I use the Orton- Gilingham multi sensory approach.

I Have worked for the Davis County School district for 12 years. The last few years I have been working intervention for students who are not performing at grade level. I have learned that not all kids can learn the way they are taught in school. My 8 year old is dyslexic. I Have studied the Orton-Gilingham multisensory approach to reading and spelling. I have also learned to engage children in activities that are fun and creative. I will not be doing the same teaching style as there school.
ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts.

A Little Bit About Me...

For the last two years I have enjoyed working at the Brigham Young University -Hawaii Reading Writing Center as a tutor and center manager. My passion has been to help others learn and gain a better understanding of the world around them. At BYUH, my area of expertise was in English reading and writing, techniques, style, improvement, grammar and overall understanding of the English language. I have had over ten years of Spanish education and six years of French language studies, which have given me maximum grammar understanding and language proficiency. I also have experience in tutoring Spanish, Math up to Pre-Calc, French, mentoring in high school (Peers Encouraging Abstinent Kids PEAK, Freshman Connection, National Honors Society).
I am very passionate about seeing someone suddenly gain understanding about a specific concept. I strive to understand first the learning style of a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I recently finished a double-major in college and maintained a GPA of 3.75. I took many education courses throughout my college career in obtaining my degree in Childrens' Studies. I have helped tutor in biology, earth science, social studies, English, algebra, reading, and Spanish.
I absolutely love working with kids and teens. I believe that all children want to experience success, but each might define "success" a little bit differently. I am willing to take the time to find out what motivates each individual student and go the extra mile to help them. I am a firm believer in experiential education and try to relate what a student is learning in class to something they love, engaging and involving them in the process as much as possible. As a tutor, I do my best to make things fun while also making progress.

I enjoy the challenge of teaching, I love enriching the lives of both children and adults. My experience has taught me that each person learns in his own way. I am patient, understanding and willing to implement a varity of approaches to learning to find how your child learns to provide the best opportunity for academic success. It is my goal to open up the world for the student so that they not only understand the “how?” to learning but the "Why?" And the way learning a subject can enrich their lives regardless of their cultural background, nationality or belief system.
The bachelor degree that I earned in Business Management required a substantial academic effort on my part. Writing the essays, business evaluations and case studies was at times overwhelming to me but I was able to complete them in a satisfactory manner. The fact it was difficult helps me to project myself into th ... read more

I graduated from Hampshire College with a degree in Anthropology and Photography. These degrees required rigorous researching including an intensive semester of independent field study. My field study culminated in a 70 page thesis and correlated gallery exhibition. In addition, I have extensive experience composing and organizing shorter research papers on variety of subjects and laboratory reports. Over the past year I have worked as an environmental educator with the Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service introducing mixed audiences to a variety of topics related to geological processes and natural and cultural history. Previously, I have worked with elementary aged students as a tutor with the America Reads program to promote literacy.

More About This Tutor...

I have a Master of Arts degree in English from Utah State University and have taught EFL overseas and within the US. Recently (from 07-08), I worked as a Math Tutor for challenged fifth graders and also for Kindergarteners part-time at Lincoln Elementary in Layton while my son was in pre-school. I am competent in elementary math and sincerely enjoy helping others to find the inherent beauty of numbers and what they can do.
I love kids - they are often sweet, funny, easily impressed and are a great audience. I know that it is possible to make learning fun through a close, interactive relationship with a student - showing and guiding them through your own discovery of the subject. There have been times when I could feel one of my students learning; it is always a smile-provoking moment and I treasure every one.

I have been a photographer and receptionist for Bell Photography for 8 years now. And during this time spent at schools all along the Wasatch front, I am amazed at how many children have problems when they come to our lines. My formal education is High School. But I have done many other jobs including having our own business for 30 years, and the most important one.... being a Mother for 22 years. I now have my oldest two daughters out of High School and a son to graduate in May.
I know that there are so many children that are just plain scared. They see so many children that have more then they do, and they come from all different situations, and backgrounds, that I think they feel doomed. I see so many children that I think really dont even receive the love they need at home. I think they need to feel loved and have their self esteem built. To be given some one on one time instea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I want to help students question to find meaning in life. I want to help students learn which questions to ask so that their answers are founded in principle and not merely reactions against traditional authority or thought. The art of learning is a skilled art. The task of leading another to discovery is a weighty one. I take the time of my students seriously. I would not waste their time any more than I wish mine to be wasted. Passion drives my life and my teaching. I feel the literature. I feel language. I recognize the need to individualize the presentation to each student’s experiences and understandings if s/he is to discover the joy of learning.
As I finish a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership with an emphasis in training and development, I realize that I want to continue my formal educational while sharing my love of learning. My prior formal education includes ... read more

I was first introduced to accounting by owning my own business. Then I was hired by an engineering company to update their bookkeeping method from paper to computer. I became proficient in troubleshooting discrepancies and providing users with solutions. I interfaced with Federal and State taxing agencies, banks, and lending institutions requiring reports and/or payments. I then moved on to a Software Development company as a Product Manager of accounting software being developed for internet use by accountants. I trained and answered questions, wrote newsletters, prepared marketing materials and taught at seminars. I became a mentor and troubleshooter for the software users.

I enjoy teaching children, working with them to find their talents, and strengths. All children have the ability to learn, each child learns differently so it is important to find out each child's learning style so that learning is made easier for them.

I believe that all children can be successful in their education, and I love being part of that success.

I also feel that children and educators are crucial in the development of families and society. I am passionate about bettering the lives of children everywhere. I would love to assist a child on a one-on-one basis, being a tutor/mentor.
Ever since I was introduced to American Sign Language (ASL), I have been deeply fascinated in the language and its speakers. A year after my initial experience with ASL, I decided to create my own Bachelor's Degree at the University of Utah. I was able to design curriculum pertaining to my desired field of interest. The classes I took were mostly education related. I had several classes in education psychology, multi-cultural education, diversity and culture. My major emp ... read more
