Annie R - Los Banos, CA 93635 (34.1 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $48.50/hr.
I have always had a passion for teaching students who face challenges in their lives. My focus is on the student and his lifelong education above test scores. I know that all children can learn and work hard to connect with each of my students and to individualize their educational experience. During college, I worked as a home-school Spanish, Language Arts and History teacher for students ages seven through fourteen. I volunteered in classrooms, tutored, and provided childcare for children with special needs. I studied Spanish and abroad. Upon graduation, I began my teaching career in L.A. where I taught kindergarten. After three years, I decided to teach abroad and moved to a small Chinese city where I taught preschool. Back in the U.S., I taught an intervention class for struggling readers in the second and third grades. I also tutored for students after school in their homes. Cur

Lysa F - Marina, CA 93933 (38.8 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a teacher is to provide instruction in a way the child will learn best, whether that is through movement, audio, manipulative or visual cues. I understand that all children learn at their own pace and I am patient. Learning should also be relevant to a student's life. If the students understands how algebra, reading or music will help them in life, they are more persistent in their education. Finally, learning should be fun. Games allow children to master material without tedious repetition and allow students to make mistakes in a non-judgmental arena. I typically end tutoring sessions with a short game reviewing material the student has mastered. The student leaves with a feeling of success and confidence they have earned. In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social a

Jamie M - Marina, CA 93933 (40.1 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I rely on motivational strategies to encourage positive student behaviors by being positive myself and through the following strategies. When possible I allow student choice for what the student wants to work on. A student can finish an assignment in what order makes sense to him as long as he finishes. Or he can break up how much of each assignment he wants to do. I also use flexibility in my teaching methods. I have experience working with student who do not tend to learn very well from traditional teaching methods of mostly verbal or written directions. I teach by breaking up the steps of what is expected and by using manipulatives, small white boards, or graphic organizers. I hold two part-time jobs in the area of education right now. I am a resource teacher in a middle school where I help special education students and their peers in the general education classrooms to complete clas

Lindsay M - Gilroy, CA 95020 (43.9 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I am firm, fair, and fun. I believe in building upon a student’s strengths and strengthening their weaknesses. I like to teach to the individual student’s learning style. I achieve this by using differentiated instruction, concentrating on the individual’s favorable learning style. I may incorporate manipulatives, music, motion, or visual aids. I believe the student should be active in the learning process and enjoy being engaged with the material to become proud of his/her work and take ownership of the learned material. I began teaching in a second grade classroom. After receiving my Master’s Degree in Special Education, I taught at an inner city shelter facility. Shortly thereafter, I taught online for a cyber charter school and tutored at Huntington Learning Center. I have recently taught math at the junior high school level (for 5 years), while coaching softball and basketb

Bernardine M - Morgan Hill, CA 95037 (50.5 mi) - Dyslexia Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am very passionate about working with children of all ages bringing positive change to their learning development. I demonstrate flexibility, patience, compassion, and empathy.
I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I worked as a Bi-Lingual Aid Tutor for the Morgan Hill Unified School district for 3 years. In my position as Bi-Lingual Aid Tutor in the Migrant Ed program I provided tutoring assistance to children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade at Nordstrom Elementary. In addition to tutoring I also administered student assessments including pre/post testing, tracking scores, recording daily attendance, and student progress. I also worked at Live Oak High School Migr
