My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : While I have not had any students with Dyslexia, I have recently read The Gift of Dyslexia and feel I have an understanding of what students experience. I am willing to work on strategies to help the student at home and in school.

I like to see where the student is and meet him there. Look at what needs to be taught and discover the best way to impart that learning to the individual child.
I have taught K for 13 years. I understand the value of one on one time, and that students are all different. Recently I spent 10 months teaching missionary children in Uganda. There I taught 4th, 5th, and 7th graders. Students in my class have had vision issues, autism, aspergers, and ADD/ADHD. With each situation, I have evaluated where the student was and revamped how I was teaching to meet their needs.

I was an English teacher in China, and I am fluent in both English and Chinese. I can help tutor people who are dyslexic and people with learning disorders. I can teach basic math, typing, as well as reading and writing English. As my mother could not speak English well, I've had lots of experience helping her with reading, writing, typing, as well as how to use a computer. I have a B.A. and can work with people who are preparing for their GED or ASVAB.

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : Lindamood-Bell, Wilson, Orton Gillingham

I employ specialized methods of instruction. When working with the learning disabled, I take the time to diagnose their processeing abilities and learning style. My interventions are targeted and I am able to teach my students to use their strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses. When working with students who are on the autism spectrum I take the time to incorporate their interests when introducing new concepts to them. I am well versed in TEACCH and ABA for autism.
I am an educational consultant in Cannon County, Tennessee. Over the years I have developed programs and curriculums for several schools and school districts. My specializations are teaching students with dyslexia/learning disabilities and students with autism spectrum disorders. I recently received an Educational Specialist degree from MTSU and I will be completing their Doctorate program in Literacy Studies ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Based on previous experience I have discovered that the same teaching style does not work for every child. I find that explaining each topic and asking the child question gives a clear indication of their understanding. Based on responses to the questions adjustments may be made to address each child's need.
As the daughter of educators, I have been exposed to the education system all my life. As a result of this exposure, I became very interested in tutoring and teaching. I taught for two years as a substitute teacher before attending law school. I previously worked as a substitute teacher with Morrow Elementary in North Lauderdale, Florida where I taught test-taking strategies for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Most recently, I have volunteered with Youth Encouragement services as a tutor.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a special education teacher, I have tremendous patience and have seen tremendous progress, measured both in small steps and in giant leaps. I am a strong believer in individualized education, and subscribe to the theory that each child can achieve greatness. My goal is to influence each student with humor, hands-on activities and first-hand applicable experience. It is also important that as a tutor, I use audio-visual materials to strike every learning chord. I also strongly believe that students learn best through a mix of guided and independent practice, and a positive and stress-free learning environment. All students have the capability to achieve, and can reach their ultimate goals of success when confronted with real-world applicable opportunities as well as with rote practice. I am passionate about teaching and will exude an air of exuberance to make a difference in each ... read more

I love teaching, and I have experience working with varied age levels and learning levels. As a private tutor, I have also worked with many students who have varying learning disabilities, and I have used my knowledge to help develop techniques that help them learn too. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to express complex information to diverse groups of people in an understandable way. Everyone thinks a little differently and learns differently too. I practice patience and enthusiasm with my students. I work independently with my students to find out what type of learner they are. I create a friendly rapore with my students and use constructive criticism. Teaching through theory doesn't work with every student, so I often find ways to incorporate my students' interests into their learning. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to make my students laugh and en ... read more

Teaching has always come naturally to me. As a young teenager, I began helping younger siblings and neighborhood kids with their homework. As a mental health professional on an Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, I discovered that educating patients was far more empowering than implementing conventional Rogerian counseling techniques. In 1998 I began designing/facilitating classes on impulse control, assertiveness, and anger management. Ever since I have been teaching in alternative settings.
I firmly believe that teaching is about making meaningful connections that empower others. Therefore, I always try to first establish a comfortable rapport that is conducive to open communication. I then will determine the student's strengths/weaknesses and areas of highest interest. This allows me to develop individualized lessons that will be highly engaging and most effective at meeting the ... read more

My experience working with children and adults with Communication Disorders/Cognitive Deficits has provided me with an understanding and experience to assist others in many areas. I have an MS in Communication Disorders. This includes learning disabilities that involve language comprehension and expression, and problem solving deficits. I have also worked extensively with children and adults who have vocabulary deficits as a result of learning/language disabilities. My background and training has also equipped me to assist individuals who are not native English speakers in the areas of reading, writing, vocabulary, and accent reduction.
I enjoy working with children and adults. My teaching style is tailored to the individual, as individuals learn differently and at various paces. I am very patient, and flexible. I believe that structure is necessary, without sacrificing creati ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children, waiting for the "ah ha" moment to arrive. When it does, there is nothing, like it. I believe strongly in the saying "there are no bad students, only bad teachers". I believe that every student is capable of learning, the trick is to find a way that makes it real and applicable to each individual student. I believe that the keys to success are student motivation, the tutor's flexibility and lots of patience. Show them, let them touch it, model it, read it, break it down into smaller manageable pieces, make it fun,...whatever it takes to increase their desire to learn. While the focus is to achieve academic success that does not exclude making it fun to learn.
Over the past ten years, I have worked for four school districts providing after-school tutoring to students with a learning disability. I have worked with all subject matters from preschool t ... read more
