Certified Special Education Teacher

I'm a certified special education teacher that has taught in MCPSS for over a year. I have worked with kids of all abilities and I would be thrilled to tutor your child and support them in the educational system. I have a library of resources to pull from while working with students. I truly understand about individualized tutoring services. When one technique is not working, then you search for another strategy. For kids with disabilities, you have to continually be thinking outside of the box.

A Little Bit About Me...

My style of teaching is more of a participant style. I enjoy when students contribute to class discussions. It brings joy to my heart when a child finds a task complicated and eventually succeeds. Many of the children that I have taught often call me. It is my belief, that as an educator I must be creative and see each child as an individual and not as a group. As an educator, I am responsible for not only teaching students but for coaching, mentoring, tutoring and inspiring young minds to achieve greatness.
I have taught both adults and youth. I was instrumental in assisting adults in obtaining their high school diploma and college degree. As a youth teacher, I was responsible for teaching students to read and as a result of their improving in this area; I was promoted to a teacher’s position. I have tutored students on an individual basis, and a result they were able to be prom ... read more

I love teaching and working with all students. My teaching style is based on the student's learning style and interests. I use visual, tactile and auditory instructional methods when presenting information and/or teaching skills and concepts. As we know students' learning differ in readiness for content, interests and how he/she learns,therefore it is my job to identify his/her needs. I believe all children are life long learners. I supply and deliver information in a manner in which the student comprehends and builds upon. I am a true believer in the following phrase "the more ways you teach, the more students you reach." I choose teaching as a life long career because this is how I can make a difference in children's lives.
I am currently an employee for the MCPSS. My current title is Intervention Teacher/Special Education Teacher at Semmes Elementary School. In this position I s ... read more

Educated, Experienced, Caring, Patient Tutor

In May of 2010, I graduated with my B.S. Degree in Psychology and Sociology from Louisiana State University. In December 2012, I graduated from Nicholls State University with my M.A. Degree in Psychological Counseling. I was a substitute teacher at Ascension of Our Lord School for one year and taught all grade levels. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I was the caregiver to an ADD/ADHD for one year. In addition, during my Master's Degree Internship, I provided counseling services to individuals, families, and groups of all ages, including special education children.
My teaching style is tailored to each individual student's personality, etc.

I believe a "hands-on" approach is the best way to retain knowledge given all learning styles. If we do it, we will remember it. If learning is considered fun, we want to do it and all subject areas can have an element of fun. Positive reinforcement within a structured environment is my style of classroom management and it works. If a student knows what is expected, knows the consequences, and knows it will be consistent every time, problems decerase.
Following the birth of my third child, I taught at her pre-school and caught the teaching "bug". I then completed a graduate program in Elementary Education, taught for one year in the public school system in Florida and then taught for one year in Alabama. I have the ability to help children struggling in reading to make great strides and as a result, gain the self-confidence to do well in school. I believe in a "hands-on" app ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Coming from a family of educators, I knew from an early age that I would become a teacher myself; therefore, all the steps taken to prepare for my professional life have been to enable me to be the best teacher I can be. I received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of South Alabama. I received classroom teaching experience at a local middle school and as a university instructor. I currently have an extremely rewarding position with the Mobile Housing Board developing, coordinating, and instructing GED preparation classes. With this program I teach GED concepts and both group and individually tutor numerous students. I take pride in the fact that 100% of the students I referred to the official GED test obtained their GED. Unfortunately, the grant I work under has expired, and I will now explore more opportunities in the world of education.

I began teaching with students who required a significant amount of intervention to succeed on their grade level. While I was in Atlanta I also worked with the after school tutoring program for at-risk students. After my year in Atlanta I returned home and began teaching Special Education in Mobile County, where I also worked with the county in an after school program tutoring students who required more intervention. I left Mobile county to move to Baldwin county where I taught for three years. As part of the Baldwin county system I went through the training to become an ARI and AMSTI teacher. Once I became an ARI and AMSTI trained teacher I then used the principles and techniques of the two initiatives in my own classroom.
It is my belief that all students are capable of obtaining the academic goals when they are given the necessary tools need to be successful. I believe that al ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am still developing a teaching style. However, I know from personal experience that constructing knowledge requires much more than reading a textbook. All learners have unique learning styles that influence learning success. A student’s favored learning style is a valuable resource for a tutor, allowing the student to discover more about the world and themselves while simultaneously developing a joy for learning. I use informal assessments to instruct my instruction, and assist students to monitor their own learning progress. My strongest teaching tools are good listening skills, patience and perseverance, and a desire to find each student’s academic and creative strengths.
I am a recent graduate of the University of South Alabama, College of Education. I returned to school to earn a teaching certificate in elementary education so that I might expand my career in environmen ... read more

My approach to assisting students in their educational development may be described as a constructivist. I believe that teaching should incorporate cooperative learning, hands-on experiences, teacher-to-student interaction, and a working knowledge of all content areas and their uses in our modern world. I am a firm believer that all children can learn and I understand that it is important for teachers to respond with the appropriate curricula, assessments and instructions. I believe it is important to build upon the strengths of each student regardless of their disability or diversity and to improve their academic skills.
I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students. This has allowed me an opportunity to assist students with disabilities achieve communication and self-help skills, as well as assist ESOL students learn to speak and understand English. I currently work with special ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with kids and have been doing it for many years. I believe all children can learn but not all children learn the same way. In my past expereience, I have found you often have to go outside the box to find what works and try many different methods. I feel very strongly about small group learning and think it is very effective when it is done in the right setting. I strive to be the best educator I can because I want that child to have strong foundation for the next chapter in their life.
For the past eight years I have been working in the Nashville, TN area. My first year there I worked as a site director for the YMCA before and afterschool program. After leaving the YMCA, I got a teaching job for the Metro Nashville public schools teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. While teaching, I enjoyed working with small groups of students that were below reading level. I taught for 7 ... read more

I recognize that every student has different needs when it comes to learning styles. I have the resources to help my evaluation in recognizing your child learning style. It is my goal to help your child achieve his/her greatest potential without causing undue stress in each lesson. Learning should be fun.
I have been a substitute teacher for the last 25 years in different areas of the country where I have moved. I home-schooled my 2 children for 12 years mostly when I lived in Alaska. My strongest area of teaching is in English, and taught high school English as a full-time temporary position for a teacher on pregnancy leave. I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration and am very well qualified to fulfill your tutoring needs.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe all children can obtain their goals, but not all children have the same goals. I believe that all children can be successful, that children are individuals and learn at different paces. I am patient and I encourage students to do their best. It is important to set small achievable goals that the students can be successful in. When they begin to see that they are making progress, they become more confident in themselves and in their academic abilities.
I hold a bachelor's degree in elementary education for K-6 grades. I have experience working with every grade level andI have previous experience as a Kindergarten teacher. I taught Kindergarten for 2 and half years. I feel that my strengths are with reading, phonics and phonemic awareness and with writing.

More About This Tutor...

As a Special Education teacher with over twenty years of experience, I have taught from preschool through the collegiate level. My specialty is working with students with learning disabilities. I particularly enjoy working with students who are having reading problems. I have tutored many students throughout the years and have primarily focused on reading, math, language arts, science and social studies in the elementary through middle grades.
My background is in Special Education, and I have worked with students with all types of disabilities. I realize that every child is unique and that some children require a different approach to instruction. I focus on each child's set of strengths and mold my teaching approach to fit those strengths in order to ensure success.
