Presently, I enjoy being a substitute teacher in my local school district, Avon Lake City Schools and other districts near Avon Lake. The different teaching experiences I have continued to enhance my ability to relate and understand individuals with a learning differences. I have always been very dedicated to all my students and customize homework to strengthen their knowledge that creates a positive attitude for their involvement with learning. I have created tactile materials created specifically for students. Students learn in a positive learning environment. Everyone is unique thus everyone has unique learning styles. I focus on the positives each student has achieved and then, together the student and I strengthen the areas that need improvements. For example, there has been a recent emphasis on time test fo

I have been a special education teacher for most of my teaching career specializing in dyslexia. I am a trained, certified dyslexia specialist and have been working with students with dyslexia for 8 years. I feel that the program that I use is very beneficial because it is a multisensory approach to teaching students to read. I also teach study skills so that my students become successful in school. I have been in Education for 19 years, but have been a teacher much longer than that! I have been involved in teaching somehow since I was a young girl, working as a Sunday School teacher or as a teacher for Vacation Bible School, as a camp counselor for the YMCA Daycare program and as a tutor while in college. I have been a certified teacher for 19 years, spending most of those years in Special Education. I started my career as a substitute teacher in Northeast Ohio, moved to Texas to

My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maximize their potential as successful, competent learners. I have had 12 years teaching experience at the high school and college levels. This experience has included individual tutoring as well as classroom teaching. Through training experiences in School Psychology, I have had much experience in counseling and tutoring students who have learning disabilities. Currently, I teach at Cleveland State University in Psychology. Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject

I have a variety of experience. Most of my tutoring experience is with older students, aged 15 or older. However, I feel that I could work with younger kids as well. I love learning, and I get excited when a student fully grasps the material. I try and reinforce a teachers method of teaching. However, if repetition is not the issue, than I try and explain topics in different ways with lots of examples.I believe a tutor can really be a great supplement to the classroom teacher. I graduated from Hope College in three years with a BS in Biology, a BA in Chemistry, and a minor in Classical Studies. I tutored throughout high school and college. I have tutored Latin (both into and upper level courses), Math (high school), history (high school,) Mythology (college), Biology (both intro and upper level courses), and Chemistry (both intro and upper level courses). In college, I was also a TA for

As a graduate of Kent State University's Bachelor Of Arts program, I have acquired many skills. I have experience in tutoring students in the arts as well as sciences and math for more than 10 years. I pride myself on my teaching ability. I think teaching is an art in itself. I have worked with a diverse group of students. As a teacher, I realize every person is different. I like to work on learning the personality of the student. With a strong background in philosophy and psychology, I can make it a priority to ensure that a child receives a sense of accomplishment and gain self esteem in his or her work.

I prefer to teach by utilizing real-life situations that are pertinent to the subject matter. In my opinion, when you are able to bring the subject matter to life by making it relevant to the students you are teaching, there is a greater chance that the student will not only understand the information, but remember it long after they leave the classroom. As a classroom aid, I was responsible for implementing the curriculum developed by the teacher. I also had the opportunity to work one-on-one with students who needed additional assistance. As an assistant teacher, my duties included but were not limited to curriculum development, facilitating parent teacher conferences, and accurate record keeping of the student's progress. To date, I have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology and two minors in sociology and justice studies. I also have a Masters degree in Pub

Striving to make the student feel comfortable is part of my basic repertoire of teaching strategies. I know that when a student does not succeed in a typical classroom environment it is easy for the student to feel negative about learning. Our society is based on the 'cookie cutter' ideology one size fits all. So when I tutor I strive for the student to feel comfortable first. Then I observe the students way of learning and I tailor my style to fit the student. Each student has one to two modalities that they excel in when learning something new - my job is to discover which modalities best serves the student's style of learning. Tutoring students is a big part of teaching. I have always tutored students in my classes and anyone who has asked for my help. I have tutored students on their writing, reading and basic math skills. Being a Special Education teacher has afforded me man

I have been a teacher in Cleveland for the past 18 years. I have taught children ages 5 to 12 with a wide variety of abilities, interests, and personalities. Working with these children, their parents, and therapists has given me a wealth of experience and ideas. One of the best part of being a special education teacher is the flexiblity. With the child's parent, I can decide on the most pertinent goals that will lead this child to succeed in school and beyond. I am also able to teach in a manner that best suits each child, his interests, and abilities. I want students to share my philosophy that learning takes effort but it can be enjoyable with the right attitude.

I feel my style of teaching is one of being a facilitator. I choose to interact with the student by asking questions so enabling them to reach the answer through their own thinking processes. The excitement of seeing their confidence build as they realize they can figure out problems independently is the reward of being an educator. I believe my job is to guide and support the student. My teaching experience started teaching in a pre-school with 4 year olds. I then taught 3rd grade for 1 year and kindergarten for 9 years. When I updated my certificate (just in the last year) I did some teaching in a mildly handicapped resource room.
