What that means is...if your child is a visual learner meaning they need to SEE it ...I use lots of pictures and other visual aids, if they learn better by listening then I combine the visual with lots of descriptions, if they need to use their body and hands then we do lots of hands-on experiments:) I.. of course......

Six years later, I moved to Dallas, TX to work as an elementary school teacher in an urban school district. I've been here for ten years and have spent the entire decade working in education.

...education. As part of my degree program I am certified to work with ESL students. Since graduation, I have been working at a charter school as a 3rd grade teacher. I also tutor some of my former, as well as incoming students. I am passionate about working with kids in a hand-on learning environment.

The road to the finish isn't always a straight line and we should always be looking for those little twists and turns that will get us there faster. I try to create a very low stress environment and hope that every single person I tutor goes on to do greater...

I provide my clients with personalized instruction that is not always available due to the lack of time and the high sense of urgency in current classrooms. I strive to keep students on or ahead of the pace of their subjects...
