My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I have over 15 years of tutoring experience, over 5 years of Academic Teaching Experience, which includes being a Student Advocate and Para-Educator. I have a degree in Psychology, and one of my focus is Learning Disabilities, ADD/ADHD, and Behavioral Modification.
While working as a Student Advocate I had to:
Work with at-risk elementary children
Motivate children to learn and improve their conditions
Meet with students one-on-one-, in groups settings, and do classroom presentations on character building lessons.
Behavioral management and discipline plans
Keep track on truancy problems
Conduct Suicide Prevention Groups.
As a Para-Educator my tasks included:
Help elementary students from 2nd grade to 6th grade in their writing and reading skills.
Work with students who have moderate to severe disabilities (learning, physical, and mental disabilities).
Teaching functional and academic skills.
Work with students in small groups.
Use appropriate techniques for student and classroom management.
Direct small groups of students in various areas of academics.
I have always enjoyed teaching and helping others to learn. I don't believe in "I can't do it" or "I can't learn". I believe that anyone can learn anything as long as they're willing to learn and put an effort to do so.

It is all a matter of adapting oneself to the student's need and ability to learn.
My goal is to make the student learn what they set up their mind to learn in the first place, and help them improve their condition. It is very rewarding to see that you have made a difference in their lives.
