Bio
I’ve had success teaching autistic boys, because I am an autistic boy. I care deeply about my students. I want to give them the direct, no-nonsense support I needed when I was their age. K12 tells me I have one of the highest rates of good reviews per student. My method works very well for certain learning types. Occasionally, a parent will complain I don’t smile enough, & that’s fine. I am autistic, my facial expressions and body language will never be quite the same as a non-autistic person. But for the students whose learning style fit my teaching style, I am very helpful. I have a Master's in Teaching. I’m certified to teach in 2 states. I have a wide range of experience, 8+ years, including 2 years teaching in Saudi Arabia. I have a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in English and Political Science. I teach grades 3-12, ELA, Math & History. I prefer that students/parents send me students’ classwork BEFORE the 1st session. I want time to prepare for class.
Teacher Specialization
I have several specialties. I’ve had a lot of success working with autistic students. I'm autistic myself. I wasn't diagnosed until my 20s, so I challenged myself more and learned to "pass" in a lot of situations. I think it ended up being a good thing. If you have an autistic kid who has not responded well to traditional tutoring, I may be able to help. I also tutor a lot of math. I specialize in Middle & High School, especially Algebra. I was considered a "math genius" as a kid, I took advanced Calculus in 10th grade. But it is vital that students send me their assignments BEFORE our session, so I have a chance to review. I also really enjoy History and ELA. I have taught both in the public schools and I also taught ELLs. I was almost the entire social studies department at a small private school, where I taught World History, US Govt, Econ and Big History.
