数学の事実の流暢さ: 掛け算と割り算

Hello! I'm looking forward to providing your child with focused instruction in their areas of need! Please reach out so that we may work together to develop a tutoring plan that fits your child's needs as well as your budget and schedule.

I'm a certified teacher in the state of West Virginia with credentials in Elementary K - 6 General Education and Mild/Moderate Mental Impairments K - Adult Special Education.  I've worked in the fields of education and applied behavior analysis for 20 years, most recently as a math teacher in grades 3 - 8 in a virtual charter school program. Prior to this assignment, I was the lead teacher in a program transitioning learners with autism from 1:1 behavior therapy to group academic instruction. I was also the lead staff in a tutoring program helping K - 6 students catch up to grade level in math and reading. I was fortunate to be able to attend Morningside Academy's Summer Institute in 2017, receiving training in Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching. For over a decade, I've worked with learners who use augmentative communication devices/speech-generating devices such as LAMP: Words for Life and Vantage Lite, and I'm comfortable teaching learners who use those modalities.

I'm the author of four middle grade novels, most recently FREE VERSE and  ASHES TO ASHEVILLE (G.P. Putnam's Sons/Penguin Random House), and I spent six years teaching a weekly writing class for middle grade students at Cabell County Public Library in Huntington, WV. I volunteer at Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, Inc., and I share my home with an elderly dog, a smattering of cats, and one delightful 14-year-old human!
