Tutor for elementary kids with special education needs

Demonstrator/Personal Model Provides patience and allows them to go at their own pace
I have volunteered in the Clark Shawnee School System for past 3 years tutoring/mentoring kids with learning disabilities in reading skills. Last school year I was hired as a paid tutor in the school system tutoring a Chinese child (ESL student) in grammar/vocabulary/reading/spelling. This year I will be assisting with math as well. I retired 3 years ago from a State of Ohio agency who worked primarily with folks with both physical and mental health disabilities after 30 plus years of service. These included adults as well as transition youth. I worked there from the time I was 18 years old. I also volunteered for an agency from the time I was 13 years old with children who had brain injuries.

My comments on tutoring Reading : I love to read. I hold a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and I am about to complete my doctoral studies. This shows that I can read extremely well, and I can help you succeed.

Patience, repetition, mini quizzes, and following a plan, pretty much summarize my teaching style. I also like to make my students comfortable, by being understanding, encouraging them to ask questions, and being very willing go over material that I have covered. My goal is to help my students improve their grades, and while doing that, to also help them love to learn.
I teach exactly how I study. I discovered as an undergraduate student that a student has to have a plan of action when taking any course. You cannot just study without a plan and expect to score highly in a test. My teaching method has been tried and tested by me,so much so that I have consistently scored highly in most of my courses from undergraduate through graduate school and into the doctoral program. I will share my secret study methods with my students.

I have an associate degree in Digital Media and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design. I have recently graduated from my BS program from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a 3.44 GPA.

I am a hands on teacher and believe in using programs like Jing to share computer screens so that students can see exactly how or where something is and how to accomplish their end goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a parent concerned about the condition of the public school system we decided to homeschool our last two children. I began teaching them in the first grade and have continued up to, and including, the present time. My son is now a high school freshman and my daughter is in the eighth grade. During this time I helped start a homeschool cooperative. We wanted to continue homeschooling our children, but we also wanted to provide them with more choices taught by someone experienced, or having an expertise in an area. The parents, myself included, taught a wide variety of classes. I have taught english, history, reading, poetry, Bible, math, science, spanish, cooking, and music.
I love children and I love teaching children. I teach using a variety of methods. I have learned that children have different ways of learning. Some children are visual learners so I used plenty of v ... read more

I enjoy working with children of all ages. I have a son with a learning disability whom I am now home-schooling. I realize that patience is key when teaching. However, I also feel that children do best when they are presented with a challenge. I use a great deal of encouragement and incentive to help a child achieve his/her goals. I believe you are never too young or too old to learn something new.
I grew up in Texas and attended Abilene Christian University for four years. This also included two summers in Mexico. I lack only one semester completing my BA in Spanish. However, I chose to marry a Canadian and instead of finishing my degree, I moved to Canada. Over the years, I have periodically used my Spanish while travelling to places such as Honduras and Panama. Last year, I was offered a position as an in-class tutor/translator in our local school system for three Spanish-speaki ... read more

After receiving my M.A. in science education, I taught one year in a public high school. Since that time, I gained most of my teaching experience in the non-formal setting as Naturalist for a local nature center and Education Specialist for a conservation agency. I have been a classroom presenter for many age groups, spanning from primary school to college level. I am currently registered as substitute teacher, while also working as a freelance writer. Some of my other experiences include: · Science Editor for a textbook company · Official for Science Olympiad and Envirothon · Tutor at local community college
My job is not simply to impart information but to help students develop confidence in a learning style that is unique to that individual. I initially encourage students to describe their level of current understanding of the subject, then ask questions that connect sub ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with all children. We all have different learning styles and as a teacher, it is up to me to figure out the student's learning style and tailor the teaching to that student. I am a positive person. When it comes to teaching, I try to emulate my high school algebra teacher and make learning fun and interesting. Because of him, I fell in love with math and work advanced algebra problems and still work math problems just for fun after all these years.
I have a BA in pol sci from Wright State University with a minor in math. Since then, I have tutored at-risk students in various programs in San Diego. I attended National University and earned a teaching certificate. I worked in a junior college in San Diego as a tutor in math, English, reading, and social studies. I went on to work in the San Diego Unified School district as a teacher's aide and as a substitute teache ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a non-teaching BA degree in English. I spent all 4 college years working on my college newspaper, and two years after graduation working for a local newspaper. My job responsibilities included covering news and local functions, and then writing news and feature stores. I also helped proof read submitted articles for publication. I have always had above average skills in spelling and grammar. In addition, although I have no formal degree, I spent over 20 years teaching private piano lessons on a one-on-one basis. After school, I would go to each students house and work with them for approximately 30-45 minutes.
I have always enjoyed playing the piano. And I took extreme satisfaction from teaching piano. I would sit beside them while they played the pieces I had assigned to them to practice since the previous lesson. If they had problems or questions about something, I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored students individually at school, but a tutor needs to start somewhere or will never get experience. I have always helped fellow students with homework by explicitly explaining answers when they are asked or at least triggering their minds to what they need to learn. I am anxious to teach middle school aged kids as it will be a fun experience and I have always thought about teaching kids, because we all need to have the opportunity to an education.
I do not have a specific style of teaching for each student. Each student has their different way of learning. I would start out trying several ways, such as; visual, hearing, physical etc and see what the student is most comfortable with and which one is most likely to educate the child in a way that the student will remember the information while struggling the least.

My education includes a teaching certificate in education and a B.S. in business with a major in marketing and a minor in management. In addition, I am currently taking courses through Baker College to obtain an M.B.A. where I have maintained a 4.0 G.P.A. throughout the last year. My experience includes tutoring students in reading, writing and elementary education. I also have taught marketing and management workshops for employees.
I enjoy teaching and helping children realize their potential. Every child learns differently so it is important to determine which method works best for each child by providing material in a variety of ways. I am patient, enthusiastic and thoughtful. My goal is to ensure that each student is successful.

More About This Tutor...

I am very organized with any task that I take on and I am able to adapt to different settings, as each child is an individual and may not learn the same as the next. I genuinely care about the children I have worked with in the past and present. I believe that children have the potential to meet and exceed expectations that are set for them on an individual learning level. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages.
In the past, I have been a teacher/family service worker for preschool children, ages 3yrs to 5 yrs. I have the knowledge to create and implement age appropriate lesson plans. I have also assisted on achieving goals of Individualized Education Plans and documented required paperwork for each student in my classroom. I have held parent/teacher conferences and parent meetings, planned family day events, and attended trainings in the specific field of childhood ... read more
