After retirement from 25 years of teaching in the NJ public school system, I have tutored small groups and individuals in all subject areas on an elementary level, SAT language and reading, and middle-high school language and reading.My therapy dog often accompanies me and greatly increases motivation, as well as comfort and enjoyment during the learning process. He is a small loving dog (ShihTzu) who has proven to increase student concentration and performance. This is optional.
