As an experienced and certified Special Education Teacher, Special Education director at a school, certified Literacy Specialist, and an experienced tutor I am looking forward to working with your child to help them make significant progress with any math challenges they face. Many students with and without learning disabilities particularly struggle with understanding and solving math word problems. They can calculate 10 + 12 but if you give them the same numbers in a word problem they seem completely lost. I specialize in helping students visualize what is happening in a math word problem so that they can solve it. Students also often struggle with solving word problems that have more than 1 step and this is also something that I have extensive experience in helping children with doing better. 

I pride myself on learning what motivates each student (whether that be a reward, using specific characters in the word problems, breaks, etc) to ensure that they are focused and engaged throughout the session. This allows most students to make significant progress and increase their confidence as well as their actual ability. Seeing quick progress is key for students with learning challenges.
