I have been an employee of the Solano County Office of Education working with Special needs students for the last ten years as a Para Educator.

Also, I have passed the CBEST and am interested in completing the English CSET to obtain a teaching degree in the future.

Tutored English to German students in Germany, and returned to America to "give back".

Looking forward to gaining my teaching credentials this Fall. In an effort to conjure mutual respect, I approach each student more like a peer rather than a teacher, although they know who is an charge. With my elementary students, I have been known to kick a soccer ball around with them or read them a book... schedule permitting. "Play time" is my pro bono contribu

Amy M. - Oakland, CA 94605 (30.7 mi) - Poetry Tutor - $90.00/hr.
I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel
