I utilize strategies that help reach all learning styles.

I have over 8 years of experience in the classroom working with students K-12 in various course subjects. I have taught in an elementary classroom setting, grades 3, 5, and 6. Currently, I work with students individually to grasp material presented in their classes as well help to ensure that all assignments are being completed and understood. Throughout those years, I have specialized in working with students who struggle with learning, presenting content in alternative ways along with using their strengths in order to grow academically.

Reading and Phonics Specialist

I specialize in teaching dyslexic students how to read. I have my BA in English from UC Berkeley and my MA in Teaching Reading and Writing. I have been teaching systematic reading and phonics instruction since 2009, and am very passionate about teaching reading skills. I am experienced in all the major well-researched reading methodologies. With the program I use, I have watched students jump two grade levels in reading within 6 months of instruction. I teach students skills to decode words using phonics, along with the most common sight words in the English language. To improve fluency and reading comprehension, I incorporate texts that are both engaging and challenging for students into the lessons. I also teach students who struggle with spelling, helping them master the most common sound patterns, sight words and sight syllables to greatly improve their spelling. I love what I do ... read more

My comments on tutoring Special Education : I am currently a special education teacher in the Capistrano Unified School District. I have worked as a special ed. teacher for the past 7 years at the 4/5 grade level and this year at the k-2 level. Prior to that I was an istructional assistant in special education schools for 4 years. I have worked with students with the following qualifying conditions: autism, specific learning disabilities, speech and language imapairments, OHI ( other health impairments) ADD, hearing impaired,cognitive impairments, and emotiona disturbances. My first goal is to develop a trusting relationship with my student/students, find out what internal framework they possess, and identify motivational triggers. I am a Howard Gardner proponent, the developer of the multiple intelligences theory. He states, "The quesion is not if the student is smart but how are they smart." I believe in a whole child approach. Children are not just vessels we are able to pour information into. They are unique and dynamic beings that are affected by their emotions,genetics, and prior experiences. I seek to help them develop the skills that will give them a life of the greatest choice.

Instructional Assistant for the Institute of Effective Education 2000-2003 (behaviorist model)serving emotionally disturbed adolescents Instructional Assistant for Discovery Hills Day Treatment Center 2003-2005 school based program working in tandem with counseling facility. Special Education Teacher, elementary level, in self-contained classroom serving mild to moderate 2006-present.
My teaching approach is eclectic as every child is a different child. One approach does not work for everyone and generally speaking I use a combination of instructional philosophies. No matter what technique, strategy or approach I use, the foundation of my instruction always starts with building a trusting relationship with the child built on caring and respect.

Special Education is one of my top subjects!

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.
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 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...

Personally, I prefer hands on - lab style workshops - than endless lecturing and note taking. I like to grasp the student's maturity level and aptitude and go from there. All students need individualized attention, but it is also important to have team building skills inherent in the coursework so they learn to both help themselves and others. The first thing is to teach the love of learning, the second is 'how to learn,' and the third thing is the motivation to develop mastery. Most students do not learn how to study, learn how to learn, and if their parents are not educated, they usually never learn these skills.
Straight out of college, I began substitute teaching and then tutoring individuals. I specialized in English, reading skills, history, psychology, and counseling. Now, I'm a computer tutor, a technical writer on contract, and gone through countless hours on training for ... read more

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

I enjoy working with students off all ages. My teaching approach revolves around using hands on manipulatives, student interests, and lots of patience.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.
