I am a special education teacher for over 20 years. I have spent the majority of... my time working with struggling readers and writers. I have worked with severely dyslexic children, gifted children and everything in between. I have taught every age level from 3 to 18. I thoroughly enjoy lifting these children up and seeing the joy on their faces as they discover new worlds through reading and writing. I currently work in a learning center with high school girls/young ladies. It is wonderful and very rewarding, especially after Covid, when most children fell behind. I have also working in public and private schools in varies states. I found both to be rewarding, and yet the private schools that focused specifically on students with reading challenges were my favorite. I learned SO much from fellow teachers and tons of professional development they provided us on a regular basis. I have tutored so many students over the years I have most certainly lost count. I feel very grateful to be able to relieve the stress that often affects families due to students who struggle with homework and assignments. The families are always so grateful. I have worked at a specialized school for most of my summers that is for students with severe reading issues and need to go to ESY. I never tire of teaching the English language and all of it's challenging nuances. Making it fun and enjoyable has always been a gift of mine and has lead to my successful tutoring career over the years. read more
