About the store

Experience

I have over 40 years' experience teaching K-post graduate school. For the past 15 years, I've specialized in teaching students with language-based learning disabilities, executive dysfunction, and ADHD. I've also helped train teachers, tutors, and parents to work more effectively with students facing these challenges.

Teaching style

One-on-one, in person or online. If the student does not have a comprehensive evaluation, I do an informal one to guide my teaching. I build on a student's strengths and interests, locate the student's growing edge, and enlist the student to perform a series of experiments, adopting customized learning strategies to see how they pay off over time. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and based on the sacred trust implicit in any teaching relationship. My goal is to reduce suffering.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Merit Scholar, various scholarships.

My own education history

Undergraduate: Harvard University, Indiana University (1972) Graduate: Maharishi University of Management (1976) and Warren Wilson College (1986) additional training includes: Orton-Gillingham Comprehensive Training, Lindamood-Bell Phoneme Sequencing, Phonographix, Read Naturally, Verbalizing and Visualizing, Unlocking Literacy, Strategies that Work (course offered by William Stixrud, Ph.D., for whom I subsequently worked as a faculty member of that course).

Additional biographical information

I live with my husband of almost 40 years in Alexandria, VA, close to two of our grown children. In addition to teaching I write poetry (Soultending, 2001) and songs. We are inveterate hikers, hiking from Nazareth to Galilee, Israel, in the summer of 2018 with our son and his wife.
