My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have assisted in the classroom and one on one on field trips.

Repetitive reading that helps recognition and pronunciation, sounding out and following along with single reading. getting the group excited about the material we use by offering props. Encouraging group participation and support.And of course stickers and promotion. My idea is to have 5 to 10 children of close to the same age reading and practicing together, asking questions about the subject and imaging themselves in the stories they are reading. I like to have a prop from the stories and offer it to the reader as the others track and read along.
I have 4 years of elementary library aide experience, a small one on one group to help them to excel in reading, pinpointing areas of weakness and strengths, helping young readers succeed in comprehensive reading. I worked closely with our reading experts to test and evaluate the readers to mainstream them back into the classrooms of re ... read more

I have completed the credit equivalent to an AA. My focus area was human services and psychology. I will continue to toward my BA in the same fields. I have always excelled in most areas regarding reading and English. While in college all student were required to take tests that would direct them toward appropriate classes that would help them in several areas of study. The only class available above my ability in reading/English was a speed reading course

I have known since I was 5 years old that I wanted to teach and work with young children. I am most happy in a classroom atmosphere and believe children learn best through variety of techniques and mediums. My philosophy has and continues to be that all things are possible with a good education and that learning occurs best when given many types of hands on (Discovery) experiences and a positive learning environment. My goal is to have a positive impact on my students both educationally and in their self-confidence.
My experience ranges over a span of 22 years as a Preschool/Pre-K Teacher, Preschool Asst. Director, YMCA After School Site Director, After School Tutor, Elementary School Instructional Aide, Sign Language Interpreter, Special Ed. Tutor. I earned an AA degree in Liberal Studies, a certificate in Sign Language and earned a BA degree in Psychology.

More About This Tutor...

During my time in college, I switched to become an educator as I discovered a passion to see the lives of children transformed. During my process of gaining my BS in Physical Education, I worked with many after school programs and taught both elementary and high school during my student teaching. Since college, I have taught and worked with children and youth around the world and currently volunteer in my local community, heading up an after school program that focuses on tutoring K-8th grade.
My greatest strength lies with my patience with children and flexibility to see what style of learning enables the child to best master the subject. I desire to lead children in finding the answer which will not only teach them the subject they are learning, but will enable them to reason and find the answers in other classes as well. It is simple to teach a child to memorize but to teach ... read more

Teachers are the core of creating well-rounded educated future voting citizens in the United States. As a result, I believe it is the responsibility of every instructor to understand that the purpose behind educating every student is determined by proving equal access. In addition, instructors must acknowledge the responsibilities mandated by the profession such as meeting the needs of a diverse learning community. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to meet the needs mentioned above to my fullest potential in order to develop healthy, well-rounded future voting citizens.
As a California State University Fresno graduate, I am very committed and compasionate in helping students advance their literacy skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always had a heart for helping those who are in need of some extra help. Being a kid who struggled in school, I know what it's like to feel like to have low sell-esteem about school, having the feelings like I am not smart enough or good enough. As a future graduate at Fresno Pacific, I want to inspire kids to believe in themselves and to realize how gifted they actually are in the realm of school as well as what they have to offer to the world! For the past four years and three months I have worked as a 5th and 6th grade corrdinator at a Baptist church. Within that position, I put curriculum together as well as taught it.I also have spent some time assisting in the classroom at different schools.
I love kids. But more than that, I want to help kids who are in need of extra help and academic attention. I want to inspire as well encourage kids that they can do anyth ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It seems to me that everyone can learn, in different ways and at different times. My approach is to have several options of which approach will be successful. Being a 1:1 teacher allows me the freedom and time to work with a student on a concept in a number of ways until the cognition sets in for him. Being enthusiastic and excited about the learning experience is contagious. I always think about the teachers who were indifferent compared to the ones who were animated. I am definitely animated, excited, and enthusiastic. I believe in combining visual, tactile, and aural whenever possible.
My experience in the teaching field has been primarily as a substitute on a daily basis. I have some long-term sub assignments in my resume as well. For the past 7 years I have limited my assignments to "Home/Hospital". I meet 5 hours per week with each student to provide complete instruction ... read more

As a student and professional tutor, I have always believed education and enrichment are crucial to the advancement of the individual and society. Earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology has provided me with knowledge in cognition and development. Additionally, I have comprehensive knowledge in English and language arts due to writing a great deal of research reports throughout my college career. I have tutored high school students in a wide range of subjects including algebra and biology. Lastly, I have acquired six months experience in the in-home setting.
I derive a great sense of satisfaction from helping another person “get it”. I firmly believe all people are capable of achieving their full potential if provided with enrichment and a supportive environment. I tailor my tutoring to each unique learning style, and use the Socratic method of question and answer to help the stu ... read more
