I love to tutor! I am a certified elementary teacher and I have experience tutoring students from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

ADD/ADHD
During the time that I spent as a paraprofessional, I worked with students who had ADD/ADHD.

I also have a teaching degree in teaching elementary school (K-6).

My youngest son has autism, and I worked as a paraprofessional in an autistic support classroom. Presenting information in small chunks, frequent breaks, visuals, lots of practice and repetition, and motivators tailored to the child's interest seem to work well in helping the student to retain and learn information.
