I have worked in the education field for nearly a decade, filling roles that range from tutor and after school instructor to paraprofessional classroom aide, behavioral therapist and everything in between. While the majority of my recent experience has been in group homes and residential schools for the emotionally disturbed Deaf and Deaf-blind; I also hold a great deal of experience in private tutoring and test prep. I have worked in both 1:1 and classroom settings with children ranging in age from 3 to 19 years. I also hold a Bachelor s Degree in Sociology, am pursuing a Master s Degree in Special Education/Deaf Education and am a certified substitute teacher in Lake, Cook and Dupage counties. I am fluent in American Sign Language and proficient in written and verbal Arabic. Above all else, I am truly passionate about and dedicated to instilling a life-long love of learning within all my students.
