Special Needs: ?
I am a recent graduate from a prestigious liberal arts college in Ohio. I now live in Boston and teach full time at a school for children with autism. My previous tutoring experience includes: working with elementary age students in math, reading, and writing; helping high schoolers with science homework; and teaching pre-k children the basics of reading, writing, and math. Further, I have worked extensively with the special needs population.
My general turoring approach is that of increasing independence. I do not like to give answers, but am happy to point my students in the right direction and give guidance along the way. My main strength is endless patience; I am more than willing to take as much time as needed to work through problem areas.
I have my own car and am happy to travel.
