My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have my authorization in autism.

As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.
I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

Reading and Phonics Specialist

I specialize in teaching dyslexic students how to read. I have my BA in English from UC Berkeley and my MA in Teaching Reading and Writing. I have been teaching systematic reading and phonics instruction since 2009, and am very passionate about teaching reading skills. I am experienced in all the major well-researched reading methodologies. With the program I use, I have watched students jump two grade levels in reading within 6 months of instruction. I teach students skills to decode words using phonics, along with the most common sight words in the English language. To improve fluency and reading comprehension, I incorporate texts that are both engaging and challenging for students into the lessons. I also teach students who struggle with spelling, helping them master the most common sound patterns, sight words and sight syllables to greatly improve their spelling. I love what I do ... read more

Classified Teacher's Aide

I try to provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere by getting to know each student as much as possible. I often find students need to be able to incorporate personal likes and interests into learning.

I enjoy young people and helping them on their road to success. I have worked with all levels of special needs students and look forward to assisting in their learning experience.

Fun, high-quality, experienced tutoring

Before becoming a Speech Language Pathologist 7 years ago, , I worked with children with learning disabilities with another speech path, as a tutor, special education aide, liaison for children with learning disabilities in a private school helping to modify curriculum and at Lindamood-Bell. I have 20 years of experience with students with educational needs. Although I have focused on speech for the last few years, I love math and miss helping students learn to love it too.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.
I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make learning challenging and fun!
I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I alread ... read more

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

My work has been based on observation, close consultation with families, formalized testing, and experience. I enjoy both individual and group work. I am also very tuned in to families, as my own daughter has a severe/profound hearing loss from meningitis as a baby.
Helped establish and develop the practice area of Early Intervention. Most of my clinial experience has been in the school setting - grades pre-k through seven. I've worked online as well, with students located at school or in their homes.

My comments on tutoring Special Education : I am currently a special education teacher in the Capistrano Unified School District. I have worked as a special ed. teacher for the past 7 years at the 4/5 grade level and this year at the k-2 level. Prior to that I was an istructional assistant in special education schools for 4 years. I have worked with students with the following qualifying conditions: autism, specific learning disabilities, speech and language imapairments, OHI ( other health impairments) ADD, hearing impaired,cognitive impairments, and emotiona disturbances. My first goal is to develop a trusting relationship with my student/students, find out what internal framework they possess, and identify motivational triggers. I am a Howard Gardner proponent, the developer of the multiple intelligences theory. He states, "The quesion is not if the student is smart but how are they smart." I believe in a whole child approach. Children are not just vessels we are able to pour information into. They are unique and dynamic beings that are affected by their emotions,genetics, and prior experiences. I seek to help them develop the skills that will give them a life of the greatest choice.

My teaching approach is eclectic as every child is a different child. One approach does not work for everyone and generally speaking I use a combination of instructional philosophies. No matter what technique, strategy or approach I use, the foundation of my instruction always starts with building a trusting relationship with the child built on caring and respect.

I have been a straight-A student my entire life and I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a 4.0 GPA. I earned my B.S. in Physics (Astronomy emphasis) with a minor in Applied Mathematics. Though my expertise lies in mathematics and the sciences, I am also knowledgeable in topics ranging from history to English grammar and composition. Much of my academic success is due to my ability to prepare for exams. I scored a 32 on the ACT, as well as perfect scores of 800 on the SAT2 Writing and GRE Mathematics exams. I gained teaching-related experience during my year as an Instructional Assistant, in which I assisted students with math, science, English, and GED exam preparation. At the college level, I spent 2.5 years tutoring in physics, math, and astronomy, as well as a semester in a college-level general physics class working as a teaching assistant.

I am college graduate with a BA degree in English Literature and I have aspirations to be a Physicians Assistant, so my knowledge ranges from the English department to Biology and math. As a pre-Physicians Assistant, I have taken a series of science courses and have excelled in general Biology and can teach this information with clarity. I have a positive and proactive attitude that is key to motivate individuals to apply themselves. I have a strong understanding of the English language and how to write essays in MLA, APA formats. I can help your student expand their creativity and enjoy doing so while also posing critical questions for them that they can later apply to their own scholarly experiences.
I strongly believe that every individual has a different way of learning and understanding certain material. My goal as an instructor is to tap into what works for that person. I wil ... read more
