I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Taught Kindergarten through 8th grade. Currently, work with students with special needs, developmental delays, autism,dyslexia and dyscalclia.

Taught children's theatre for many years and put on exciting productions! Specialize in writing, reading, and wrote a unique app for learning how to read.
Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

20 years of experience as a certified teacher and tutor

My teaching style is dependent upon a student's learning style. Once I determine how the student learns best, I tailor my teaching style to their needs.
I have taught elementary and middle school in small K-12 schools in Thorne Bay, Alaska and Prospect, Oregon. I gained more experience teaching elementary school in the Grants Pass School District as well as the Three Rivers School District in Grants Pass, Oregon. From there I moved to Vancouver, Washington where I taught behavior-disabled elementary students in a self-contained classroom in the Vancouver School District and middle school resource in the Evergreen School District, both of these very large districts. From Washington I moved to Arizona where I taught middle school regular education as well as special education in both the Kyrene School District. as well as the Scottsdale School District.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : Play attention provider.Play attention is a biofeedback, computer-based program for children with attention problems. It is designed to improve attention and teach skills necessary to engage and attend. There is built in fun to compare and try to beat previous game scores. Each session consist of 5 biofeedback successive games that are engaging, minimum of 2-3 times per week for one hour each day, which includes behavior interventions and coaching. In each game the child gets to see how his/her attention (or distracting behaviors) affect the characters on the screen and thus scores. As they see their progress they learn to recognize the relationship between distracting behaviors and their ability to focus. It takes an average of 40-60 hours to complete the program.  My success with the program has shown changes begin in just four weeks training . Also, Incredible long-term results like finishing homework on-time, ignoring distractions, less day dreaming, better grades, and better behavior are some of the long term payoff.

Organized, creative and flexible in the design and implementation of intensive, explicit and comprehensive direct instruction. Skilled in assessing strengths and needs to develop an individualized structure and schedule in the natural environment in a systematic and sequential way. Dedicated to building lasting skills acquisition by scaffolding adaptive sensory-motor responses. Excelent behavioral management techniques in anticipating behaviors and addressing coping skills, problem solving and communicative functions. Seasoned and assertive teacher devoted to excellence, who takes pride in my passion for helping children reach their hidden potentials and improve quality of life.

A Little Bit About Me...

My objective as an educator is to be a compass that enlightens young minds, guiding them to discover hidden talents and deepen existing gifts. Mastery is best achieved through active learning, giving students a variety of individualized tools to measure, evaluate, and contribute to their global world.

As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In addition I have tutored for 5 years at all age and skill levels.
My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I enjoy getting to know students, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and using both to help them become lifetime learners. I feel strongly that students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension should receive special help at an early age and that the right methods can give them the skills they need to be successful in the future. I look forward to giving students the opportunity to succeed!

More About This Tutor...

I started tutoring high school students; helping them with anything from test prep to organizational and study skills. I then started tutoring younger children helping them complete their homework, understand their material, and how to study for tests. I have over seven years experience tutoring students and getting results. I love children and helping them succeed in school is my passion.
I am very patient with students. I am not quick to tell them how to do a problem or what the answer is because the student will never learn how to do it on their own. I allow the student to work through the problem, offering my assistance along the way.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching and working with children and feel that it is important to understand that not all students learn the same way. I feel that my college experience has taught me to discover the ways I learn and understand things. In that sense I feel that all students have the potential to succeed if they acknowledge and become aware of their appropriate manner of learning. I think that being patient, compassionate and understanding is a must, which I feel I can bring fourth as a tutor and mentor. Doing community service in high school to my college years I have always enjoyed working and helping others because of the rewarding feeling that you can make a difference in someone's life.
As a graduate of Sociology I have gained a lot of knowledge about how society functions. I was interested in this area of study to understand peoples because I have always had compassion for others. ... read more
