I am a certified teacher with a master's degree in elementary education. In completing this degree, several classes in special needs were taught in which I received an A from Grand Canyon University: SPE-526 educating learners with special needs, SPE-533N advanced methodologies in English immersion. I have also been certified by Baltimore City Public Schools in special education long-term substitute. This requires the development of lessons plans, assessments, evaluations, and parent communications based on the Common Core. As a teacher, I am required to understand Individualized Education Plans, 504s and make modifications and accommodations for learning disabilities such as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and behavioral issues. I have been teaching for four years with students that have various disabilities. According to research acquired during my graduate work and while teaching in the classroom, it is critical to be able to reduce distractions, scaffold information, provide frequent breaks, check for understanding, and repeat directions. These are some of the guidelines under the NCLB Act of 2004 that I would be using. Additional research may be necessary given the background of the student.

My husband, daughter and I met Darrell for a consultation. He was very straight forward, knowledgeable, and knows his stuff. He was able to pick up on things immediately that our daughter needs academic support. We are very confident that he will be able to move our daughter in the right direction to ensure she is successful with enhancing her math skills.
