My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I have over 15 years of tutoring experience, over 5 years of Academic Teaching Experience, which includes being a Student Advocate and Para-Educator. I have a degree in Psychology, and one of my focus is Learning Disabilities, ADD/ADHD, and Behavioral Modification. While working as a Student Advocate I had to: Work with at-risk elementary children Motivate children to learn and improve their conditions Meet with students one-on-one-, in groups settings, and do classroom presentations on character building lessons. Behavioral management and discipline plans Keep track on truancy problems Conduct Suicide Prevention Groups. As a Para-Educator my tasks included: Help elementary students from 2nd grade to 6th grade in their writing and reading skills. Work with students who have moderate to severe disabilities (learning, physical, and mental disabilities). Teaching functional and academic skills. Work with students in small groups. Use appropriate techniques for student and classroom management. Direct small groups of students in various areas of academics.

Having parents that place a great emphasis in achieving higher education, I graduated from high school with the age of 15 years old and was accepted in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, for the degree in Life Science Biology. While studying in Taiwan,I offered individual tutoring in Spanish and English for college students and adults who wanted to improve their knowledge on the language. After two years of studying in Taiwan, I decided to expand my horizons in education and applied for Brigham Young University Hawaii for the major of Psychology.During the time I spent studying in Brigham Young University Hawaii, I worked for the Counseling Department as tutor for a variety of subjects from Foreign Languages (such as Chinese and Spanish) to General Education (such as Psychology, Biology, History, Art, etc). I also worked as an Academic Advisor’s Assistant, where I could help my ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Upon enrolling my children in school, I decided to be an active part of their education. So, I assisted their teachers with everything I could. Eventually, I became a trusted part of the school system (an honorary teacher, so to speak). They began giving me more responsibilities, concerning the children of the school. I tutored hundreds of students to increase their FCAT results, single-handedly; I corrected documents, daily; I worked on setting up the computers for the teachers and students, and I trained both to use them. I even learned magic, so that I could help teach the students their studies, in a fun and exciting way. Previously, I opened my own computer shop, and thus, I had a tremendous advantage of all sorts of software, and Internet knowledge, that would help educate the students. Since I had an ADHD student at home (my son,) I was quite active with the ESE program. I helped ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Immediately after I graduated with a double-major BA in Political Science and History, I began teaching and tutoring at a boarding school in the Northwest corner of Connecticut. I taught Early American history, in addition to an English course; I have tutored on a wide range of subjects from Algebra to Spanish, Earth Science to literature. I felt it was always important for my students to not only gain a solid understanding of the course material, but also increase their self-confidence. Tutoring was a wonderful medium to work with students on an individual basis to ensure that both their academic and personal needs were being met. In addition, it gave the students a great opportunity to increase their abilities to self-advocate.
In an evaluation after an observation of one of my history classes, a colleague of mine quoted that "it was evident from the beginning that the studen ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I implement strategies in my teaching that build upon prior learning and address cultural perspectives, whether they are in content areas, or relevant life experiences. According to Ladson-Billings (1994) this is a component of "culturally relevant teaching." In a multicultural context, incorporating students' knowledge is likely to entail addressing certain relationships within and outside the classroom. The teacher must transcend one's own ignorance and biases about forms of knowledge that are not accorded high status in the dominant culture. In addition, dealing openly with student questions about race and other topics, which some teachers are uncomfortable talking about.

More About This Tutor...

During my four years of undergraduate studies, I have spent three years tutoring in the subject area of English. While maintaining a full course load and working full time, I have managed to tutor over 107 students during this period. The majority of the material covered included essay writing at a college level, (scholarship essays, admissions essays, formation of a thesis paper, etc.). After graduating with a BA in English, I went on to pursue a career in teaching. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to teach at both a middle school and a high school level. This has given me the experience necessary to tutor a younger age group, and has helped me learn new ways to assist students in understanding the material. Currently as a 10th grade teacher, I volunteer both my lunch and planning period to tutor students for the FCAT, assist them with essay writing, grammar and usage, as ... read more

Each child learns in different ways, and as a Tudor/teacher it is my responsibility to discover the method of teaching that matches a child’s way of learning. I am patient, understanding and provide a constructive approach to learning. All children have the potential of learning; some simply require a different method and approach to grasp the information and it is my duty to provide such approach.
I'm currently attending American Military University, with less than a year to graduate with a bachelor degree in Public Health, which allows me to have a better understanding in health science related subjects.

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal is to not only show my students the ways to arrive at an answer, but encourage them to extend boundaries in reaching their highest potential. I help them realize their talents and traits which make them unique and special. These valuable lessons support their beliefs that they can achieve any goal both inside and outside of the classroom. I believe that all children are unique and special. As a teacher I want to help them find out what makes them the unique individual that they are.
