Meet the Business Owner: Francine S.
I am an energetic, kind, and motivating tutor who specializes in working with children with Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I feel strongly that an individual's motivation level will be the determining factor in his/her overall academic success. I use creativity and positive strategies to increase intrinsic motivation and support a child to enjoy succeeding at a challenging subject, along with research supported methods.
For over ten years, I have worked with children with diagnoses including Dyslexia, Hyperlexia, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience implementing ABA, PRT, DRT: Floortime, PECS, TEACCH, Linda-Mood Bell Learning Processes and the Barton Reading and Spelling system. I am a Certified Barton Tutor and have my MA in Human Behavior.
I am passionate about helping my students to the best of my ability and am always brainstorming ways to be more effective.
