Shannon S. - Hoover, AL 35226 (17.9 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I believe that every student has the ability to learn. Teachers must take the time to discover the individual needs of students in order to help all students be successful. I strive to provide individualized instruction in all areas and for all children. I firmly believe in involving a child's parents in all aspects of their education. Parents are a child's first teachers! I have been teaching students with special needs for the past 14 years. I have experience with preschool through 6th grade. I also worked at Sylvan Learning Center, where I worked with students through 12th grade. I especially enjoy working with students with Learning Disabilities, lower cognitive abilities, and children on the Autism Spectrum. I am trained in a reading program for children with Dyslexia. Contact me for more information.

Caryn W - Birmingham, AL 35206 (5.8 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $38.00/hr.
Many students struggle with relationships and well as their academics. I believe in creating a safe, nuturing environment were a student is able to work at his own pace, at his own level, and feel a bond with his teacher. Setting realistic and obtainable goals with the student is a key factor to success. Measuring and documenting progress allows student, teacher, and family to see a visual record of growth. Addressing multiple intelligences and multiple learning styles are essential for struggling students. Finding a student's best mode of learning increases self-esteem and time on task. I have 20 plus years of teaching experience. I have worked with students from pre-school age to adults. I have taught students with a variety of disabilities and functioning levels from severely impaired to gifted.

Willie B - Birmingham, AL 35214 (7.3 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $38.50/hr.
My teaching style is interactive. I believe in fully engaging the student in the teaching-learning process. Students are more receptive to learning when they take ownership in the educational process.
I am very patient and goal oriented. I know all children can learn and if given the proper set of learning conditions they can achieve educational heights that often surpasses their pre-conceived notions of learning barriers. Knowledge is power and I seek to aid and assist the learner in harnessing that power so as to become a life-long learner and ultimately a productive citizen. For twenty-five years I successfully taught a comprehensive curriculum to elementary students (grades three through eighth).
My areas of academic interest are: Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies. I had an opportunity to visit several countries I taught in social studies (i.e., West Africa (Ghana a

Allison D - Birmingham, AL 35222 (7.3 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Most of all I enjoy helping students and families achieve academic success. I am a kind, considerate, respectful professional with a love for teaching. Effective teaching means evaluating the student many ways such as observing,using research-based assessments,running records, and written work. Also, it is necessary to have input from a parents point of view. I always consider parents knowledge of their child and background information to help me plan for the individual students needs.I am available to help you and your child discover the most effective way to learn and apply the knowledge gained. For the past fourteen years, I have been a dedicated and enthusiastic elementary teacher in the Alabama public/private schools. I earned a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education with a GPA of 3.9. I have many hours of professional development training in a variety of subjects such as techn

Michelle Y - Homewood, AL 35209 (9.9 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I am driven by knowledge, the more knowledge I have the more I can relate to people from all walks of life. I have always been fascinated most by science and psychology. I studied biology, chemistry and psychology in college and earned a bachelors degree in Psychology. Through this I have acquired grammatical skills on how to write research papers and lab reports. I taught a study tactics course for a year and a half that focused on chemistry. This gave me the advantage to not only teach study habits but also help students learn chemistry. Through this experience I also privately tutored students. Children are one of the greatest joys in life because I get to watch them learn and understand the world around them. Children are sponges that soak up all the knowledge present to them. My teaching style is hands on. I want children to learn not just by a book but by practical application. W

Carlia M - Pleasant Grove, AL 35127 (13.4 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Since I have completed degrees in English, and Education with a Literacy specialization, I am more than qualified to teach/tutor students in English/LA and Reading. Additionally, I've passed the Praxis II Exam that the State of Alabama requires to "highly qualify" teachers. Moreover, I have spent four 1/2 years working directly with students in Special Education and ESL. I have extensive experience with inclusion, differentiated instruction, and accomodating lessons. I believe all students can learn any material, but it’s up to teachers, parents and schools to work together to come up with the best educational plan to make sure that they do. Therefore, I prefer the collaborative and community language learning model. Since all students possess many different levels of strengths and weaknesses, I demonstrate several strategies, and allow them to choose the one that works best for the

My teaching style is mostly student-centered. I am the facilitator who is there to support all my students to do their best thinking and practice.

Berlene M - Fairfield, AL 35064 (13.6 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I connect well with children and encourage open communiction so that I may determine their learning styles and learning needs. I believe in teaching through inquiry and life experiences. I believe that making connections to content will enhance learning and increase comprehension. I do not have formal experience in tutoring. I have taught for two months and have completed student teaching in kindergarten and 3rd grade. I completed numerous research papers during my time in college and all earned grades of B+ and higher.

Tanna G - Moody, AL 35004 (13.7 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Young children learn best through things that have meaning to them. For example, I once tutored a child that had difficulty learning his multiplication tables, but was an avid NASCAR fan. I taught him the sums of multiplication problems by using the numbers on the drivers cars. He learned that the sum of 6x4, and 4x6 was equal to Jeff Gordon's number, which was 24. We did that with every car in NASCAR and people were amazed at how quickly he learned his multiplication tables. Multiplication tables became a breeze to him. I have used similar principals teaching phonics, and reading to young children. I also, have a history of being patient and understanding with elementary aged children. My love for children and wanting to make a difference in their lives, led me to get my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I believe that learning can make a difference in one's quality of life,

Nancy B - Bessemer, AL 35020 (15 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I love working with adolescents. I believe with all of my heart that each teen has the ability to accomplish great things with the proper motivation. I truly believe that children, teens as well as adults learn best by doing. I do not believe in teaching to a particular topic. I believe in teaching to the student and how the individual student learns. I want each one of my student's to succeed in their school environment as well as in their lives. Since January 2008, I have had the opportunity of tutoring at risk 9th, 10th, and 11th graders at Leeds High School's AVID (Achievement Via Individual Determination). I attempt to teach them critical thinking skills, reading skills, as well as studying skills.
I have worked with the AVID program while I completed my Masters Program.

Brian Z - Hoover, AL 35244 (17.9 mi) - Special Education Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I thoroughly enjoy working with, teaching, and learning from children. I approach teaching with the belief that all students are capable of excelling if both they and the teacher have the appropriate attitude. With an easygoing (and hopefully fun) style of teaching, I strive to instill in students the excitement of learning. While attending Birmingham Southern College, I had several teaching experiences: I volunteered as a tutor at a nearby elementary school, tutored in my college's writing center, and worked for three summers as a camp counselor. After receiving a BA in English, I taught high school English conversation in Hungary for a year.
My ultimate goal is to teach English at a university, but I love working with primary and secondary schoolers. Given my reading, writing, and editing experience (as well as my extensive experience working with children), I feel comfortable teac
