Tutoring without Tears.

I have 30+ years of experience helping students with a variety of disabilities which include language disorders. My experience encompasses Early Childhood Special Education, Elementary, Middle, High School, and post-secondary. I have helped students with ADD/ADHD, Autism/Aspergers/PDD-NOS, learning disabilities, multiple disabilities, medically fragile, language impaired and ESL (English as a Second Language).
Students learn best when they feel safe to explore and learn from past mistakes. In fact, 'mistakes' should be viewed as opportunities to improve skills and learning strategies. I use 'play therapy' most often to teach skills and strategies. Multiple studies have demonstrated that children learn best through play.

My own style I show a sincere interest in each student, I listen to their needs, aspirations, I tell them what I can do to assist them and I motivate the student to succeed at their own level of competency. My degree in psychology and sociology has been quite helpful through the years.
I am a successful business woman who has taught for the last 15 years. What makes me successful as a teacher or tudor lies in the fact that I bring concrete proof to the student on what they need to learn. I motivate them to getting through on this study. Although students don't typically like math and accounting I tell them this is a means to an end. So to the parents, I choose to teach and tutor, this means I love motivating the student at all ages. I have taught math, economics, sociology, psychology, marketing, economics, social studies, geography, english, literature, music appreciation and eng ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a licensed professional counselor who has worked extensively with children and youth, I have realized there is a need for solid educational options to be given and opportunities for success. During my time as a staff member for a residential youth agency, I spent many hours working with the kids on their homework and helping them understand the material. I had my first novel published in April 2008 and continue to enjoy writing as a hobby, as well as a requirement for much of my work. I have a desire to see youth increase their skills in writing and reading and would like to combine this with areas they enjoy. I have a strong background with psychology and counseling and would also be willing to tutor in these areas.
I have always loved working with children/youth and believe every one of them is capable of succeeding if they have the encouragement and resources to do so. I beli ... read more

Working at the Nashville Transition Center, essentially a half-way house for children aged 12-18 with criminal and/or troubled backgrounds, my senior year of college changed my outlook on tutoring tremendously because it opened my eyes to the challenges many face. Having been born with Muscular Dystrophy, I'm certainly no stranger to challenges, however I had never seen individuals who were never really given a fair shot to succeed in my eyes. Once I realized that I could be the one to help these children reach their goals, it immediately changed my perception. I've always been very easy-going and empathetic and I feel that these are my two greatest strengths as a tutor. Using these strengths along with my sense of humor I attempt to form a connection with my students. It’s only through a genuine connection between student and tutor that one can get students to believe in themselves ... read more

My greatest joy is in watching the progress of students, knowing I am making a difference. I know my students will be productive members of society now/in the future. I use a variety of techniques in order to get the "ahha's" when a student understands. I believe all children can learn and become lifelong learners when given opportunities to learn strategies that work for them. If I find that a technique is not working, I go to my repertoire of techniques until I find one that works. I use humor/silliness to help students retain what they have learned. To see the enthusiasm on a learner's face and to hear it in their voice when they understand something, makes teaching a fantastic job.
Over the past 29+ years I have been teaching in the fields of Elementary Education and Special Education. I am certified in Elementary Education, Learning Disabilities, Mentally Handicapped (Intelle ... read more

I have been caring for children of all ages for the last 9 years, which includes tutoring and metoring. I am also in my second year as a substitute teacher, in which I teach grades pre-k through 12th grade.
I believe that all children want and try to do their best, but sometimes need an extra push. I think it is necessary to use the appropriate curriculum, but to find out what teaching method works best for each student as we all learn differently. It is also important for each child/student to have some flexibility in what they learn in order to express their individuality and own creativity.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe every child has a right to an education and to be educated in an environment that is nurturing and conducive to their individual learning style. As a teacher it is my responsibility to determine what that style is and continuously analyze to ensure that it's working. A teachers responsibility goes further than just delivering content. There is an art to the delivery and the delivery means little if the information is not retained. Through a series of measurement, data collection, and analysis of a students knowledge, this ensures that I am delivery the curriculum in a manner that is conducive to the child's learning.
I began my education career in Special Education working with students diagnosed with an emotional disturbance. After five years I went into administration as a principal of a private school that provided the same type of services for students with an emo ... read more

As an ambitious doctoral candidate and highly motivated life-long learner, I am currently focused on academia and all that it entails. For example, I have earned a bachelor degree in psychology and a certificate in trauma studies. In addition, I have earned a master's degree in adult and higher education and am thoroughly enjoying my dissertation work/research in earning my doctoral degree. Additionally, I have three certificates in writing (Writing, Technical, and Creative), a certificate in institutional research, and a certificate in university teaching.
My philosophical foundation of teaching reflects on my own learning experiences during my undergraduate and graduate coursework. During much of those higher learning opportunities, my professors utilized a very respectful perspective towards all students, and this background of having role models has instilled in me the importan ... read more

I have 20 years of experience teaching children with special needs from preschool through high school. Although I have taught Reading, Composition, Math, American History, Biology, Earth Science, English, Civics and book education for Driver’s Education, my strength is in teaching/improving reading skills.

Speaking to children of all ages comes naturally to me. My parents both love being teachers and have been in the game for over 30 years a piece! I traveled to schools to give presentations on my marine mammal experiences to grades K-8. I currently work for the Education Department at the Saint Louis ZOO where we strive to keep learning a blast! I believe learning sticks when it's fun and stumbled upon! A GOOD teacher can be a gift and set a fire in a child or young adult to take on the world! I love sharing my passion for learning and understanding. I hope it's contagious!
I have always had a knack for the sciences and left the Midwest to follow my love of Marine Biology. While in school, I revisted my interest in the arts (painting, piano, and animation). It was then I realized I was passionate about so many topics and didn't want to limit myself to one thing! I've work ... read more

I firmly believe that every student has great potential for learning. It is my job as an educator to meet them where they are and help them unlock that potential. I infuse humor, real-world connections, and personal experience into my lessons to make them more meaningful for my students.
I have over eight years experience as a professional educator. It is a privilege to help students become more confident and feel successful in their abilities. I have worked with students of different ages and ability levels. I love helping students realize their personal potential and reach an understanding of something of which they didn't realize they were capable.

A Little Bit About Me...

While I was attending college I served as a Certified Trainer at Outback Steakhouse for several years. I taught our classroom for trainees, and I also developed and trained key employees. In addition, I volunteered at the International Institute and have helped newly arrived immigrants American customs and basic English syntax and grammar. Soon thereafter I earned two BA degrees, one in French and the other in Political Science. Currently, I aid in the rehabilitation of socially disadvantaged children by maintaining a therapeutic environment, and teaching everyday social skills.
I sincerely have a passion for helping others. I enjoy learning and growing together. Also, I believe that one has the potential to learn from anyone, young or old; it is merely an open mind that is vital. Also, I feel that sharing ideas and concepts in an open forum is conducive to healthy learning. ... read more
