Experience
I am a retired Special Education teacher with 38 years of K-5 Special Education teaching experience including 29 years at Akron Public Schools. I currently work for a contract agency part-time, tutoring Special Education students at a Catholic school. I am most interested in tutoring for the Summer but, depending on my schedule next school year, I may be able to continue outside tutoring during the 2016/17 school year. I specialize in working with children who are AD/HD, Learning Disabled, Autism Spectrum, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Hearing Impairment. I have worked with Multiply Handicapped students. I have taught Cursive Handwriting with great success to all types of students. I specialize in teaching phonetics, comprehension, grammar, number sense, keyboarding, money and time, math facts, applied math skills. I enjoy teaching content area subjects (Science, Social Studies) and I am familiar with grade level curriculum in these subjects K-5.

I am also very creative in helping children to learn concentration, learning behaviors, time management, organizational skills.
