I have been teaching special education for six years. I taught special education to kindergarten through third grade in a Montessori school for four years. I have experience in teaching students with disabilities in reading, writing, and math. Many of my students have also been diagnosed with ADHD/ADD, autism, learning disabilities, and emotional impairments. I am currently teaching my second year at a center-based school for autism. In my teaching career, I have used a variety of hands-on material and visuals. I am also a native German speaker. I grew up in Northern Germany and I am therefore familiar with the German culture as a child as well as an adult.

Tutoring available. Hello, my name is John Hett and I am passionate about teaching children and adults how to read. I am a "Highly Effective" Michigan certified teacher in the area of Learning Disabilities, Secondary English, and Secondary Social Studies. I prefer to work with students who are dyslexic or have a language processing problem. I currently teach high school English with a focus on writing. I have 22 years experience using the Orton-Gillingham Method. I use materials from the Wilson Reading System due to ease and cost. Parents must purchase these materials prior to instruction. I teach with 100% fluency in mind. My preferred time in after school two or three days per week. Teaching your child to read is a long commitment. The program can range from 18 to 24 months. This is not a tutoring class but rather reading instruction. My teaching style is very hands on. I employ a visu

I graduated from MSU in 2001 with a degree in Int'l Relations and Business. In 2007 I returned to school. During that time I took all the pre-reqs for the Accelerated Nursing program, earning a 4.0 in each. The classes included psych, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, bio and chem. I have been tutoring professionally for about 2 years now, but before that I worked with a lot of my friends and family. I struggled with ADD/ADHD while in school, and had to teach myself the skills to become a good student. Those skills include time mgmt, organization, prioritizing, etc. Over the last 2 years, I have worked with students of all ages. Subjects include Algebra, Geometry, ACT test prep, Chem, Psych, etc. I believe that many students do not know how to study, and are unsure of where to begin. This is especially true for students entering college, or high school, who never really had to stud

I am an essentialist in philosophy, meaning I want the student(s) to learn material that is relevant to their experiences and that they can find useful to their lives. I want to engage them in their learning so that they can use many different learning styles. I want to show them that learning is something they can do for the rest of their lives and that they benefit from their own hard work. Everyone can learn, as long as they have the desire to learn and are guided by someone willing to help them learn. Growing up in a family that did not value an education, I saw education as a way to make a better life for my self than gangs, drugs, and violence. I am the only one in my family to graduate from high school, then college. I firmly believe that education makes a person better by pursuing it. I achieved an Associates in Science, then two Bachelors of Science degrees. In addition,

My teaching style has defiantly evolved over the years working with a wide variety of students and learning styles. I have learned that each student is unique, and should not be underestimated simply because of a diagnosis or so called disability. I do my best to approach each student s learning style with an open mind and a wide range of possible strategies and tools. My goal as an educator is to ensure that a student reaches her or his potential and beyond. I strive to never underestimate a student or to stagger their intellectual growth by underestimating their potential. In 2007 I had the wonderful opportunity of being one of two teachers at the Ann Arbor Academy's lower school for students with learning disabilities. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant for three years where I did extensive tutoring with one student over the course of the year. I substitute taught for two years wh

As a special education teacher, I worked with students with learning and emotional disabilities, ADHD, autism, and cognitive impairments in grades K-12. I was responsible for modifying and presenting curriculum across all subject areas. I began tutoring as an undergraduate, providing assistance in psychology and writing courses, as well as teaching group classes and providing individual tutoring for SAT and GRE preparation. Over the past 7 years, I have worked with students as young as 3, providing early intervention for communication delays, and with students in K-12 and beyond. I have most recently tutored students in basic reading skills, middle school math, algebra, geometry, and HS level biology, English, and history, as well as provided test preparation tutoring for the SAT, ACT, and GRE. In the context of tutoring students in their current subjects, I have also assisted stude

As a teacher for the Washtenaw Intermediate School District, I had the privilege of working with students, age 3 to 21, who had significant cognitive impairments, and occasionally other disabilities such as autism and physically impairments. I retired in June after 32 years. My experience with students involved instruction in all areas of development, including functional academics, communication, social, community, employment, and daily living skills. I found each day of working with my students both challenging and rewarding. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to education; rather I feel that programs should be developed/adapted to meet the needs of each individual. Educators must fit the program to the child, not fit the child to the program. Whether or not a student has a disability, it seems to me that the goals are basically the same: to help our youth to develop t

I am currently a second grade teacher in the state of Florida. I have taught for 13 years and hold a valid teaching certification and an ESOL endorsement. Our family is moving to Wixom, Michigan where my husband is currently located for his business. I also homeschool my three children ages 13, 12 and 7. I am interested in part time tutoring. I teach to the child's learning style. I do not believe in trying to make a child fit to a boxed curriculum but instead making the curriculum fit the child's needs and abilities. I teach using hands on learning experiences and real life application. My students are allowed to use our learning environment as they best see fit in order to provide the best learning for them.

I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from a private, Catholic university. My time there taught me to be not only determined in what I do, but also ethical. During my college years, I spent a year tutoring students in English and Psychology courses. I am open to working with any level of student in English/Reading/Grammar/Literature and with high school and college level Psychology students. I believe that all children learn differently and that all children should be given a chance to learn in ways that suit them most. I believe in helping students achieve their personal best. I am dedicated to assisting students in achieving their academic goals and I try my hardest to be a good role model to every student I encounter.

I have worked in education at the community college level for several years. I worked as an English Tutor for four years at Washtenaw Community College before being asked to join the part-time teaching staff. My class load consisted mostly of Composition I and Technical Writing classes; occasionally I would substitute for Literature courses when needed. In addition to my educational experience, I also have corporate experience working as a Technical Writer/Documentation Specialist in companies such as: EDS, GM, and Consumer Energy. I can’t imagine myself not spending the rest of my life teaching. I have worked both in the educational field and the corporate world and without a doubt I know with whom my heart belongs. As a tutor at an Ann Arbor based institution I had the opportunity to work with a number of different backgrounds and styles of learning. I aided a varying degree of student

I recently have spent the last six months in the Head Start Program as a center teacher. We prepare them for kindergarten. I have taught all grade levels. I currently have a BA with a concentration in K-8 education. Due to online classes, I have written hundreds of research and essay papers using APA style although I have helped my son use MLA which I can write in effectively. Teaching mainly K-8 on a consistent schedule, I have learned that some students need one-on-one teaching. Being the third teacher in Head Start, I had time to work with individual students. All children were very well prepared for kindergarten. The older children, including High School and Middle School, I would walk around the room and aide them when they were confused. I also had them read the text orally taking turns and we would do the work sheet to prepare for quiz, test or new chapter. I am very patient w
