Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have worked as a special education teacher and a special education school psychologist. I am very familiar with the evaluation process and the IEP process.

I am very aware of the necessity of adapting my teaching style to the learning modality of those I am working with. As an educator I evaluated students to define how they best process information. They may be auditory learners, visual learners or they may use a combination approaches. I am very patient and understand that everyone can learn. I believe in setting goals and evaluating progress to establish new goals when necessary.
I have taught in Michigan and in California. I also have credentials as a school counselor and psychologist. I have experience with all aspects of the special education system from the K through grade 12 level. This incudes testing, placement and re-evaluation and the IEP process. I also have worked at the post secondary level and am familiar with academic and financial aide requirements.

I truly believe that children are the future and I teach and treat them according to that. Teaching with Understanding is the primary goal that I have. Through my own experience I have learned that every child learns and understands differently and it is my job to teach them accordingly. I am always looking for new, inventive and effective ways of teaching. I have great patience, and a good listener; which I personally feel is important when teaching a child, I feel by listening to a child a teacher can discover the child’s uniqueness and apply their teaching to that. I am very devoted to what I do and would provide my all to your students.
Education has been my passion and dream for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I followed my dream and graduated from Cal State California with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies and a concentration in History. Due to my education I am e ... read more

As a graduate in the field of Education, I have found my true passion in helping students reach their goals and achieve success. I have been working with children in different capacities from the preschool environment to the K-12 level, including working with students with developmental disabilities. Last school year I worked tutoring students who produced low test scores in order to help them raise their achievement test scores. I really enjoyed watching the students raise their comprehension skills in various areas such as; math, language arts, reading, phonics, etc. I believe my extensive background working with the youth of today would make me a great candidate to join your company!
Through my experiences working with children, I have learned to adapt my teaching styles to fit each students' individual needs. Many students learn through visual and tactile means, where as o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

It is important for me to determine what motivates each student to learn, what their interests are and what is important to them. I wanted the student to see how each lesson was valuable to their future success. I always got my students involved in the classroom with open discussions. Each week my students gave a five minute presentation on a subject of their choise, building their self confidence along with their reading, writing and speaking skills.
After twenty years in the financial area I went back to school to obtain a special education credential and found a passion for teaching. While in school I worked as a teacher's aide at Seaside High School, and taught 5th grade summer school for two years. After completing my education course work I received a contract with Monterey Peninsula Unified School District and taught at Los Arboles Middle School. My middle school stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Merchant Marine and Chief Steward I have taught, tutored, or mentor kids of all ages and backgrounds. My passion when teaching is to try and breakdown the subject to it's most basic level. A level that the person being taught can understand. Having work with kids from different ethnic and educational backgrounds I find this to be very affective and productive. Also, not having been a great student in high school with dyslexia, I have been able to over come these short comings and graduate from collage with honors.
Find out what level the student is at, what their interest are, what the like about learning or hate about learning and go from their. As each person is different and each person learns in their own way. Learning is not hard, finding out how to learn is.

A Little Bit About Me...

For as long as I can remember I have desired to become a teacher. I didn't pursue it initially because I was lured to careers which netted a greater return on my investment, I thought. I later returned to school and continue education eagerly. I am very much able to connect to students with various backgrounds, abilities and challenges. I have developed a style that not only includes direct instruction but hands-on, inquiry based learning that fosters retention and is delivered in a positive, upbeat, fun environment. I love children and working with them comes very natural for me. I was born to teach and it is manifested by the two-way love and respect shown as well as the progress made by my students.
Prior to teaching, I worked as a human resources professional and have learned all phases of human resources with a specialty for recruitment. I have taken the tenets of huma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe children learn when you meet them at their own level, whatever that may be. Once you discover what the student knows, you can take the next step by building on that knowledge. I believe in small, successful steps. Once a student grasps a concept, it is evident in their face. I believe in leaving a student's learning session on a positive note.
I have worked for over 30 years in the field of teaching, both elementary students and special education students of all ages. I earned my BS in Child Development/Special Education from the Universisty of La Verne, CA. I have been a Substitute Teacher in the San Bernardino City Unified School District for nine and one-half years. I feel my greatest skill is in breaking down subject matter into smaller components until understanding occurs.
