First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the past 15 years. I taught American History, Geography, World History, Government, English, Reading, Reading Intervention and Wilson Reading. I retired this past June and moved from Connecticut to Asheville. My style of

Reading intervention at Cherubino Health Center is effective and fun Every lesson is tailored specifically for each of my students to be exactly what he or she needs to succeed. Our individualized lessons are explicit, sequential, cognitive, cumulative, phonics-based, multisensory and emotionally sound. Each lesson is paced to hold the student's interest, reinforce previous skills, introduce new skills in explicit, small steps, build on strengths, and is completely positive. Reading is taught with a minimum of the “exceptions to the rules” that plague so many struggling readers. Students learn that English makes a lot more sense than most people know because it is based on predictable syllabic, spelling, Anglo-Saxon, Greek and Latin patterns. Mastery of reading is achieved because we stay with each new concept until it is assimilated accurately, fluently and permanently as we continua

Wilson Reading Program - Level I Certified Hello parents and potential students. My name is Wendy. I am a Certified Wilson Reading Program Instructor and mom of two wonderful elementary aged students. I began my journey into the Wilson Program with a desire and dedication to help my oldest child, who is dyslexic, with his academic struggles, specifically with reading and spelling. Fascinated by the process (a very systematic and specifically structured program) and excited by my son's progress, I decided to work toward becoming Wilson Certified and tutoring other children who need help with reading. I believe that all children can learn to read and with patience, practice, and even some fun I can help them reach their full potential. The progressive successes they will achieve with this program will build their self-confidence and self-esteem; I look forward to watching that happen f

I am a strategic based teacher that enhances my students learning through finding their own particular learning style. Each student has and individualized learning approach to their studies. Once they find what works for them, they will succeed. It is my job as an educator to help them find that out. I like to use a multi modality approach so that students learn all different types of learning styles, this way they may pick and choose certain styles that work for them. For example, If the students are writing about a short story they have read, to help them get their thoughts on to paper, I would assist them with graphic organizers to prompt them to list of jot down vocabulary words or important people places or things in the story however, in a manner that helps them to do this with a proper beginning, middle and end. All of this is visually designed on the graphic organizer to help the

As a dyslexic student myself, I have intimate knowledge of the possible difficulties with learning a new language. During the last two years of my undergraduate career I worked as an Arabic and Economics tutor in the Academic Resource Center at Tufts University. With respect to Arabic, I worked with Beginner and Intermediate level students - extensively using Al-Kitaab. Being dyslexic, I have an intimate knowledge of the difficulties that dyslexic students face when learning a new language, especially with an abjad like Arabic. I also have considerable "teaching" experience due to my time working as a personal trainer. As a student, I understand the importance of a good teacher. I always try and help the student find and correct their own mistakes, rather than merely giving them the corrections. I have found that the listening is one of the most important tools that a tutor has at their
