Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Longboat Key, FL

After attending (and teaching in) a graduate program in American/British Literature and Language at L.S.U., I realized that my true calling was teaching. I began teaching English, Journalism, S.A.T. Prep., Latin, and other subjects in Springfield, MA in 2003 in an alternative, urban high school. I taught (and tutored after school) until I moved to Florida in 2009, when my spouse began graduate studies at U.S.F. Since then, I have continued to tutor a wide range of students in subjects ranging from high school Latin, 5th grade Math, college English, S.A.T. and G.E.D. Preparation, and graduate level writing, and I have extensive training and experience with students who struggle with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and ESL issues, as well as with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). I believe that all students can and will achieve academ

I retired last year after teaching Learning Disabilities for 35 years at the high school level. I have taught most subject areas but specialized in math. I also tutored for the last 8 years in the Hospital Homebound Program working with 6th-12th graders in nearly all required subject areas after school. Last year I tutored eight students grades 3rd through 6th in math and english for a private tutoring company. My teaching style is reflected in my 35 years of teaching Learning Disabilities. Every student has a different learning style that they use in the educational setting. I use a variety of teaching approaches to find the most productive with the individual student. In all approaches the end result must be the understanding of the material and the ability to show competence. The majority of my teaching and tutoring experience has been with small groups or individually which is

My teaching experience includes over 20 years of teaching children with special needs. In addition I have taught grades K-6 students in the regular classroom. I have also have experience teaching middle school math/science and writing.I am a certified Wilson Reading teacher; a specialized reading system for students with reading difficulties. I was a reading researcher for Florida State University. Presently I am a tutor for the Literacy Council of Manatee County, working with adults. My teaching style is one of patience. I use a 'multi-sensory' approach; focusing on how the student learns. Some students learn from listening, seeing or looking; and others by touching objects. I like to use a variety of materials, books, videos, computers, dvds; puzzles, games; anything that will create that 'aha' learning moment. I like to create a positive learning environment; one that will allow the s

As a part of my personal teaching style I believe that I need to have multiple ways of teaching material since many students have different ways of learning. I believe that educators need to be professional in order for students to conduct themselves in a professional manner. In order to teach successfully, there needs to be involvement of students’ families. Students not only learn at school but also at home. Families should be aware of any concerns, problems, or especially if their child is excelling. I believe it is important to teach students how to evaluate themselves and even learn how to become internally motivated as well as independent. I have worked with students with different ability levels in many different settings. I received my BS from Canisius College in Childhood Education and Special Education grades 1-6. I am also currently completing my MS at Buffalo State College in

My experience in education has taken many paths. I began my teaching as an elementary school teacher. I thought third gradein a Catholic elementary school and began the first Kindergarten program at that school. Along my path I have also taught Social Studies and was in charge of the Library at an inner city school in Miami. There have been many turns in my teaching experience,but, the most satisfying teaching challenge is the one I have undertaken as a teacher for children with learning disabilities. I have been with a school called Dreams Are Free and we educate students who have a variety of learning disabilities. I consider my being able to teach my class a privilege and I learn from my students just as much as they learn from me. My teaching style would be based on the direct method of teaching. I like to show my students the way to the information or how to solve a problem and the

I possess a very eclectic and kinesthetic teaching style. I believe that children learn best when as many senses as possible are used in teaching them. When a child sees, hears, touches, smells, and sometimes tastes what they are learning, their brains are using multiple connections to hardwire whatever you are trying to teach them, therefore they will be more apt to remember than if taught by rote. I also believe that it's necessary to think about their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being while they are learning. Children need to move. They will not retain as much information if they are not given breaks in routine at least every 15 to 20 minutes. Their intellect needs to be stimulated, they will not retain information they believe to be irrelevant. Therefore, it is our job as educators to show them how they can apply what they learn to their everyday environm

As a graduate of Indiana University, I was driven to academic success as a Dean's List student in attaining a degree in Business Management. During my time at Indiana I tutored students in English, Social Studies, Math, and History. The students ranged from elementary to college level and my retention for these students from year to year was nearly 100%. Now that I am here in Florida I want to continue to tutor, mentor, and foster educational improvement. I love helping students succeed. I believe all students are capable of academic success. However, I have come to learn that learning styles differ greatly and to be an effective tutor it is imperative to analyze the student and find the most effective tutoring style that suits his or her learning style. My goal is to improve results through patience, hard-work, and confidence building. I believe a good educator can make a world of diffe
