Experience

I currently teach special education, specifically students with autism, aged 2-7. I have a passion for education, specifically finding new and different ways to connect the dots for my students. I have taken courses not only in education (specifically math, science and english/writing) but also in child psychology, and behavior analysis. I think the combination of these backgrounds gives me a unique perspective in finding what works to make the material understandable to my students, and to make succeeding in school FUN and motivating for them! I not only know what to teach, but how to teach.

Hobbies

In my spare time I love being active! Kayaking, camping, hiking and exploring with my dog are some of my favorite things. I have always been a visual and kinesthetic learner - someone who needs to see and feel things in order to draw understanding, and I bring those strategies to my teaching. Fractions on paper don't always make sense, but when you're dealing in concrete objects (specifically ones of interest to you) a lot more conclusions can be drawn! I've found this way of teaching is beneficial to English and Creative Writing as well, get out and see, hear, smell, taste the things you're writing about in order to bring that writing off the page!
