Waltham, Massachusetts

I became a Special Needs Teacher because the public schools did not teach my son to read. My son graduated from college with an MBA, and I have dedicated my life to helping other children succeed in spite of their challenges. Besides tutoring, I publish books and workbooks to aid in learning to read, spell, and write. I also publish free, animated videos on YouTube Sue's Strategies Channel. The videos teach skills for reading, spelling, grammar, outlining, comprehension, and essays. I help students and adults from ages 6 to 60.
