As a language therapist, my training and experience includes the Orton-Gillingham approach and Barton Reading. It is a joy to provide remediation with students with reading problems/dyslexia. To hear and see the progress of my students is always exciting! As a tutor, I am able to present material and concepts to students in an easy-to-understand manner. Often, I look for ways to relate to students as individuals and connect the academic studies to their personal interests. I have a personable and upbeat teaching style while challenging, pacing, motivating, and holding students accountable for their learning progress. My qualifications for teaching reading and dyslexia include use of the Orton-Gillingham approach and the Barton Reading System. With specific teaching methods, students who struggle with decoding, fluency, spelling, comprehension, and writing can be successfully helped to ov

I believe that it is the teacher's job to discover the true learning style of their students and when we do it is like unlocking a treasure chest of gold, so to speak. I enjoy teaching all the subjects in school and I enjoy the challenge of teaching children with learning disabilities and or emotional disabilities. I like to differentiate my instruction so that all students can access the curriculum and I keep track of my performance through regular assessments and using the RTI (Response to Intervention) process. I know how to teach reading and writing effectively studying under Dr. Elaine Cheesman from U.C.C.S. Also, I am able to teach math effectively for grades 5-8 with my combined experience and the courses I have participated in. For the past four years I have been working at The Children's ARK-A residential treatment facility for at-risk youth. I was a teaching assistant my first

As a Special Education teacher, I am expert at creating lessons that will reach your student. I have worked specifically with elementary level reading and interventions, but also have worked with middle and high school students in literature, writing and grammar. Children deserve the best education possible. I feel my teaching can contribute to their success in the classroom and enhance their learning experience. Teaching should be structured to ensure that student needs are met. Teaching should be creative so that students are involved in the process. Students should be provided a learning environment where they can grow to their full potential.

I graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Elementary Education with a Reading Specialization. I have taught 2nd grade in the public school system until I had my own children. I have experience teaching all grade levels up to Junior in High School because I have home-schooled my children. I have experience working with different learning disabilities as well; for example, Dyslexia, ADD. I also have 37 years of music experience playing the piano. I have taught piano for 10 years. I have tutored all subjects in the elementary grades and History, English, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra I in the upper grades. I have worked with children in one capacity or another for over 20 years. I love to help children achieve their educational goals and to succeed in any way possible.

I have helped children prepare for preschool through games and activities, and community college students brainstorm ideas for transfer essays. I am very organized, responsible and trustworthy. I have worked at a Montessori preschool and am comfortable using hands-on, creative methods for learning. Each student is different and learning approaches need to reflect that. I have worked with sensory-sensitive preschoolers, mentally challenged high school students, and ESL students ranging in age from 3 to 40. Whether they needed to learn how to tie their shoes, write an essay, the parts of an atom, how to use a conjunction, why the slope of a line is important, or how to write their name, I was there to help. I worked at Moorpark College as an ESL and Writing Tutor, helping students discover ways to identify and clarify ideas, refine a topic, outline ideas, and develop the skills needed to w

I have earned two bachelor degrees;a BA in Psychology and a BA in Child Development. I also have an AA in General Studies with the focus on Early Childhood Education. I have been a director of a preschool for 4 years. I have taught in 2 preschools. I have tutored children, below the average reading level, in grades 1-6. I was the Site Supervisor in an elementary age after-school program.I have an American Sign Language certificate and passing scores on the CBEST (California Basic Edcuational Skills Test). Working with/helping children is my passion. I believe that all children are capable of succeeding in life if given the proper tools and/or guidance. I also believe that each child is an individual and that they do not all learn in the same manner. I make every effort to find their specific style of learning and teach from there. I try to make every child feel successful and take pride

I retired last year after 33 years of United States Air Force military and civilian service. I have earned a BA in Sociology and an AS in Engineering Design Drafting. Throughout my career, I often found myself providing both individual tutoring and group instruction. One of my most enjoyable positions was as a full-time satellite scheduler instructor where I would train newly hired employees both individually and as a group. Equally important to me during this time was my work as a volunteer helping children with special needs and/or learning disabilities (with Head Start and public schools) and completing nine credit hours towards a MA in Special Education with a 4.0 GPA. As a volunteer, I have enjoyed teaching children with learning disabilities. I believe I can make a difference as a tutor. For example, one day I overheard my son's Kindergarten teacher say she would have to hold b

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

I love children (re: four of my own) and thoroughly enjoy everything from tutoring them in subjects to building projects together with them in the workshop. I understand that every child is different and thus learns differently. I respect this and meet each child at their individual level which makes my easy-going style effective. Most of all, I endeavor to make learning fun! A child – or anybody for that matter – will toil if their job seems like work. However, if it’s made to be fun, then it becomes memorable and will stay with them for a lifetime. I believe that a solid foundation built with fundamentals is very important since everything else they learn in life will be built upon that foundation. Finally, I strive to be a positive role model to children because there can never be enough of those in their life. I have been tutoring my step-son in reading, writing and math for t

I give my students the benefit of the doubt. In the beginning and throughout the school year, I assume that my students are giving me their best. It may not be at grade level, and may be sloppy and hard to read but it's what they can do right now. Then, the hard work begins! My students are so proud when a few short months later, they can write a little neater and it's more legible. They can read those big hard words that stumped them just a little bit ago and understand a little more of what they are reading. I'm proud too, that they continue to give me their best! As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a teacher, especially a teacher of students who struggle to learn. I didn't begin school until I was 28 because I married my high school sweetheart and started a family. Once I started college at St. Mary of the Plains, I was completely enthralled with the curriculum, my teachers an
