I am an energetic person, who strives for excellence in all I do. I'm currently working with high needs and at risk youths and adults mastering the English language. I have been tutoring for 8 years, and I am trained in Orton-Gillingham method of reading instruction for individuals with Dyslexia. I know all students have the ability to learn and to grow and it is my responsibility to use the best research based method to help them succeed. Learning is a cooperative activity that students must willingly engage in with an instructional leader. My methods for inspiring students to learn involve creating an authentic relationship through genuine care and valuation. I use a variety of strategies to make learning fun such as 60 second mini games, modified content to align with interests, and 3-5 minute student-directed closing activities (talking, drawing, laughing, etc.). These methods compliment honest discussion about why I am working with the student and what we are working for.

Kevin has been working with my 5th grade son on reading for the past few months. He is positive, professional, and does a great job tailoring his lessons to the child's interests and needs. My son really enjoys working with him and we are loving the progress he is making in reading!
