About Me

I have been working in the human services field for over 15 years as a therapist. I worked with children ranging from elementary school on through to the high school level with learning disabilities or hindered learning due to behavioral difficulties. My main areas of expertise and preferred areas of tutoring include elementary through middle school reading and math both with children who have learning disabilities and those who do not. On the college level I have been tutoring statistics for 3 years and have 10 years experience in assisting grad students with writing thesis papers and dissertations as well as guiding them on how to analyze data. I am also an intermediate user of STATA.My oldest son is a freshman and is 15 years old. He has mild autism and has many difficulties academically with reading, writing, and math. Over the past 8 years I have been tutoring him in these subject areas as well as some of his peers in the same subject areas for the past 6-7 years. In addition, I have tutored my now 22 year old stepdaughter and two of her friends on the high school level in math, writing, and reading. My stepdaughter has mild autism, dyslexia, and learning disabilities and she has shown tremendous progress over the past 3-4 years. The students I have tutored over the years have shown significant progress under my instruction and I often get requests still for new students by word of mouth of the parents of my previous students. I love teaching and enjoy seeing students get excited about what he or she is learning. My educational background includes obtaining a bachelor's degree from Penn State in human development, a master's degree in business from University of Phoenix and a master's degree in education curriculum and instruction from the University of Phoenix. I worked as a classroom aide on the middle and elementary school grade levels as well as special education and emotional support classrooms. On a personal note, I am a stay at home mom now to 3 amazing boys ages 15, 13, & 7 and a beautiful little girl who is 3 years old. I have a beautiful 22 year old stepdaughter who is working full time and working towards a career in healthcare. I love spending time with kids and going on educational trips. I have been married for 7 years and we have 2 spoiled fur babies. I personally love music, singing, writing, spending time with my kiddos, taking mini road trips, exploring new things, photography, and playing board games. Thank you for taking time to read my profile and I look forward to working with you and your child!
