Tutor for the summer

I am a speech therapist with 11 years and experience. I have worked with students pre-k through 12th grade, primarily pre-k through 5th grade. I have extensive experience working with students on reading comprehension, answering and asking questions, semantics of language (antonyms, synonyms, multiple meanings of words, attributes, categorization), syntax, grammar, phonics and much more! I have mainly worked with kids with disabilities, including autism, developmental delays, communication delays, speech and language impairment, and Down Syndrome. I have also worked with students on math skills. I am also very comfortable with tutoring in areas such as GED preparation, as I am good at math, reading, writing, science and history.
I use the iPad (excellent resource) books, worksheets and materials I make to fit the situation.

I believe that every student has potential awaiting discovery, and that reaching that potential is largely a matter of recognizing individual learning styles and providing appropriately matched environments. I am patient, encouraging, and motivational. I believe in the constructivist paradigm of learning, motivating the student to become actively involved in their own process, emphasizing the process, and acting as a facilitator who prompts, mediates, and encourages the student to speculate, discover, and identify their own milestones and manners in learning, creating a fluid, dynamic foundation for future education, not one set of information to be discarded when done.

A Little Bit About Me...

The reason I chose to go to school for my teaching certificate is that I've always been passionate about learning. I think the best teachers are excited to constantly learn new things. My teaching style is hands-on as often as possible. Students remember very little information taught to them in a lecture format. I try to use manipulatives such as blocks, especially when teaching a subject like math or science. I am very patient and flexible and I love to smile. I believe every child can succeed and I will never give up on a student, no matter how much they may struggle academically.

After I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, I was chosen by the Mayor of Bremerton to te ... read more

I love teaching children of all ages. I have a passion for teaching science and reading. My teaching style is one of multiple approaches. I take a visual, auditory and hands-on approach to a subject whenever possible. The more presentations of styles, the greater chance a student will have of fully understanding the content. I am a calm and patient teacher. I believe that all students can be successful. I like to teach the joy of learning as a life-long skill. For example, I show my students how science is everywhere in our daily lives. The art of observation allows students to appreciate the natural science and beauty in the world. Observation causes students to explore what they see and the content that they read.

I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.

More About This Tutor...

It is my experience that an instructor delivers more learning when a student has an interest in the subject. "Inspire rather than require," has far greater efficacy in delivering information. I tend to make it fun, interesting and encourage student participation and feedback. Reward, a basic human desire, engenders craving for learning. As each individual’s qualities are unique, I try to determine if one is a visual, auditory or tactile learner. Analogies often make good teaching aids. For example, if the subject were human circulatory systems, shining a light through a leaf reveals veins similar to our own and is more apt to draw the student into the subject. When appropriate, I ask the student to teach me.
In graduate school, I developed a management style, Egalitarian Leadership. The faculty encouraged me to submit my paper to Harvard Business School. Currently, I am writ ... read more

Teaching is about relationships, and the bonds that they build that provide trust. I believe that if a student doesn’t trust my intentions and know that I am working towards helping them in a truly genuine manner, they cannot benefit from my instruction. I am also an advocate of mutual respect. Some teachers may believe in authoritarian instruction, but I find it more important to show my respect for my students and then hope that it will be reciprocated. I want my students to learn, and they cannot learn unless they feel safe and appreciated by their instructor.
My first experience instructing young people took place while I was in college, coaching elementary girl’s basketball. This job, which turned out to be amazing and inspiring encouraged me to find a career that would incorporate helping others and furthering my own learning experience.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Social Worker I came in contact with young adults who have dropped out of school because of becoming young parents, drug use, and or a lack of support from parents. My initial contact was to address child abuse and or neglect but I quickly recognized the bigger picture included their inability to process information because of a lack of education. I started a parenting class to give them a safe place to start looking at these issues.
I teach so I can empower the individule to create a goal that can be attained. I have a stregth based approach, which gives the one I am teaching a positive outlook at what they can achieve. My focus is to empower the student to achieve their goals and to make the choice to further their education with enformed guidelines.
