A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught for 5 years now and have taught middle school math, language arts and social studies. I have also concentrated in the area of special education in regards to my teaching experiences. I have taught at both the middle school and high school level. While I was working on my teaching certificated, I volunteered much of my time in elementary schools.
I am a very organized and methodical teacher. It is very important to me that the student masters the required content area before moving on to the next skill. I like to have a warm and open teaching environment.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : One of my sons has ADHD, so I understand the challenges

I have extensive experience in psychology, creative writing, grammar, speaker training, leadership, English and English literature, philosophy, theology and ADHD. I have trained people in areas relating to the central nervous system, psychology, sales, public speaking and group facilitation and several other areas of anatomy and physiology. I have worked with students from middle school through college in a variety of settings. I have school board and school leadership team experience, so I understand the challenges of the educational system.

More About This Tutor...

I am relaxed, calm, and patient when tutoring. I use graphical, verbal and/or written methods dependent on the skill set and approach that is best for each student. I believe that every student has an innate ability to learn. It is the tutor's job to find out the approach that will yield the best results with each individual student.
I graduated with my Master's in Chemical Engineering in 1985 and have used that experience and my life experience to excel at the tutoring that I have done over the last 15+ years. I have tutored all levels of mathematics, high school and college Chemistry and SAT/ACT preparation and study. My education has been invaluable to my ability to help students excel.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a MS in Varying Exceptionalities. I also have 18 hrs of ESL. Currently, I am working on 18 hrs of English. I have taught pre-school through adults. I have taught many different kinds of students. I have taught international students, ESL students, and native speakers of English. I have worked in pre-schools, public schools, private schools, language schools, and colleges. I have tutored many different kinds of students from foster children to adults.
Since I have a degree in special education and ESL, I have used many different methods of teaching. As a teacher I see myself as a facilitator. I want my students to be in charge of their learning, not me. I often ask a student “leading questions” instead of just giving them the answer. I also consider the audience when I am teaching. I ask myself...Are they familiar with our customs or not? Do they know our idioms or not?

After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies at a small private school in Tucson, AZ in 2001. I have worked with students at various levels in all subject areas both as a teacher and as a tutor.
I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Although I do not have a degree in Education, I have years of experience as a teaching assistant, teacher, tutor and curriculum designer. My experience mostly focuses on helping students improve their writing skills, but I also work with students with their reading comprehension since they go hand in hand. I have taught composition at the community college level which enables me to help students with papers at all levels from basic exposition to research methodology and citation format.
I enjoy working with young people and making an impact on their academic success. I don't know if I have a particular teaching style, but I believe that education is not a "one size fits all" proposition and good educators must adapt their style to fit the needs of their student which I strive for every time I meet a new student.

I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. Regardless of past reports that may indicate a child's personlized behavior program or low academic achievement, I believe that each and every student can succeed when given positive reinforcement and review of basic fundamental skills. Another important teaching tool I have used with the younger students is demonstrating procedures and transitions, so that time is not taken away from learning. I am creative in incorporating all learning styles into my planning.
Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree from A.S.U. In addition, I have worked in the field of education for over the last 12 years and I obtained an Elementary Montessori Teachers certification. My interest in working with children has lead me to working on a post-B.A. from Rio Salado. I still plan on obtaining a masters degree in ether Education or Psychology. In addition, over the years I have worked with many different types of children on a whole group setting all the way to one on one tutoring.
My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suit ... read more

My experience with Special Education has taught me that all children can learn and be successful in academic activities. Some children need explicit instruction and other children need to create their own meaning from academic information. I believe that children need to be invested and interested in the academic material in order to learn. I enjoy working with children and helping them become successful. All children can and want to learn, some simply need more individual attention than others.

Most of my professional career has involved working with Special Needs individuals: 3 years directing, teaching and training in a community skill center, and a thriftstore; 14 years as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor helping teenagers and adults obtain job training and/or schooling and job placement on a case by case basis; and then, the last 4 years as a special education teacher; the first year was as an elementary school substitute, and the last 3 was teaching Junior High English (written language) and Reading. I tutored my students after school and between classes on a regular basis and excelled in working one on one.
I believe in starting each session with an example or review which allows the student to connect the task at hand with their prior homework/knowledge/experiences/interests, etc. To do this it is imperative to conduct an interest and needs assessment (mostly in ... read more
