Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in La Pine, OR

I like to build relationships with children. I use a great deal of humor and positive feedback. I work to build a child's self esteem and feel that is essential. I assess each student's academic level and plan accordingly. I assess each student's learning style and plan learning activities around that. I love to use creative experiences with children incorporating imagination and art! I like to make learning fun! I like to target specific skill areas that the child needs help with and celebrate with them when they overcome a learning obstacle! I like to encourage them to THINK!

As a substitute in the Woodburn School district I could pick up material quickly and teach in various teaching styles depending on the classroom.
