My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I am a special education teacher and have worked with a couple students with Dyslexia.

From my experience, I have realized that students learn faster and retain the information they learned longer if a tactile, hands-on approach is used. Currently, I teach K-5 students, and no matter what I'm teaching, I try to turn it into an educational game where the students are up and moving and having fun while learning. Each one exceeded my expectations and learned far more than anyone could have imagined. I truly believe in finding the style of learning that suits each student, and pursuing that particular route. And I have found that you can include each learning style by using a tactile approach. It is extremely simple to add in visual and auditory components within hands-on activities. I love finding new ideas and fun ways to teach each subject!
My classroom experience with Special Education started while in college at Illinois State University, where I gained very v ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Hi.. I am a special educator handling children with mild and moderate dyslexia. I was working in the mainstream line and realized that there were children who were slow learners or in other words needed to be taught in a way they could learn.I explored and educated myself on those lines.I am currently working in an organization which caters to such children.Patience and empathy works wonders with these children.Each student is unique and has his/her style of learning.Each case of dyslexia is unique because it results from a combination of an underlying talent, or predisposition, and from environmental influences and unsuccessful learning experiences. As a result, no two dyslexics will have exactly the same set of symptoms. Understanding and working consistently can make the difference between giving up and trying again :)

More About This Tutor...

I am currently a Special Education student at Northern Illinois University. I at the beginning of the education program and think this would an excellent chance to start teaching. I have a vast background in science, being that my first major was biology.
I think I can provide exceptional one on one tutoring for a student of any age. My knowledge has been spread out throughout my college years and this would be a great first step into teaching. I am willing to do whatever a child needs in order for them to fully grasp a concept. I often think outside of the box and think I can provide some creativeness that other teachers cannot.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have wanted to be a teacher all my life. I love working with children and teaching. I believe that children are the future and should be given the opportunity to do well and succeed in school. I like to do my best to teach students how to do something and then let them discover and practice how to do it for themselves on their own. I feel that providing good instruction and then being there to assist when needed is the best way for students to learn. I also understand that all students learn differently, so I would include the student in determining what strategies work best for him or her.
Since graduating from Northern Illinois University, I have had several experiences teaching children at the elementary and middle school age. I was a nanny for a family of three for a year right after graduating. It was a wonderful experience and gave me the opportunity to create my own ... read more

If I had to pick one style it would be direct teaching. Although being a special education teacher I also use the cognitive strategy instruction. This approach is very helpful as a tool to help students develop the necessary skills to be self-regulated learners. One should continually differentiate the lesson utilizing all the modalities. When I facilitate interaction between the class it will depend on the lesson sometimes having the whole class participate is the way to go, other times it is helpful to employ small groups. I believe you have to be versatile yet consistent I feel this is important for the learning styles of the students.
As a seasoned teacher I have accomplished many attributes. I have earned a bachelor's in Music and a masters in Special ed. In addition I believe that teaching is not like any other profession, it challenges you in every way possible from b ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I was a self-contained and resource teacher at both the elementary and middle school. My role was to provide differentiated lessons to met the various needs and abilities, write and update measureable IEPs aligned to state standards, do curriculum assessment, data collection, do case studies, mentor new Special Education teachers, team teach, and work collaboratively with therapists, social workers, regular education teachers, assistants, and parents. I also spent time teaching regular education in both 2nd and 3rd grade, and having classes with the Academically Talent students.
The first thing I would want to know about my students is how do they learn. This would allow me to develop lesson plans that would be meaningful and productive to them. Another area that I feel is necessary would be their current abilities. Doing curriculum-based assessments would allow me to align an ... read more

I teach to the needs and style of the child. I understand that each child has a specific style of learning. I vary my teaching with visual, auditory, and multi-sensory aids. All of my teaching includes a great deal of patience and humor! I have had great success in each child I have tutored, whether this has involved understanding, grades, or self-esteem.
I have taught, tutored and administered educational programs for over 15 years. These experiences included teaching 1st and 4th grade, tutoring grades 1-8, writing assistance for high school and university students, teaching ESL to youth and adult, GED prep for youth and adults, and managing two adult education programs. I have also earned certification in special learning needs.

I love helping children see the beauty in the world we live. That can be through solving a math problem that they struggled with or helping them learn from their mistakes. My goal is to help your child reach their full potential. I believe with the correct learning environment and focused attention a child will be able to overcome all obstacles.
During my study towards at BS in Chemistry I published a paper with a professor doing electrochemical research. I currently work at a small manufacturing company where I purchase raw materials, formulate products, supervise the manufacturing process and check the quality of the end product. Through my studies and work I have learned to apply analytical thinking to real world problems for results. During the past decade I have tutored in mathematics, science, philosophy, photography and literature.

My goal is to teach a student. This includes presenting material in a way he or she can assimilate it. If the student does not understand the information I present, then I try my best to show him or her practical, real life examples of how to accomplish the task at hand.
As a graduate of Sacred Heart Classical Center, I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II since I left the school in the Spring 2009. During that time, I have taught and tutored every type of student from the high achieving to the equally achieving, yet learning disabled, student.
