Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Pompey, NY

I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth. My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.

I have been a Special Education Teacher for 4 years at the pre-k level working with students 3-5 years old with various disabilities. For the last 4 years I have taught Special Education at the pre-k level. My classes consist of students with disabilities, as well as students without disabilities. Over the last four years I have had the opportunity to work with students with various disabilities including: Autism, Traumatic brain injuries, ADD and ADHD, Down Syndrome and learning disabilities. I can adapt my teaching style to the learning style of the student. I believe that interactive and hands on activities benefit students with disabilities because they are learning through doing, rather than simply being told.

I have a strong math and science background. In college, I started out in chemical engineering (2 1/2 yrs.) and then switched to education. My bachelor’s degree is a dual degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. Initially, I taught first grade in a parochial school. My next job was teaching math at the high school level to students with various learning disabilities. Next, I taught individualized mathematics at a science and technology high school. I also had experience team teaching in this environment. Presently, I am a high school resource teacher for 10th grade. I have previously taught resource at the 8th and 9th grade levels as well. I also tutor students after school hours or during weekends. Individualization is an important part of my teaching style.

I love teaching and helping children to succeed. I believe that it is important for children to develop a life long love of learning. This should be accomplished through a safe and supportive environment and facilitated by a child-centered curriculum. I also believe students learn best when they can relate to what they are learning, as well as being immersed in it. This is best accomplished through integrated learning. I believe that a teacher is both a facilitator of learning as well as a positive role model. All children need the opportunity to explore themselves and figure out what they are good at and what they like, and I will be there to guide the children. I have extensive experience working with children grades prekindergarten to eleven. I taught universal prekindergarten, kindergarten and fifth grade, as well as teaching a social action course to students in grades ten an

After six years as a high-tech sales representative, I left private industry to pursue a career in education because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people. I have since earned a Masters degree in special education, which has provided me with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively teach students with special needs. I have six years of direct instructional experience working with students with diagnosed disabilities including cognitive deficiencies and developmental delays, learning disabilities and psychological/psychosocial diagnoses, as well as English Language Learners. During my tenure as an educator, I have taught English Language Arts, reading and writing, mathematics, history, and science. My teaching is predicated on the philosophy that all students can achieve academically. Through versatility and flexibility, I strive to satisfy the diverse and

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

I can identify and help students with learning disabilities because I myself have a learning disability. Although I myself was considered to be a slow learner and I had (and still have) dyslexia, I never the less taught myself how to study and how to get through high school, college, and graduate school. I can help the students on their own level because I have been there and I know how frustrating it can be to have to study without having the right tools. I not only tutor students but I also give them the right tools to be able to study and learn for themselves. I have spent most of my career in helping students with learning challenges and other special needs. My strongest asset is that I am very good at teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I have tutored a lot of students who are considered to be slow learners or who have some kind of learning disability. When I first started in t

As a recent graduate of Le Moyne College with stellar grades, I have achieved a truly remarkable level of education. Though I have only earned a BA in Psychology, I have a very comprehensive knowledge of English literature, composition, history, French, and music theory in addition to a near encyclopedic knowledge of psychology. Though my teaching experience is limited to giving guitar lessons in my spare time, with my vast knowledge and stellar communication skills, I feel confident that if given the chance I could teach or tutor almost anyone in most tough subjects. My method is very student-centered: learn the student's interests, strengths, weaknesses, and needs, and the way to properly teach them anything will be clear as day. I believe very strongly that people best digest knowledge when it's delivered to them "in their own language," and in ways that they can easily identify co

I have been an educator for 24 years. I have never thought about doing anything else because I love teaching. I've been told that I have a way with students that makes them feel comfortable and confident. I have taught everything from K thru 8th grade and I esp. love middle school. Extra curricular activities are my strong point and I have been involved in many throughout the years. My experience includes time in suburban Florida as well as inner city schools in upstate NY. I like to use different methods to help students learn. I am a hands-on teacher who believes in having students discover their own successful learning styles. Students learn the best by doing, so, I try to let them figure things out while guiding them through instead of having them memorize rote information. Learning becomes permanent only when it is understood. I am a firm believer in Life-Long Learning.

I have been working with learning disabled students in a resource room setting as well as in inclusive classrooms in a push-in situation for fifteen years. I am very knowledgeable of the middle school curriculum. I have worked with many different special need students. My experience with different students allows for me to help learners of all different levels and learning types. My love of reading literature and writing of all types would make me an asset in helping students to learn the proper writing mechanics as well the proper use of literary tools. I am also knowledgeable in different strategies for helping those students who struggle with the reading process. All children are capable of learning. I believe that it is a developmental process. I also believe it is a scaffolding process in which we must build upon the skills that have been taught previously. If a student miss
