Deborah S.

Private tutor in Epalinges, Switzerland

Education

I hold a PhD in Special Education; an EdS in Language, Reading, and Culture; and an MA in Educational Psychology, each with a minor in Educational Technology. I also hold a summa cum laude BA in English. All of my degrees were awarded by the University of Arizona, where I was named College of Education Outstanding Graduate for 2015. I offer learning disability and educational diagnostic services, as well as educational intervention and remediation of learning disorders. I also prepare individualized education programs and detailed recommendations for school personnel and parents as well. I understand the importance of your investment in your child's education. Therefore, I provide a free initial telephone consultation and discounts for multiple appointments. Please visit my website at exceptionaleducation.ch for more details or to schedule an appointment.

Experience

I have 15 years of experience as an educator, evaluator, and interventionist. I am a published author whose work in the fields of special education and educational psychology appears in refereed journals, clinical encyclopedias, academic texts, and other edited volumes. I provide independent consulting, evaluation, educational diagnostics, learning disability identification, and learning disability remediation.

Hobbies

I am a Designated Campus Colleague in Disability and Psychoeducational Studies and an Adjunct Professor in Educational Technology at the University of Arizona. I also serve as an External Evaluator for a Department of Defense Education Activity Grant. On a personal note, I am an expat and mother of three daughters, one of whom is challenged by a learning disability, so I understand how difficult it can be to secure appropriate educational services for your child when living abroad.
