Experience
I hold degrees in both Elementary and Special Education, having attended first Eastern Illinois University and then later Illinois State for my master's degree. I have been working with students for more than a decade, and I have experience with pupils ranging in age from elementary through high school. I believe a strong core of basic skills is critical for a student's academic success. My methods allow me to create individualized programs for every student I work with, so I am best able to work with their unique needs and build that core of knowledge and tools. My focus on fundamental skills has helped me to develop materials that can open the doors to a child's individual needs within an academic setting. I am available to tutor students with any reading skill level within any subject. I can also assist with basic mathematics and algebra. Additionally, I can help students develop their study skills and organization. My goal as a tutor is to help students have "light bulb moments" where they are able to finally see and understand the material, and then are able to move toward their goals with confidence. In my personal life, I enjoy reading, painting, and outdoor activities such as landscaping.
