Pamela
Experienced and Effective Tutor
I have been tutoring students from elementary grades through college for the past 8 years. I am extremely patient but at the same time I expect my students be serious and focused in their studies.

autism
I have been tutoring an autistic child five days a week for the past year. I help him with his homework assignments. I also create independent study projects from building models to writing and performing plays. Because each child's symptoms and cognitive abilities are unique, I would need to discuss a child's needs with his or her parents to see if there was a good fit.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Aspergers
I have been working with special needs students for eight years. For the past two years, I have worked daily with a teenage boy who is diagnosed with highly functional autism. His symptoms are the same as Aspergers in addition to a slight learning disability which is usually not present in people with Aspergers. I assist him with all of his academic work. In addition, I create and supervise independent learning activities, including research and writing projects, theatre arts, music, and foreign language lessons. I am very knowledgable and well read on working with students on the autism spectrum and Aspergers.
