Work History

Tutor, Special Needs Students

Self Employed
01.2019 - Current

In January 2019 I started tutoring kids in math and reading and also helping older kids learn subjects like science and history. I have used the Math-U-See program for teaching math. I also made sure they also understand a concept called base 10 so I know they understand the place value of each place they are in wether it's units/ones, tens, hundreds etc. For reading I learned the linda mood bell method and took classes in order to take kids through the linda mood bell reading program. I have had a lot of success with kids learning math and reading with those programs. For science and history I used their own materials but I taught them how to study and learn rather than how to memorize everything because I noticed the kids were memorizing instead of understanding. I gave them better study tools that allowed them to start being able to understand what they were learning.

Massage Therapist

Self Employed
01.2016 - Current

I went to massage school in 2010. I started working in January of 2016. Between starting working and graduating massage school I took classes on reflexes with kids from Dr Musgatova and learned how to do reflex work on kids. I started doing the reflex work with kids who struggle in school with learning and it made a huge difference in their ability to learn in school. The kids started making better grades, making friends easier and performing sports easier as well. I have also taken ortho biology classes which work with the idea of if something is a little out of place you add gentle compression and move it in the direction it wants to move in and the body will realize it's out of alignment and self correct itself.
