首先，我是一名母亲，我喜欢花时间与家人和朋友在一起。我喜欢骑自行车，做饭，取消预订，和朋友出去吃午餐或晚餐。我也支持那些在学校没有得到适当服务的孩子。我热衷于让孩子们从学校系统中获得他们成功所需要的东西。在学术上，这些年我获得了三个硕士学位。一个是商业领域的，另外两个是心理学领域的;学校心理学与教育心理学。作为一名学校心理学家，我在公立学校工作了几年。我非常喜欢和孩子们一起工作，帮助他们在学业上取得一定程度的成功。我喜欢使用多模式的方法来辅导，包括典型的纸和笔的工作，基于计算机的学习工具，手工策略和基于讨论的学习。 I believe for a student to remain engaged and active in their own learning they have to enjoy it to some degree. The teaching has to be interesting, engaging and have some level of fun tied to it. The teacher/tutor needs to know their student(s) and what their learning styles are in order to create the most effective strategies. I believe a reward system is very helpful for students who have a very low level of motivation to do their school work. It can be a very simple system which does not require spending lots of money, if any. I thoroughly enjoy working with children with special needs and various learning disabilities. My background is in the field of special education and I am well versed on a variety of interventions that prove successful with students. I have worked with students at all levels and have learned that a one's confidence level plays a large part in their success. When one feels confident about themselves and their ability to learn the material they seem to progress a bit quicker than those who struggle with self-confidence. I will help to build your child's self-confidence as they learn. It can be a fun experience and something your child looks forward to instead of dreading doing their school work. I look forward to working with you and your student(s).
