My experience is broad. I have taught English and History for over twenty years, and have tutored for over twelve years. Teaching grades 5-12 has afforded me the opportunity to grow as a teacher. I am an IB certified teacher for the middle grades, and am a professional educator in the state of CT for English.
Currently, I am an Academic Coach at a local school, working with students with learning differences. Moreover, I work with newly-arrived international students from China who need ESL assistance. I work with both middle and upper school students who sometimes struggle with executive functioning issues. I also assist them with reading comprehension, writing and "global" strategies like note-taking and test-taking.
I think my strength comes from two sources: caring about my students and having a strong desire to help them do well. The personal connection is the key, but after that my students know that I care about bringing out the best in them.
I am very flexible and patient...completely non-threatening!
