Years with HWT:10
Biography:I first learned about Handwriting Without Tears when teaching my five year old son in 2009.Learning about HWT method made me a fan for life! I hold a CA Elementary Teaching Credential, as well as Education Specialist Credential in Mild/Moderate Disabilities. I have taught in several grades over K-8, tutored, trained kindergarten teachers for a local district, and worked as a Special Education Administrator for a charter school. Currently, I don't work outside of the home, and I take care of my three boys with the oldest now in high school and the youngest preschool. We've begun learning our letters the HWT way! I'm not actively seeking clients to tutor; however, I have had a couple moms reach out for advice. I have assessed students to give advice. In addition, we decided in Nov 2019 to homeschool our high school, middle school and soon to be Pre-K sons. Please feel free to call or e-mail with any questions! I'm happy to meet, listen to your situation, and share what I know to help you and your child.
