Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have a master's degree in Special Education and I taught special education for several years. I've taught students with numerous learning needs and I believe all students can learn.

My career as a teacher has taught me the importance of extending learning beyond the classroom. My work with families has made me sensitive to the needs of all students from a variety of different cultures and backgrounds. I have excellent teaching and verbal communication skills. I differentiate instruction to meet the needs of students and to address multiple learning styles. Most importantly, I believe all students can learn.
I believe I have the skills set and passion needed to successfully tutor a variety of students. I have a Specialist degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment and I am a certified teacher with a master’s in Special Education. I currently teach adults studying for their GED. I also taught a self-contained, city-wide program in the District of Columbia Public School system for four years for students with multiple disabilities. Both settings have mad ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way. Tutoring should be a joint process of discovering a student's learning style and tailoring information so that the student is able to learn and thrive. In my opinion, teaching should focus on the individual strengths of the learner and not just their challenges. The student should learn to use their strengths to not only overcome their challenges, but also to fall in love with learning and gain self confidence.
As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper ... read more

More About This Tutor...

With all of my experience and education, I have had the opportunity to work with all facets of children; from those who require a great deal of help, to those who might just need a little more challenge then what their work was providing them. Having worked with large and diverse groups of children I have assisted in English, math, science, and social studies from grade school to high school. I am very dedicated and passionate about what I do; therefore the goal of the child would become my goal; only ending in accomplishment.
Not every method works for every child; with one exception, patience. I demonstrate and exemplify patience. If a child feels as though they are in an atmosphere where they are safe, free of ridicule and bias, then they are willing to perform. This process can be a give take scenario however. So, some flexibility is required as well, but eventually the stude ... read more

I love seeing a student finally grasp something that has been difficult in the past. All students are different, and have different learning styles. Some are visual learners, some audio learners. Some learn by doing. I tailor my teaching to the student's specific needs. I am patient and considerate. My goal is to maximize the student's potential.
I have a Bachelors Degree in General Studies from the University of Maryland which includes two concentrations: Second Language Spanish, and Human Development. I have tutored three individuals over the past five years. The first was a 3rd grader in reading and comprehension. The second student was a tenth grader in grammar and composition. And more recently, I tutored a seventh grader in second language Spanish. I have gotten good results with my students. I have been substitute teaching at Frederick County Public Schools this ... read more

My teaching style is simple. I start with the basics, then build on that each time I meet with the student. In addition, it is critical that the tutor is doing age-appropriate practice exercises with the student. In addition, there has to be a lot of variety. Students do get bored. I don't like to constantly use a worksheet. I would prefer to enhance the lesson with some hands-on activities, or games. It really makes a difference, especially with the younger students. I also believe in review, review, review. I don't want to move on unless I feel confident that the student has mastered the concept.
I began tutoring for a company called ClubZ back in January of 2008. This was a Title I program in Frederick County, and only a Title I school could participate. I had three students; a student in kindergarten needing reading assistance; a student in third grade needing math ... read more

Aware of the variety of learning styles as well as subject contents, I attempt to work with the individual students in an appropriate learning style to which the student is attuned. As an artist, primarily a visual learner am I, I value the creative concepts that can be incorporated in the tutoring/learning experience. A favorite perspective of mine is "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - -Mark van Doren
The past 8 years I have worked for the Montgomery County and Frederick County school systems as a substitute teacher in middle and high schools.. An area of extensive experience was with the special needs students at both Linganore and Walkersville High schools. I taught a class in self-esteem skills for the SUCCESS program for Frederick County. I had a fair amount of experience with the ESOL program in Montgome ... read more

When it comes to teaching, regardless of age, I find it effective to hone in on the individuals thought process to adapt my teaching style to fit with this. I feel that learning should be done in a way in which the student will enjoy themselves, and actually look forward to learning more. I myself am a very enthusiastic learner and I try to have that reflected in those whom I am teaching. From many years of working with a very needy population, my level of patience is extremely high, and I never feel it is alright to abandon the hope that one can learn. I also have gained the ability to present ideas and concepts in various ways to ensure the message comes across clearly and effectively.
One year after graduating from Westminster High School, I began substitute teaching for Carroll County in many different subjects. Through these opportunities I became aware of The Arc of Carr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While in college, I spent my time home from school substitute teaching through Frederick County Public Schools. After graduation from American University, I continued to substitute and in the fall of 2005 I took a part-time position at a middle school, teaching Theatre Arts and Music Performance Lab. While teaching, I began my teaching certification through the Maryland State Department of Education, where I completed a course called Inclusion: Making it Happen. I also taught dance at Dance Unlimited and Elite Feet Dance studios in addition to working at numerous children's theatre camps throughout Maryland and West Virginia.

More About This Tutor...

I am a firm believer that all students can achieve academic success but each in their own way. Having taught students with a range of learning difficulties, I am very much aware that each student has thier own learning style and therefore their own way of achieving. I am a very patient, easy going tutor who uses the students interests to relate to the subjects being tutored and therefore, promoting academic success.
Over the past twelve years I have taught a range of subjects including basic Math and English to students with a range of learning difficulties, including dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism. During the past two academic years I have tutored Math and Biology at a local private high school and have really enjoyed the experience. I have gained a bachelor degree in Mathematical science which involved studying two years of Biology and have a Post Graduate Diploma in Information ... read more

When I first attended college I studied elementary education. I put my education on hold to stay at home and raise my children. During that time I was a compulsive volunteer with different support groups within the school system. I decided to complete my education as my children got older and received my bachelors degree and continued to take classes so that I am now able to sit for my CPA and I have also completed the necessary undergraduate requirement in order to teach business classes. I have also been a long term substitute teach in working with special education students.
Every child can learn and children learn at different levels. A teaching style must change to meet the needs of the child because what may work for one child may not work for another. I am patient and kind with students while still being firm when teaching students. I use positive reinforcement to achie ... read more

I attended the University of Rhode Island (URI) on a full athletic scholarship (basketball). I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from URI in May of 1994. I am currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix where I am pursuing my Master of Education in Administration and Leadership. I am currently a Special Education Teacher in Owings Mills, MD.
I believe that all children can learn and should be educated in the least restrictive environment. Each child is different, with their own unique special qualities, talents and struggles. However, no matter what the difference, each child should be given the equal opportunities to accomplish all they were meant to accomplish in life. Not every student will grow up to become a lawyer or a doctor. Realistically some students will end up a trash man, dishwasher or janitor. Every child who walks through the doors of a school, whether ... read more

As a young child, my areas of interest have always been in education and art. I attended a technology magnet high school that helped me explore my skills in art. I obtained training in fine art, art history, literature, and graphic design from two different art colleges, one in which I received a BFA in Graphic Design. It was during this time that I identified my passion for literature and history combined with art. After graduating from college I became a Graph Designer, two years later I felt the desire to teach art to children. So, I enrolled in graduate school to pursue a Master's in Teaching Secondary Education, while I began substitute teaching students in grades 2-12 part-time in a nearby county. It was during my first semester at graduate school that I began tutoring and observing children in reading comprehension, and I realized how much I enjoyed working with children.
