As a magna cum laude graduate in my undergraduate program and both of my graduate programs, I recognize the need for hard work and dedication to education.

ADD/ADHD
I believe that I am uniquely qualified to work with students having these special challenges. My educational background provides me with a toolbox of techniques to apply and my experience provides a context in which to place the efficacy of those tools. During the course of my teaching and tutoring career, I have had the privilege of working successfully with numerous students with ADD and ADHD. I have come away with the understanding that each students needs are unique and that there is no student that cannot be reached with enough perseverance and patience. I am a certified K - 9 teacher in the state of Illinois. I have taught elementary school for 15 years and have tutored students in grades 1 - 6 since I received my degree. Currently I am a full-time teacher, teaching 5th grade science and 6th grade Social Studies.

Understands different student's needs. Willing to do what it takes to help your child learn. Changes techniques and methods as needed to better meet the needs of the individual student. Very flexible with scheduling to be accommodating.
