Curtis Education

I love to teach people to read. I feel strongly that reading is a crucial skill to develop, as it grants you the freedom to learn continuously and become self-sufficient.

I love giving people the tools they need to go out and create the life they want when they are older.

It’s truly amazing to witness a student transform from lacking confidence to someone who believes in their ability to succeed.

I am currently the Reading Specialist in the Special Ed Dept. at several Charter Middle Schools and High Schools where I tutor children with ADD and Dyslexia and Processing Disorder.

My 30 + year career in education started as a teacher at Lewis Carroll Academy of the Arts, where I taught Kindergarten through 12th grade. I went on to become the Director of Education, during which time I developed their phonics program and English curriculum and specified all math, history, science and geography curriculum. I had direct oversight of the teachers, classrooms, quality control and educational programs specifically tailored to each student.

In the last 30 years, I have tutored students ranging from those in need of homework help to those enrolled in special education programs, from those diagnosed with learning differences such as ADD/ADHD and processing disorders, to the exceptionally bright or the gifted.

I also served as the Director of the Hollywood Education and Literacy Project which is a non-profit is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mission is to eradicate illiteracy and empower the individual to become a competent, independent learner with sound communication skills that make it possible to succeed in life.
