I use the Orton- Gilingham multi sensory approach.

I Have worked for the Davis County School district for 12 years. The last few years I have been working intervention for students who are not performing at grade level. I have learned that not all kids can learn the way they are taught in school. My 8 year old is dyslexic. I Have studied the Orton-Gilingham multisensory approach to reading and spelling. I have also learned to engage children in activities that are fun and creative. I will not be doing the same teaching style as there school.
ORTON-Gilingham multi sensory approach. Math without words until the concept is mastered. Using lots of manipulatives including video games, that teach concepts.

Creative Writing is one of my top subjects!

I am a culinary school graduate and a full-time chef. As part of my chef-ly duties, I regularly find myself teaching cooking techniques and helping people become more comfortable in the kitchen. When it comes to writing, that I do more for my own amusement, but I have always considered myself more of a writer than anything else. I have experience and enjoy training youth in resume writing and goal setting.
I am an extremely patient person. My teaching style stems from that. I encourage those I tutor to set goals for what they want to learn or accomplish and then assist them in working towards those goals.

A Little Bit About Me...

I would prefer the library, just because it is big and open. The library in Tooele is a great example. It has rooms that can be used. I would prefer tutoring no more than 10 students at a time. If I can get a copy of the lesson before hand, I can be prepared.
Most of the subjects I have selected I passed with an 85% or better. I also did some tutoring in high school for other students. If I didn't learn it, I am most likely to figure out what is going on. It helps to know before hand what the lesson and subject is, just so I can remember what it is and to be more prepared.

Give Real life experience a try

Hands on approaches mixed with worldly knowledge, and a very patient style.
Experience throughout school, work and personal experience dealing with the mentally challenged and dyslexia. my best friend had a son who was dyslexic and also he had ADD and I got him to trust me in babysitting and I taught him various things. I taught him how to read and write he could not accomplish that on his own. He was 11 at the time and I think with kids you have to be creative to teach them and I am very creative. I also have an aunt who is mentally handicapped, and I love spending time with her she is a very giving person. They teach me and it is always a joy to work with them and give something back.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style might be a bit unorthodox but it is something I have acquired from past teachers and tutors. I have not helped or tutored in a while but I believe I have an easy and simple approach to it. When it comes to physics and chemistry, the math can be learned over night, the concepts are most critical. You can't read a problem and interpret the question word for word. You have to find a way to relate it to real life and what you see everyday. A spinning disk becomes a truck tire, a sound device becomes a sub woofer. Things that you can relate to.
I have yet to complete my senior year of studies at the University but I will be done by Spring 2011. I am working towards my first Bachelors Degree, BS in Physics and will continue with school after until I get my MS in Chemical Engineering. Physics and Chemistry have always come easy to me and I know that because of this I can ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Teaching is a personal act. Though I have enjoyed being in the classroom and seeing students develop as a community of learners, I have seen the most progress by addressing students' individual needs in a one-on-one situation. I see literature as one of most effective ways that people come to understand one another, the act of reading being a fundamentally unselfish and inquisitive act, an attempt to make sense of and relate to another person’s perspective. Writing is reading’s reciprocal act—a kind of reaching out in hopes of being understood, in adding somehow to the volumes of human perspectives. These are keys to democratic living. It is a great thrill for me to see these discoveries take place within the students I teach.

A Little Bit About Me...

Being a recent graduate of the University of Portland with a degree in International Business and Finance, I have already had the opportunity to use my skills by working in Financial Services in London. During my four years of study at the University of Portland, I spent two semesters in Salzburg, Austria and one semester in Perth, Australia. I have received top-tier education and plan to use this to my full potential, especially through teaching others. I have been very involved throughout my college years with tutoring (mainly Math and English) and continued tutoring Elementary level students part time while I was working in London.
My teaching style incorporates an initial understanding of the student. I believe that it is crucial to understand the needs, wants, and habits of the individual to get the most out of each session. I am able to create an atmosphere which makes the wo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having taught both gifted as well as students with learning disabilities, the one factor I found in common with all of them, is that in order to get them to learn you have to first get them engaged. Although I believe that traditional teaching methods certainly have their place, I am a firm believer in thinking outside of the box, and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to education. I worked with a lot of students who did not necessarily do well in traditional classroom settings, who suddenly became active participants in their education once I was able to show them that the subject could hold an interest for them outside of the classroom. Anyone can follow a set curriculum, but it takes special care to bring a subject to life.

I have earned my BS in Biology from Westminster College. I am currently applying to veterinary schools to become an equine veterinarian. This path has led me to master the basic sciences, including biology, chemistry and physics, as well as to gain a solid background in mathematics through calculus and statistics. During the last four years I have tutored high school students in math and the sciences. I am an avid reader and excelled in my SAT and GRE Verbal and Reading Comprehension sections. I have a solid understanding of the test taking techniques that will help students excel at standardized tests.

I have had 15 yrs experiences working with kids age 2-18 in different areas from reading, math, afterschool programs, special needs and general assistance. I completed my Masters in Education at Arizona State University and have worked in two different non-profits specializing in at risk youth completing high school. I have tutored in English, math, reading, and science in the elementary age. I have also tutored English and reading in junior high and high school.
I have a very interactive personality. I love to get kids involved in their subjects outside of the textbook. I have seen from years of experience that students do better when the can find real life applications of material in everyday life then just to finish an assignment. I know that there are many different learning styles and no one particular way can be right for every child. I am flexible and want to help children a ... read more

Learning has always been important to me. I've always strived to further my education and find new things to learn. I have earned a Master's degree in Integrated Marketing Communications, which involved english, writing, math, business, reading and of course marketing. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communications. A lot more english, and writing was had, but also included a great deal of editing and grammar skills. During college and since graduating I have taught Italian at a college level, as well as being a trainer at multiple jobs.
Teaching is something at which I feel I excel. I feel the best way to learn changes in each individual. Not just children, but adults as well. I seek out the best way for individuals to learn and go from there, whether that be through reading, interaction or visual stimuli. Anyone can learn, and achieve whatever they want, they just need ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The hallmark of my teaching style is patience. If students do not immediately grasp a concept, I accept and relish the challenge of finding a way to reach through the barrier. I have found my greatest success is achieved when foundational concepts are built or re-built. A step-by-step approach usually works best, but I have developed great flexibility from working with students who function across a wide range of learning challenges.
The early years of my experience were in the junior high setting. I taught sixth through ninth grade during this time, drawing heavily on my background strengths in theater, literature, grammar, creative writing, and my years as a legal secretary. I developed curriculum for the English department and was instrumental in launching an exploratory study system for alternative, creative learning. For the last twelve years, I have taught basic writing f ... read more
