Paula B.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
Masters In Special Education (MsSped) from Dominican University, MFA and BFA from Columbia.
Experience
I have 8 years experience as a tutor and 13 years as a teacher. I adore tutoring because as a teacher I often see students excel with outside assistance! I have experience in all grade levels- but specialize in middle school ages ( grades 6-9). I am a dual certified teacher with certifications in both regular (Type 09) and Special Education (Type 10) teaching. I am also a Behavior and Reading Specialist. I am also highly qualified in Middle School Science and have math teaching experience. I specialize in non traditional learners in need of organizational and behavior support. I am a professional artist outside of the classroom and enjoy incorporating visual expression and hands on activities into my curriculum. I have a proven track record of helping students achieve and exceed goals. I offer reading and math progress monitoring using the AIMSWEB system of progress monitoring as part of my fee schedule and offer a sliding scale fee base. Since I am a current teacher I have knowledge of Common Core and grade level skill expectations and can help you or your child meet the needs of today's classroom.

I also coach soccer, and adore cooking and home renovations as hobbies.
