More About This Tutor...

I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.
I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.

Dyslexia is one of my top subjects! I had dyslexia when i was younger it was tough and nobody even noticed until second grade. I received treatment and i was very fortunate that i was still young enough to have it reversed. I remember what it was like to have dyslexia and I know how to teach someone who has it.

Patience and kindness are a must. Also I'm careful not to push when someones not ready.
I'm not very old yet but i know a lot. I've babysat my younger cousins and have had experience with many animals. ( Fish, Cats, Rabbits,Dogs,and birds.)I'm free from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. weekdays and 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. weekends and summer vacation. I can tutor,babysit,and take care of animals.I know how to cook basic things so if your looking for a babysitting tutor and will be away your child will be in good hands. My strong suite is probably science and history. I can help almost anyone improve their test grades ( as long as they are trying ) I'm not the tutor for someone struggling in Math past elementary levels though because I don't think I'd be able to help anyone entering algebra. ( I find it too complicated to explain.)I'll make learning fun for your child and will definitely hav ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.
I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style would be classified as patient. I was diagnosed with a learning disability myself when I was in third grade, so I know how differently children learn. I was lucky enough to have patient resource teachers to work with and allow me to find my way of learning the material led by them, of course. So I think tutoring is extremely important for success of our children. I even received tutoring all the way up through high school and was grateful to my private tutor for, again, helping me to learn the material in a way that made sense to me and I strive to do the same for the children I teach.
During my years as a student, it was something I excelled at. I did not have to typically study for hours to achieve success in retaining material. I tend to remember things easily and be good with educating others on subject matter. I have been a substitute teacher and have mentore ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an Arizona State graduate, I have spent many years deeply focusing on English Literature. This has expanded my knowledge on the importance of in depth reading and writing. I have tutored both high school seniors and various levels of college students in English Literature and assisted them with their writings. I also have experience with creative writing and editing, during the time I spent as an intern for an online woman's magazine, Kalliope.
I am passionate about Literature and writing and am therefore knowledgeable on the subjects. I am able to assist students in these fields, however, I do believe in the importance of guiding them in the right direction verses providing them with the answer. I like to help the already existing ideas that students posses, bloom into their own creative masterpiece, instead of continuously proving them with the standard, drone ideas.

A Little Bit About Me...

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects.
I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek ... read more

As a graduate from one of the most prestigious schools in the world, I have the training and experience to motivate and improve a child's ability to learn. I have been a music teacher for four years, working with children of all ages; I am currently working with a special needs child to play the piano. In addition to music, I have written many essays and was encouraged to be an english teach by one of my professors at Cal-state Fullerton.
I am a very encouraging and positive teacher. Growing up with seven siblings, I have learned that patience is the best virtue and children need a stress-free enviroment. I love to use analogies and stories to motivate children to enjoy the sessions. I always felt that it was my mission not to be the "typical" tutor; I want children to look forward learning.

With my master's degree is in psychology, I understand the struggles that kids with learning issues face. I have recently done extensive research on how preschool and elementary school children learn to read. Their foundation can effect them in middle and high school. I have been teaching digital art classes for the last four years. In college, I tutored children and teens in reading, math and standardize testing. I am now assessing and teaching preschool and elementary school children techniques to master reading.
I love working with kids and teenagers. I connect easily with kids. I evaluate their learning style to see how they best assimilate and retain information. I utilize this to assist them reading, math, and other materials they are studying. Learning difficulties can easily be overcome by the right approach, which may involve a whole brain approach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a very natural, relaxed teaching style. I nurture self-esteem and success. I believe that children are naturally creative, inquisitive, and avid learners. When they are nurtured, taught, and loving cared for and educated by adults in their lives, they soar to their greatest heights with enriched self esteem and excelling in knowledge of new tasks/skills based on their ability. I have always said that children are like sponges, they will absorb what they are able to comprehend at the time and a teacher must build on their successes. I always look for their “abilities” and then expand on them.
