Social Skills Support!!!

I have been teaching children on the autism spectrum in the Leander Independent School District for the last 5 years. I have taught students of varying needs on the autism spectrum ranging from social needs to severe behavior and academic support. As a recent graduate of the University of Texas Autism and Developmental Disabilities masters program I am very up to date with current research-based interventions for students with autism. In particular I am experienced in Applied Behavior Analysis, as I am currently working towards my Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.

Each child is different and has their own unique set of skills that they bring to the table. You have to find what that child's strength is - and use it to help that child grow in other areas. Each child must be approached as an individual, and there is not a ready-set plan that works for everyone. Find what motivates a child, what makes them tick, establish rapport with them - and then guide them along the way while providing them with multiple opportunities to experience success.
I have seven years of experience teaching general education in elementary schools, with one year of experience in 4th grade, two years in 3rd grade, and four years in 2nd grade. I have worked with children with special needs including autism, ADD/ADHD, and dyslexia. I recently completed my Masters in Special Education with an emphasis in Autism Intervention, along with a Behavior Analysis certificat ... read more

I believe in helping the students discover their own answers. Through patient discussion and problem solving the students will better understand the subject matter. It is important to take the time and listen to their problems so as to best understand how to achieve a solution. At times learning disabilities or other problems can require creativity in reaching the student. Through my years of working with teenagers I can achieve that creativity. I am a comfortable and relaxed person. I love working with students and helping them achieve academic success. Nothing is better for me than seeing a struggling student find new and exciting success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach to the child and motivate them to do better through their natural desires to achieve and to seek approval. I believe in postive reinforcement that is linked to realistic and attainable goals. Building relationship with children and their families is the best tool I know for helping children learn. I see children as a part of the greater systems of family and community. I believe it truly takes a village to raise children and that cooperation among the adults that impact them the most- family, including all members of the extended family, teachers, friends, religious and other community leaders - ensures a child's success. It is my goal to make a positive difference in every child's life.
With over 20 years experience as an educator I have taught, tutored, and trained students from pre-school to adults. I hold an MA in Education and Counseling, a BA in Socialpsychology and a ... read more

As a graduate of Southwestern University with a Bachelor in English and Communications, I was drawn to the field of education. I come from a family of teachers. After earning a post-baccalaureate certification in Secondary Education with a focus on English/Language Arts, I taught for a couple years and wanted to expand my teaching to younger students as well. I am also certified in elementary k-6 instruction. My passion and specialization are in reading instruction, literature, grammar, and composition. During the past ten years, I have tutored AP English, ESL students and parents, elementary students, and middle school students who wanted to improve their reading, speaking, test taking, and writing abilities.

Learning how to read critically and write clearly tends to improve academic performance across the board; students with strong reading and writing skills can absorb and communicate information effectively, even when they are unfamiliar with the material. Mastering these basic skills is as important for college and graduate students as for elementary and high school students. I can help you expand your vocabulary, polish your writing skills, and offer strategies for fast and effective reading comprehension, especially in preparation for the verbal sections of standardized tests. Finally, I am still a student myself, so I can sympathize with a heavy workload, and offer strategies for getting assignments finished on time.
I am a graduate student in the History Department at UT-Austin, and I have a BA in Philosophy from Brown University. Having been a teaching assistant at the college ... read more

More About This Tutor...

From my experience, I have learned that every child has the ability to succeed when given the proper tools and taught at the appropriate skill level. Often in the school system, a child struggles because they are given general class work that is too difficult or above their current level, not because they are unable to learn. I believe that a child must first have a solid foundation and the belief that he/she is capable. I work patiently with my students, employing different approaches to find the best technique for that student in order to build this foundation. I gently challenge students to continually push themselves, while celebrating in the small successes of learning. I fundamentally believe that each child is capable of learning.
