Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

excellent experience My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognit

I had a private practice in Santa Fe, NM for 30 years. I have specialized in teaching dyslexics, and I do have Special Education K-12 certification. My undergraduate degree major was in English, so I am well-equipped to teach Language Arts for a student of any age. I have pursued in a variety of reading instruction methods over the years and believe a multi-sensory approach along with phonetics is usually the best approach for most students. I taught a GED class for 5 years at a youth detention center. All who took the class passed! Collaboration with teachers, parents, students, and others involved with a student's academic needs is strongly encouraged. Information of this nature creates a supportive environment for a school-age student. I am a keen observer and "detective" in assessing at what level a student needs help. I would also like a well-rounded view of your child's academic n

My teaching style is hands-on with some lecture. I believe finding out what the interest of the student is matters and can be used to incorporate into a lesson plan. I feel students also gain more knowledge if the skills being taught are done through a thematic unit. I believe building independency is a necessary tool so that the learner can generlize and use the skills once I am gone. Organizers are another tool I feel helps the student learn and be able to use across subject areas. I have experience in teaching at all levels of the ages from running my own daycare center to teaching high school students the core curriculum. My major is in science as I started out as a Medical Technologist and then went back to school for Early Childhood/Elementary degree. I then got my endorsement for special education classes. Through the years I have done after school tutoring for math, science

I have taught reading and math at the elementary and secondary levels. Additionally, I have taught "Adolescent Reading Problems" at the university level. I bring a wide variety of life experiences and instructional strategies to the learning environment. I believe that students learn more when they are having fun. Yes, there is work to be done, but laughter makes everything go a lot better. Study strategies, memory skills and pnemonic devices can be mastered by everyone and used to enhance the learning process. I believe that the love of learning is contagious. My desire is for my students to become lifelong learners.
