My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have taught many different special needs classes in the public schools such as ADD/ADHD and high functioning Autism, high functioning retardation and behavioral problem students. Each student needs a different approach to learning. None can be lumped into one classroom and must have individual attention.My teaching methods recognize the whatever each individual student needs to be able to focus and learn to study the best.I approach each student as if they were not a special education student, but merely a student who needs a bit of extra attention. They get rewards like stickers for good achievements. I encourage parents to be involved in their child's on going education as much as possible with weekly assignments the student must follow through on to receive the stickers, but the parents absolutely MUST be involved to help with these assignments. i always give the parents a daily assessment of how the student is doing.

3 years experience as an educator in the Copperas Cove Independent School District. 2 years experience working independently as a tutor in all core courses with grades pre-K through 6th grade. I have taught all ranges of students, including special education students with ADHD and both high functioning autism and retardation. In the public school setting the special education classes were all taught together as one. However I have tutored them on a one on one basis more effectively. Just like every other student, they need individual attention to retain what they are taught and have their own learning style that can only be found in a personal tutor that understands their behavior and learning needs. I have that experience and knowledge.
Creative teaching for a life time love of learning. I gather everything at my disposal to work with my students and teach to their particular ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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.

I am a credentialed teacher and for the past three years I have taught grades k-12.

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 adhere to Gardener's Multiple Intelligences, which states that each student possesses certain intelligences and that using a students' strengths improves their achievement. Each student has individual needs, that when nurtured, will allow the student to realize his potential. Students learn differently in different environments, and as an educator, I believe a student learns best when in a comfortable environment, especially with new or challenging material. Most importantly, it is my goal to help students become individual learners and thinkers, to teach them not only content but how to help themselves as well. As a teacher, I had high expectations for all my students, and they reached them when we set manageable goals.

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.

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.
