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.

I was in the top 10% of my class at an elite college preparatory school and earned a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago. This has exposed me to great teachers and a variety of different teaching styles. I studied cello and piano formally for 7 and 10 years, respectively, and taught cello for 2 years. In high school I taught Adult English-as-a-Second Language classes for 2 years. I've also taught skiing and guided young children in after school art and literature programs for several years. My diverse education and experiences have led to my deep understanding of art, literature, history, math, science, and business. I have written numerous essays on art and literature, research papers, lab reports, and analytical reports.
My rigorous education has given me substantial insight into the "total package" needed to learn and succeed at a high level. The ability to lea ... read more

My experience teaching English has taught me that everyone has the ability to learn. The challenge is to identify the needs and style of the learner and adapt to them. I had students who were mostly visual learners and needed everything written down or printed on handouts; I had students who were mainly auditory learners and needed to have everything said to them, sometimes two or even three times in different ways. Some of my students wanted to be able to speak with their boss or participate in meetings held in English; others needed to write or proofread documents in English. My main goal in teaching is to figure out what my students want and need and help them achieve their goals. Teaching English was a very learner-centered approach, with the students fully engaged and participating throughout the lesson. I think that tutoring should be the same way, with the focus on how the s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

During my graduate year at San Diego State University in the School of Education I worked at one junior high school teaching U.S.History and one high school teaching an English class. The next year I subbed for the public schools in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I also taught Ecology and Conservation for the Camping and Education Foundation from 1971-1974, in International Falls, Minnesota. I was also a ski instructor in Innsbruck, Austria. Since then I have taught sales and marketing skills for small groups of professional adults. I enjoy teaching at all levels and seem to have a rare rapport with students of all ages.
Teaching is a unique experience that I enjoy thoroughly. I excel at one on one and small group teaching/tutoring, but am equally comfortable in front of 20 or 30 students as well. My patience and love of children is off the charts. I bring a lot of life experien ... read more

While I was an undergrad I tutored one student from Mexico and asisted her with her papers she had to write to ensure proper use of the English language. Then I tutored another student who was a year behind me in the nursing program. I have earned a BSN in Nursing and a MN in Adult Psychosocial Nursing. Over the years I have informally assisted my sisters with their homework and my niece with exploring ideas and concepts so she could settle on the best one for her and the assignment she needed to complete.
My style is to focus on a person's strengths and to build from there. I prefer to ask questions to get the individual to do their own thinking instead of giving them "canned" responses. I am fairly patient and easygoing but set firm limits that I expect to be respected. I believe everyone is capable of achieving their highest potential if they are given the right tools and encour ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style varies depending on the type of students I am teaching to because I believe that each student has a particular learning style that they find easier. I think that it is important to find the types of learning that each student finds easiest to understand, and tailor the course so that it works well with their particular learning abilities. This can easily be done in a classroom setting as well as an individual basis. In either case, while I am teaching I think that it is important to understand the topic we are on before moving to the next one. Slowing down to completely grasp each idea helps students to gain confidence in their learning ability, and actually helps the classroom or individual to progress much faster overall. Giving students a hope for their future ability to learn is one of the best things I can do for them.
In preparation for college, I knew that ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy working with children of most ages although I worked mainly with K, first, fourth and high school levels during my four years of experience. I believe everyone has the ability to reach their greatest potential with appropriate help and that sometimes extra assistance can be the difference between success and failure. I use rewards to help children feel better about what they have accomplished. I encourage the use of creativity in learning as long as it does not distract from the lesson that needs to be learned.
During my four years at Case Western Reserve University, I became aware of the needs of the city schools in the area and worked to help improve the situations in the schools. I worked with AmericaREADS, OhioREADS and other similar programs to help tutor children who were not able to get the individual attention they needed in the classroom. Because of my backgro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Ever since I was introduced to American Sign Language (ASL), I have been deeply fascinated in the language and its speakers. A year after my initial experience with ASL, I decided to create my own Bachelor's Degree at the University of Utah. I was able to design curriculum pertaining to my desired field of interest. The classes I took were mostly education related. I had several classes in education psychology, multi-cultural education, diversity and culture. My major emphasis was on language and more specifically, deaf culture. Last Spring I tutored a family in their home in Park City. Their daughter was a participant in the SLC Deaflympics this past winter and they wanted to learn how to sign. It was a wonderful experience. I am an extremely organized person and love to be creative. I enjoy writing and art in my spare time. I also enjoy helping students learn to communicate ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I absolutely 100% believe that ALL children can learn! I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to provide a healthy learning environment, one in which the student feels safe, secure, accepted and valued. I believe in self-fulfilling prophecies. If a child is encouraged to learn and knows that they can - they will. I feel very privileged to have had an opportunity to have created these types of situations for the students I have come in contact with.
During my education experience at Northern Arizona University, I learned early on that I have a passion for education and for teaching. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the top of my class. Through observing and student teaching experiences I learned techniques for teaching students science, English, math, reading, art and music. I also gained valuable grammatical skills through wr ... read more

I believe in interactive education. That is, students learn by communicating with one another. Student-student interaction is encouraged and enforced in all my French and ESL language classes. I always design my classes so that each student is given the opportunity to practice a new language in an enjoyable yet academic setting.
I have been teaching French and English as a Second Language in middle school and high school for seven years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education and I am planning to pursue my Masters and PhD degrees in Education, Education Administration and Special Education.

A Little Bit About Me...

I prefer sitting at the student's elbow, with the assigned work in between us, focusing on it together. I talk about "it" rather than "you" to avoid making the student self-conscious. Writing can always be improved, and each student has areas of strength and weakness. I try to pick one area that needs the most attention, and focus on it. When there is significant improvement, I move on to the next area of weakness. Pointing out all of a student's mistakes and weaknesses at once drains morale, and that is counterproductive. Working on one area at a time keeps the student from being overwhelmed. I like to have the student read out loud to me, so that we can both see what needs improvement. I also point out what was done correctly to boost confidence. Goals are important, as well as establishing a time frame for achieving them.
