I love teaching and working with all children. I became a teacher because I know that it is sometimes hard for children to learn. All children learn in different ways and speeds. I am patient, and understanding. I will not give up on any child they are our future. I believe that all children can meet their potential if they are given the riht tools and education.

Jeanette S - Venice, FL 34292 (7.8 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $32.00/hr.
My strong commitment to my students, my belief that they can and will succeed, my depth of background knowledge and experience along with my broad-based skill set, strong rapport with students, and my love of teaching, promotes academic success. It has been such a joy over the years to watch struggling readers finally “crack the code” and learn to read. In my retirement years, I would love the opportunity to continue to make a real difference in a youngster’s life. Before retiring this past January, I had worked in the field of special education for over 33 years in Connecticut in both public and private schools. My experience ranges from self-contained special education classrooms to resource rooms. My primary training and area of expertise, however, is with Learning Disabled students with severe reading disabilities. I am trained in the Wilson Reading Program, Orton-Gillingham Pro

My career in education has spanned over 17 years and has included teaching in Special Education and regular education. I have a BS Degree in Special Education and a Masters Degree in Education. I have taught from preschool age to high school age in both Florida and New York. I am certified permanently in New York and held previous certification in Florida. I have also tutored in homes and in the public schools. I especially enjoy tutoring, as the environment and teacher-student ratio is much more conducive to student success. Because of my background in Special Education, I have learned to adapt curriculum to the individual levels and learning styles of my students. I have also learned that there are many creative ways to make learning more inviting for students. I have adapted many subjects to games and activities that students enjoy while learning.

Miriam F - Sarasota, FL 34241 (20.6 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Depending on the subject I use a highly academic and
focussed style of teaching. If it is communication like English, Writing and Journalism , I use a lot of teacher-generated materials. I am very flexible and would like to meet the needs of a particular student by administering some
kind of a skill inventory survey to identify his or her
style of learning. An inventory of his interests and skills
will also be a good tool for me to assess the student's
strengths. I taught public school in Florida from K-12 for the last 16 years. I taught for more than 10 years in the private school.
I am still teaching part-time at a private company. My passion
for teaching and the diverse subjects and levels of students that I have taught are two of my great assets that can be very
useful in the tutoring profession. I teach to help my student
reach his or her highest potential.

Melissa D - Sarasota, FL 34233 (21.2 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I possess a very eclectic and kinesthetic teaching style. I believe that children learn best when as many senses as possible are used in teaching them. When a child sees, hears, touches, smells, and sometimes tastes what they are learning, their brains are using multiple connections to hardwire whatever you are trying to teach them, therefore they will be more apt to remember than if taught by rote. I also believe that it's necessary to think about their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being while they are learning. Children need to move. They will not retain as much information if they are not given breaks in routine at least every 15 to 20 minutes. Their intellect needs to be stimulated, they will not retain information they believe to be irrelevant. Therefore, it is our job as educators to show them how they can apply what they learn to their everyday environm

Katherine L - Sarsota, FL 34232 (23.6 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $36.50/hr.
My teaching style would be based on the direct method of teaching. I like to show my students the way to the information or how to solve a problem and then have the student find their way to solving a problem. Working with these special students is very satisfying. Being able to watch them be successful and feel that they can is the greatest experience in the world. I believe that ALL children can learn. This is why the strategy of differentiated instruction is so crucial to a special needs child. I attempt to work based on the difficulty the student is having. I love to see my students succeed and feel like they are special. This makes all my efforts worthwhile. I would like to be able to extend my love and commitment of education. My experience in education has taken many paths. I began my teaching as an elementary school teacher. I thought third gradein a Catholic elementary school

Charles A - North Fort Myers, FL 33917 (23.8 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $42.00/hr.
It is very important to find out what skills sets a child needs to be reinforced. The activities the student engages in must be based on his strengths and weaknesses. I believe in working with the student to explain their thought process. I do this by asking questions and helping them realize how to attack a task. I find the student by verbalizing what they are thinking is able to progress at a faster rate. This helps the student self confidence and the way they feel about themselves. I am looking forward to sharing the skills which were developed over 30 years of teaching. My elementary classroom experience includes teaching grades 2,3,4,5 and 6. The successful experiences I had working with learning disabled students, unmotivated students, and gifted students brought me much satisfaction. One on my strengths is my ability to motivate and inspire students with different learning

michael k - bradenton, FL 34202 (26 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $32.00/hr.
As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now that I am here in Florida I want to continue to tutor, mentor, and foster educational improvement. I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of diffe

Laurie B - Cape Coral, FL 33990 (27.1 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $36.50/hr.
The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it.
Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment
