Julie

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Buena Vista University with a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Education and Iowa State University receiving a Special Education Endorsement. While attending school, I tutored students in grades 7-12 with an emphasis on study skills, organizational skills, and test-taking skills. Soon after, I taught special education where I empowered students to become independent learners while using creative approaches to accommodate varied learning styles while tracking student progress and following timelines for re-evaluations. I developed IEP and 504 plans with collaboration from teachers, parents, and each student. While I taught a broad range of subjects, I'm most passionate about reading and writing improvement using the Kansas University Learning Strategies. The life skills of organization, studying, and test-taking are instilled in my students as it incorporated into my lessons helping students achieve their goals along with the right attitude, tools, and skills within their reach.
