About Me

Hi, my name is Kara – in my Introduction post, I include a brief background in education.  I graduated with a B.S. in Elementary Education and will soon hold a M. Ed in Special Education. I’ve been in the field for almost 10 years, which while compared to some is not much, however I also have been in many different settings and worked with many different very special children.  Some who have gotten into my heart and stayed there even after so many years.

I currently work in Denver, CO and I am sorry but due to nature of this blog I will not reveal my current employer, maybe when I am no longer there.

Anyway, I have been married 5 1/2 years to a wonderful computer IT person. You can see his technical blog here. We enjoy traveling and documenting our adventures through photography.  Nick is a professional photographer on the side, so most of the photos I use in postings are from his artistic eye.  We do not have children, as I consider the many students over the years mine in a way and am not sure I would have the energy to teach and parent at the same time.  Commendations to those who do.

 

As a current special education teacher with previous experience teaching regular education I am available for tutoring any subject, any grade level.  I have tutored in reading and math from early to GED prep.  My current availability is limited to still working full-time however as I continue to pursue my consulting dream, I expect my schedule to change over the next year or so.  If you are interested in a tutoring session with your child please let me know, I also will sit down and coach parents through various aspects of the special education maze.
