Structured yet creative Reading Specialist.

I received my bachelor degree in elementary education. After having my two daughters, I went to graduate school and achieved a masters degree as a Reading Specialist. I was a graduate assistant and taught in a learning center for two years while earning my masters degree. Upon graduation I was an adjunct professor at C.W. Post, taught reading at a private school, a public school and then worked full time managing the reading department In an elementary school for eighteen years. During that time I had the opportunity to teach a support before school program, summer literacy as the lead teacher, creating my curriculum and a Saturday Academy in the middle school teaching study skills and test prep.
My teaching style is very structured due to my training, however, I can be extremely creative and motivating with the most challenging students!

ADD/ADHD is one of my top subjects! Have worked with a few students who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as well as have my own experience in dealing with it myself and succeeding. Understanding this learning disorder, gives me great insight into the inner workings of the minds of these children. This knowledge allows me to teach them skills which will enable them to overcome some of the obstacles they will face during their academic career. I will teach them study skills, organization, and ways to remain focused. Everyone has a way to occupy his/her need to wonder by finding something physical to do alongside listening to the lesson at hand. I find keeping my hands busy by doodling fulfill my need to do something physical while still allowing me to focus on what the teacher is saying and take notes etc...

The first strategy that I use is building a relationship with the student by getting to know who they are, what there favorite things are, subjects, goals etc... This helps me discover what strategies I can use to help them learn. I also try to discover which learning method works best. Are they visual or auditory learner? Do they learn by having things taught step by step, or do they learn through visual or read aloud examples? I believe that every student has the ability to learn and to succeed; it is about finding the best strategy and providing that extra support. Being that advocate for students is the reason I went into school counseling.
I have worked in both counseling positions as well as teaching in many different settings and with students ranging in ages. I have my Masters in Education in school counseling from Hunter College and my B.A. in Psychology from Stony Brook U ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My varied experience has offered me the opportunity to develop my teaching skills. I have benefited from the opportunity to teach in a diverse setting of children with varying needs, and have maintained a high level of professionalism in every position. I have been called upon to accept responsibility for small groups of children presenting different challenges. I enjoy working with children and take pride in encouraging them to apply themselves to assigned tasks and developing a variety of methods to meet their academic needs.
As an elementary education teacher, I like to mix several types of teaching styles based on my students ability and learning styles. During the lessons I will design a learning situation and an activity that require the student to process and apply course content in a creative way. In addition, I will show my students how to properly do a task or work ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I worked as an in home private ABA therapist for two separate families, each with a child with autism. I worked individually with both children approximately 8-12 hours per week for over a year. I taught in a traditional ABA classroom with six students on the autism spectrum and all with other severe disabilities. I have also volunteered for many years as a bible school teacher.
I would have to say that my teaching style is flexibility. I believe that it is necessary to gauge your students as a group and individually before deciding on which teaching methods would be most effective. I believe that naturalistic teaching is important. I also believe in a form of discrete trial training. It takes some of the basics from Discrete Trial and adapts them to fit the needs of the students that are struggling with certain subjects. Research has proven that all students learn differently a ... read more
