I taught separate ESE classes K-5, then self- contained ASD K-5, third grade and kindergarten regular ed. with inclusion. I also participated in the "homebound" program through my school district, which was tutoring for students who had medical issues which impaired their attendance at school. I love teaching and tutoring of most subjects, except fourth/ fifth grade math. My "style" is as much hands-on as possible,as well as a lot of probing questions. I try to get a working knowledge of the students' background information, and ways they learn best before trying to teach them. I love spending time with my (adult) children and my grandchildren. I love animals/pets and have had many different kinds through the years. I get excited to try new recipes-both food and dessert items. I enjoy watching sports, and learning about new places. I really like to travel, although I haven't been out of the U.S. in a very long time.
