I am a certified special education teacher for 20 years with an additional certification in Middle School Math. I have experience in online/virtual education with MAVA and TECCA which used K-12 and Connexus platforms and curriculum. I have specialized in math for years but am very capable in many subject areas to assist with writing, studying, and homework. I've done direct teaching in courses of Pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Statistics, English (all 4 grades), Biology, and Histo...
ADD/ADHD
I am a certified special education teacher. I have experience with ADD/ADHD students, Aspberger's/ spectrum Disorder students and mild to moderate disabilities. ADD/ADHD students require a lot of patience and monitoring to keep them on task. They need assistance with organization and methods to keep themselves organized. Often these students miss important information in class as they have a classic tendency to hear only the first and last things said. Tutoring will provide the missing information to fill in those educational gaps.

Aspergers
I am a certified special education teacher. I have experience with ADD/ADHD students, Asperger's/ spectrum Disorder students and mild to moderate disabilities. Asperger's children are usually highly intelligent likely in the areas of Science and Math. Often they will become obsessive in an idea/content area and have a compulsion to learn everything about that topic or even design their own concepts. They may lack social skills and have difficulty communicating. Some people lower on the spectrum have difficulty with touch and too much sensory input.

I would highly recommend Theresa as a math tutor. She has helped my daughter to understand new concepts in both Algebra 1 and Geometry. She brought significant clarity to subjects and my daughter greatly enjoyed working with her. She has been exceptionally helpful in transitioning to public school, offering guidance as to testing, pace of study and curriculum merits. My daughter also made progress with focus and the ability to sustain independent work thanks to her time with Theresa. We found her to go above and beyond what we asked, and were impressed by how committed she is to her tutoring students.
