Why did you go into teaching/tutoring?
I enjoy discovering student’s strengths and supporting them in developing a successful plan that will lead to a fulfilling career.
Why did you choose special education?
Sometimes everything falls into place and you just cannot explain how amazing it is or how it all happened. For me, I was lead into this field and I have found my niche.
