I have been teaching reading, writing, and other disciplines in the Humanities for twenty years; due to this experience, I have a set of tools for all types of learners. Initially I assess the way a student learns: verbally, visually, kinesthetically, or via listening. After this assessment, I use a student’s strengths to help them build toward sharpening the other ways of learning and expressing to enable them to be successful in the different skill sets they are asked to master in school.

No matter the discipline or the grade level, your child will be asked to write. These writing tasks will include lab reports, book reports, research papers, metacognitive reflections, inductive and deductive argument papers, and creative writing pieces. With all of these tasks, students are also asked to read. I understand what is involved in all of these cognitive activities, and I can help your child use his/her strengths, as well as sharpen his/her weaknesses, to become excellent readers, critical thinkers, and writers.
