Read More About Darlene D...

I am a retired school teacher that has been tutoring all elementary grade students, as well as intermediate students. I have a great deal of teaching in both teaching and tutoring. I feel very confident to teach all subjects in the elementary grade levels. I am a positive, sensitive teacher and I feel that all students can succeed if they are taught with the following in mind: the learning style/s of the student, the developmental level of the student, changing the motivational level of student (if necessary), an accurate evaluation of the student is analyzed, determine realistic goals and keep the student on task with an enjoyable environment that is conducive to learning.
My teaching style is usually a one-on-one approach beginning with material that is proven to be relatively easier for the student so that that we can establish an enjoyable,interactive approach. We will progr ... read more

My comments on tutoring Special Education : I excel at homework help, organization, time management, and support for students with ADD/ADHD and other learning or behavioral differences.

My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your student’s learning style and needs. I respond to learning challenges with flexibility, creativity, and positivity. To achieve best results, I engage your student in the learning process, break complex concepts into simpler parts, and target instruction to build specific skills.

My comments on tutoring Special Education : 5 years experience being a special education teacher. I am familiar with providing instruction in reading, writing, math, adaptive and social skills in a special education setting.

I have taught in the Mukilteo/Everett area for 5 years. I have worked as a special education teacher for students who spend most of their time in a general education classroom. My experience and background focuses on math, reading, writing/spelling, social/emotional, and behavior skills. During my years as a teacher I have worked to help develop and implement IEP (Individual Education Plans)
My teaching style is very student driven. I take students interest in account when helping them. The ultimate goal of education is teaching students to overcome their weakness and teach them to use tools, so they can love learning. My hope is that students learn to see their growth in order to be content with their education experiences.

I will work with the students and find where out where they are weakest. By doing so I will be able to give them the knowledge required to understand the material they are struggling with instead of teaching them how to solve the problem at that moment which will prevent them from struggling with mathematics their entire school career. I believe that with out understanding what is going on in the background the students will never fully understand what they are doing. Thus having worked with them to make their weak points their strong points they will gain the confidence needed to go into an exam and pass with a strong grade. I want to help the kids that others have given up on because I feel that it's these students that have the greatest potential to succeed if given the proper guidance in life.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style embraces an atmosphere of inclusion. It provides for active student engagement on a daily basis. Students communicated to me that I have been an inspiration to them: my mentoring has helped them believe in themselves and further their intellectual goals. And, on last quarter’s instructor evaluation forms, students reveal that "[I am] reliable, prepared, involved, accessible." My joy for teaching that I instantaneously display to students contributes to students’ growing interest in various cultures, issues of global magnitude and multiple perspectives; students’ desire to express their voice as global learners; and the enhancement of students’ civic engagement and social responsibility. My four years of college-level teaching experience reveals my genuineness and resourcefulness – something that my Winter 2006 teaching observation clearly entails: "I was consisten ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a very patient and kind person and those traits shine through when I am dealing with children. I believe all children deserve an education and that all can succeed. However, I do believe that not all learn at the same pace nor in the same manner. As a result, I am empathetic to each student's strengths and areas of weaknesses. I love to help and empower the individual. Teaching is a way to really make a difference in an individual's life as well as contributing to our society.

A Little Bit About Me...

While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and will be helpful to me in the future for teaching and tutoring.
What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of ... read more

Through out my academic career I have faced many challenges, and many times have had to turn to tutors and peers for help, as a result I am familiar with the dilemmas children can face. Through my experience with children, I believe that all children find success if the material is presented in a manner that suites them. As a result I believe in trying many different ways to share my knowledge, I can help a child succeed in academically. Because each child learns differently, and faces different challenges and strengths, I value patience and perseverance in my interactions with them. I work towards helping each child see their success and become better people.
