Work Experience
School Counselor/mentor

I created a support group and counseling program for five home schooled families. I home schooled my son due to dyslexia and recognized a need for social emotional support just as these students would receive in a brick and mortar school.
I met with students weekly and would counsel them on any emotional issues they were dealing with. I would also guide them through academic and social difficulties. I helped to nurture the relationship between parents and students. I worked with students to set and achieve academic and personal goals. Teacher/tutor/mentor
