Introduction: I am a Texas certified teacher who enjoys helping individuals, small groups, and full classrooms. Scaffolding tasks to help students reach the summit is what I do well. Students of all ages meet with me to help improve grades and/or learn new skills in math, reading, and writing. The majority of individuals with whom I work attend LISD schools and range in grades K-8; however, I can also assist upper-grade level students with writing, Algebra , and organizational and study skills. Having taught in LISD for several years, I am familiar with grade-level TEKS as well as some of the "tricks of the trade" with regard to helping students with recall (e.g. "The Helping Verb" song in ELA and "Measure of Central Tendencies" song in math). Besides teaching students in elementary, middle, and high school, I have also taught post-secondary students (ages 18 - 65 years) at a private career college. (Subjects taught from 2009 - 2014: Math 6th-8th, ELA 6th-9th, and Sci 6th-8th)
