I'm an
Individual
I have been a special education teacher for 26 years. For the past seven, I have been a resource room reading/language arts teacher at Scarborough Middle School. I have experience working with a broad range of students, including children on the autism spectrum, learning disabilities/dyslexia, ADHD, and just kiddos who are reluctant learners, particularly those who have difficulty in writing. I tend to be student-centered, meaning that, while school performance, grades and test scores are a reality, my initial focus is on a student's interests and motivations as a way to get them invested in the learning we do together. Only then can I apply my knowledge to their particular learning needs .I use a wide variety of materials, including school curricula, internet resources, and trade books....pretty much anything that will engage the student and help improve his or her skills. I value parent input in terms of what their goals are for my work with their child. I will work with students on all grade levels.
I meet with students in my home in Kennebunk. The only exception is if folks have cat allergies and think this will be a problem. I have two kittens who normally hide when company comes, but if allergies are a problem, I will meet in a student's home, or at the library. My rate for instruction is $35 per hour. Most students work with me for an hour, but of course, depending on the age and needs of the student, we might decide to work for a shorter session.
