Experience
4 years of teaching experience working with children with disabilities specifically Autism. Job Coach for children with disabilities. Currently, I am an Applied Behavioral Analysis parent home trainer professional working with children with Autism. Currently, also working at Honors Review Tutoring Center, tutoring ELL's and mainstream classes in English Composition, power writing and standardized test prep. I am more interested in private tutoring because I believe that students benefit from the 1:1 learning environment. I am able to design my lesson plan around students' individual academic needs and generalize my teaching style.

Hobbies
Effective teaching is comprised of several ingredients. A great teacher obviously must have extensive knowledge in his content area; this knowledge serves as the foundation of instruction. Yet, an effective educator must possess more than content expertise. The job of the teacher/tutor, after all, is to help students acquire valuable skills. In order to learn efficiently. I want my students to be engaged and motivated. I believe in promoting student engagement, demonstrating passion and energy; along with mastery of subject matter. This lets the students know that they are working with someone who can both answer their questions and hold their attention. I believe a tutor is someone who has the ability to inspire a sense of self-efficacy in students. Hobbies: I was told I wear many hats. I am currently a professional wedding DJ yet I specialize in all types of events. I enjoy music, travel, current events, culture & food.
