Fun, high-quality, experienced tutoring

Before becoming a Speech Language Pathologist 7 years ago, , I worked with children with learning disabilities with another speech path, as a tutor, special education aide, liaison for children with learning disabilities in a private school helping to modify curriculum and at Lindamood-Bell. I have 20 years of experience with students with educational needs. Although I have focused on speech for the last few years, I love math and miss helping students learn to love it too.
I like to make learning fun while working hard.

I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I already have many of the materials.
I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make ... read more

Helped establish and develop the practice area of Early Intervention. Most of my clinial experience has been in the school setting - grades pre-k through seven. I've worked online as well, with students located at school or in their homes. Individual and group lessons offered in the areas of language (receptive, expressive, pragmatic/social), fluency, articulation. I particularly enjoy working with children who have what was once called Asperger's Syndrome, children who have receptive/expressive language issues which hinder their learning, children with fluency problems. Often, as I no longer practice speech pathology, my work augments that of colleagues who do.
My work has been based on observation, close consultation with families, formalized testing, and experience. I enjoy both individual and group work. I am also very tuned in to families, as my own daughter has a severe ... read more

I make learning interesting.

As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.
I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.
I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.
I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.

I strongly believe that every individual has a different way of learning and understanding certain material. My goal as an instructor is to tap into what works for that person. I will pose questions and approaches to learning until I find the right method for your student. I love seeing the light bulb go off in a child's head when the material finally clicks and I strive for that moment in all my students. I am patient and have a way with words, illustrations, graphs, and analogies to make learning fun. I have had some spectacular teachers and through their inspiration I can help make your child's educational experience more enjoyable.
