Experienced Applied Behavior Analyst available to assist.

My interest in working with special needs children began after I discovered that my son was diagnosed with special needs. In working with him, I found that patience and consistency were the keys to success. After my son entered grade school, I trained as an Applied Behavior Analyst and started tutoring. I remained with one family for 7 years and gained a wealth of knowledge over the period of time.
I believe in the whole body teaching approach. I do not solely focus on the educational aspect, but also the social, emotional and physical development of each student I work with.

It is such a joy to see a child learn a new concept. I enjoyed teaching. I tried to emphasize that no one can take away an education from you in hopes to eager the children to learning every aspect of the subject at hand. My biggest goal was to get the children a need or want to learn all they could learn. I substituted every aspect of children from special needs to A+ students. Every child got the same respect in my teaching, because we all are individuals. It did not matter if that child was handicapped or not because she or he was their own individual. I tried to let each child's individuality come out for that child to be the person she or he wanted to be.
I have 46 credited hours in educating children. I substituted Kindergarten through the sixth grades for Jefferson County, Birmingham City, and Vestavia Hills School Districts for the past six years. Children are ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the years of my tutoring children, I have developed a certain way of approaching all my students. I believe that every child is unique and learns in a certain way. So when I first meet my student, I evaluate their favorite way of learning and the goals they and their parents want to achieve. Then I develop a easy to follow learning agenda that we will follow. Then I use multiple ways of teaching from using reading, writing, multiple examples, repetition, visuals, drawing, and flashcards. Throughout my students learning experience, I always make sure they are having fun while they are learning, so it's an education and fun experience for all my students.

I choose to become a teacher because I think educators are one of, if not the most, influential people in the course of someone's life. Every student has the potential to excel in any subject, and I believe it is important to find out how the student learns best and implement this in teaching/tutoring them. Teaching requires patience and determination, and I believe these are two qualities I possess.
