Support your child academically

  • Find out how your child is doing. I am more than happy speak with you over email, phone, or in person to discuss your child’s progress and educational goals.
  • Apply for special services if you think your child may need it. If your child is having problems with learning, ask the school to evaluate your child in his or her strongest language. I may able to provide accommodations for your child in class. If the school finds out your child has a learning disability, he can receive extra help at no cost. For more information, see Where To Go For Help.
  • Find homework help for your child if needed. I hold tutorial 1 hour before the school bell rings every Monday and Wednesday. If you feel that your child needs more intensive help, email me and I will help you find high quality academic assistance for your child.
