My comments on tutoring Special Education : Any age student functioning at K-3rd level. Full knowledge of IEP's.

Every child and adult learn differently. Finding the specific tools that match the individual person is an amazing feeling and gives the student success so they experience less frustration and enjoy learning more.
I have been teaching and tutoring for 17 years. I am certified by the school board of Brevard County in Education K-12, Special Education, Art,and hold a Bachelors Degree. Although I enjoyed my classroom, I love the one on one relationships built by tutoring. I have been blessed to have had some very special teachers who gave me confidence,success,and a lifelong love of learning and can't wait to inspire that in your child.

Having parents that place a great emphasis in achieving higher education, I graduated from high school with the age of 15 years old and was accepted in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, for the degree in Life Science Biology. While studying in Taiwan,I offered individual tutoring in Spanish and English for college students and adults who wanted to improve their knowledge on the language. After two years of studying in Taiwan, I decided to expand my horizons in education and applied for Brigham Young University Hawaii for the major of Psychology.During the time I spent studying in Brigham Young University Hawaii, I worked for the Counseling Department as tutor for a variety of subjects from Foreign Languages (such as Chinese and Spanish) to General Education (such as Psychology, Biology, History, Art, etc). I also worked as an Academic Advisor’s Assistant, where I could help my ... read more

My comments on tutoring Special Education : All ages, including physically challenged students. Contact to discuss your individual needs.

I have extensive experience as a k-12 and adult teacher of all subjects (excepting advanced math and science) and as a teacher of technology to all ages, including technophobes:) I offer specific subject tutoring, as well as project-based enrichment programs tailored to a student's interest. My experience is wide-ranging. I have taught home school groups in mixed age groups, created a wilderness eco-learning program in Hawaii, and managed a computer lab for middle/high school students that also trained teachers and developed technology-based curriculum. I love to teach:)

Special Education is one of my top subjects!

I have over a decade of experience working with both regular education students and those with exceptionalities. I have worked with elementary and middle school level students in all subject areas. My strengths are in reading and math. I am ESOL endorsed and can help children struggling with English experience success.
I believe students have different learning styles, and I can adapt lessons based on their individual style and needs. I can challenge students without overwhelming them and causing balking or "burnout". I quickly establish a rapport by making the student feel at ease. By identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses I can help them without wasting time on skills they already have.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am passionate about helping students to achieve academic success. I love the challenge of discovering the strategies that best match a student's individual strengths and learning style. I provide a positive learning environment that fosters the student openness and trust necessary for growth and learning to occur. My students have described me as “respectful,” “helpful,” and “caring,” and they recently responded with a 98% teacher effectiveness rating on an anonymous public middle school classroom climate survey. I have seen in my career that all students can achieve their academic goals when given appropriate, positive, learning experiences. I am thrilled to be entrusted with the awesome responsibility and privilege of teaching.
As a professional educator and life-long student, learning has been my constant priority. I have an M.S. Education, an M.A. Counselor Education, and a ... read more

I do not have a particular teaching style. I am trained to teach different styles, but it is my goal to get to know every child as an individual and figure out the best way for that child to learn. I also realize one type of style may not be the best for every subject matter. After having 3 children of my own, I can say without a doubt that every child is different and what may work for one will not work for the other. Unfortunately, teachers today have class sizes that are to big to take the needed time to work with students individually and learn what each student in their class needs as individuals.
Ever since I was in sixth grade, I have had opportunities to help children learn and see the benefits first hand from what I taught them. When I graduated from high school, I followed a different career path, but after a terrible car accident that left me unable to fly airplanes, ... read more

My belief is that all students want to learn. We as teachers must find the way they need to learn. I truly love to teach. I try to relate to the whole child and find which learning style meets his or her needs. I am extremely proud of the response I have received over the pass 20 years.
I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I started teaching in the fall of 1985 in Tampa. After that first year I moved and I taught a few years in Ohio. In 1989 I moved to Brevard County and worked as an elementary school teacher. I received my degree in Educational Leadership in 1996. I now tutor and work part time with small groups.

I am currently working at Challenger 7 Elementary School as the only Guidance Counselor. I have created a study group club with students that need study skills, organizational skills or assistance getting their work done! I have been employed as a substitute teacher and mental health counselor in the past. I enjoy working with students because a lot of their stress is due to frustration of not knowing a concept. If you work with the students on their frustration you begin to see improvement in their grades!
Very hands on type of person. I am the type of person that needs visual reminders to get my work done. I know that everyone learns in different capacities so I try to incorporate that into my teaching style. I work on identifying the students learning style and then we go from there.

More About This Tutor...

I am proficient in finding new and different ways of presenting and explaining information in a way that is customized for the student's particular needs of understanding and comprehension. Each student has a different strength in learning and I enjoy finding what works best for that student and seeing their self-esteem boosted as a result of their success. I am compassionate in working with youth, especially those who need extra guidance and enrichment. Every child needs the kind of support that says “I believe in you! Keep on going! I see your effort!” Encouragement means acknowledging progress—not just rewarding achievement. It's this positive attitude and encouragement that makes the biggest difference in the life of a child.
As an ESE Instructional Assistant at McNair Magnet School I provide one-on-one assistance to students. I also hold a tutoring position there where ... read more
