More About This Tutor...

I like children to get up and move and learn. All students learn differently and it is up to me to learn what it is and then use that to help them learn.
All through college I Tutored children at-risk and/or having a disability. I determined individual needs and apply a variety of methods to help children learn. As a first grade teaching after school I tutor first grader with reading and math. I like children to learn in a fun way. Students need to get up and learn. Worksheets are not something that I like to do when tutoring. Children sit in a desk all day. They do not want to then go and tutor and sit some more. I like to get the kids up and learning.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a special education masters degreed professional, advocate and behavior specialist and a Board Member and WALK event founder and chairperson for the past three years for the Autism Society of America, you can be sure I believe that all students of all abilities should receive an appropriate education that takes into account their strengths, weaknesses, disability if any and learning style. The key to all teaching and learning is motivation. Teachers are challenged to find the correct motivation for each student and strategies to connect with them by connecting the real world to their curriculum and academic goals. Any child can learn, it is just that students need to be met where they are in life and rapport established to plant seeds of motivation and for learning to begin. We all remember those teachers who were kind to us, made the subject matter either fun, interesting or bot ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I'm really happy that I chose teaching as my life-long profession. I've been lucky enough to have taught a variety of subjects, from math, reading and computer skills, to minimal impact camping techniques, daily living skills and sign language classes. I've taught students of all ages throughout the United States and can provide them with a wealth of experience as well as the ability to view life from many perspectives.
I have been a teacher for 28 years. I am certified to teach elementary education, the learning disabled, and the deaf and hard of hearing. In addition, I possess intermediate level sign language skills. I have earned a BS in education and a MS in Education, both from Temple University. I work especially well with elementary school students in the areas of reading, language arts and math.

A Little Bit About Me...

Each child is different. A good teacher helps each student meet their expectations while keeping the child interested in the subject matter. Each day my goal is the same, to get the most out of my students, and this can only be done when they are attentive and motivated. The best teachers I've had, and the one's I've gotten the most out of working with, have all had one thing in common; they cared about what they taught and even more so about those whom they were teaching.
As a student I studied languages, earning a degree in English and an extensive minor in French. During my time in college I spent innumerable hours tutoring both. Over the years I've had countless hours of experience teaching phonics, grammar, reading, writing, creative writing, and conversation. I've also taught and/or tutored elementary math and science, drama, music, and Chinese.

Having taught college English in rural China, I have found that I am extremely adaptable in my teaching style. I have the ability to precisely coordinate my teaching techniques with the background and needs of the student in order to create a succesful and executable educational support system. In teaching, I aim to provide the student with a breadth of perspective in any given topic while enhancing their analytical abilities. It is my firm belief that a mindful tutor can help make a mindful student, and that every student deserves systematic and attentive support. In teaching each and every one of my students, I take to heart the philosophy that a good education is absolutely invaluable.
Over the course of my twenty-three years I have received an international education by way of inter-continental travel and attendance to a world-class university. I have spent much time in the vol ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended Northern Arizona University, whereupon I fell in love with sociology. I have a firm grasp of basic and advanced sociological concepts, specializing in historical analysis and research methods. After school, I spent my time working temporary jobs, and found one that I thoroughly enjoyed. At Wyko I aquired a set of technical skills that allowed me to work on some of the most advanced instruments of the day. So far as my teaching is concerned, I have been teaching for a number of years as a full-time instructor for elementary students. Many of these students include special needs and emotionally handicapped children.
My teaching style is Socratic in method. I have learned a large variety of techniques to help teach some of the most basic to the most advanced concepts to a large audience of students. I like to mold my teaching style to fit with each individual student ... read more

More About This Tutor...

One of my many passions in life is working with kids, specifically tutoring them. I have found that it is easier to tutor a student when they know that they are surrounded by positivity. With this I am referring to the feeling of comfort and knowing that it's ok to be wrong. I notice more confidence in my students when I establish a friendship with them. In addition to this, letting my students know that even at different ages, we can still relate to one another. I love incorporating visual images, tangible objects, color, laughter, and fun in my tutoring sessions. I strongly believe that repetition is important when learning something new. I have found that every students learning style is different and I have been able to easily adjust to this.
Working as a tutor has given me the opportunity to demonstrate great leadership among my peers and students while creating a positive env ... read more
