I have been tutoring students ages 5 through 14 for five years on a full-time basis. I also run a STEM Days program for students ages 3 through 13. One of my focus areas is literacy standards that help students write well in a fun and engaging manner. I have experience working with students needing special attention, including but not limited to English Language Learners and students diagnosed with ADHD and autism.
