Is your student in need of an academic boost or additional challenges? Are you in need of a competent tutor for your student? I can help. Tutoring is available in either your home or an area library depending upon my current schedule. I possess a wealth of resources, and can offer advice on ways in which to use technology to enrich your student's learning experience, as well as help with study skills and basic organizational needs. I alter my teaching style to match the needs of your student. With middle school students, I prefer to either focus on content area reading skills or on one specific subject area and related study skills. Math is a speciality area of mine.

I have spent the past five years tutoring and acting as an educational consultant/parent advocate at IEP meetings. As a former sixth grade teacher in Jefferson County, I have taught all subject areas, and have received the most recent training in Read/Write Connection (Power-Writing), Six-Traits of Writing, and the Best Practices in Teaching Mathematics. I also possess a strong background in working with learning disabled, attention different students, gifted students, and students diagnosed with emotional difficulties. I hold a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. in Information and Learning Technologies K-12 from the University of Colorado at Denver. My Teacher Certification program was completed through Metro State College and it remains current.

Tutoring is available for students in grades 5-8. The cost is $40/hour. Please contact me via
e-mail if you would like to set up a tutoring session, or if you have further questions regarding the needs of your child. Please provide a brief description of your student's needs ,as well as, the name of the school your student attends. There is no charge for the first visit to determine the needs of your child and to evaluate if I can be of assistance.

I am also available as an educational consultant to help parents with issues related to students with learning disabilities or other special needs and to attend IEP or 504 meetings as a parent advocate. Many students find success in the classroom through alternative instructional methods or with specific support. Please click on the link at the right for more information.
