Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Deerfield, MA

I have worked with children of all ages and abilities in a variety of settings throughout high school, college and as a certified Elementary Education Teacher and Reading Specialist for the past seven years. Currently, I am on maternity leave and am looking to provide tutoring services in the areas of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. I have been a first grade teacher for 7 years so I am very interested in working with children at the lower elementary level who may be struggling with reading, writing or math skills. I will meet with you and your child in order to learn how I can accommodate your child's needs. I will develop and implement a plan that will engage your child in learning and help them improve in the academic areas they are struggling with.

I believe I have a natural ability to work with students of all ages. Tutoring and being able to help students understand certain topics is very rewarding for me. I truly enjoy doing helping others. My teaching style is somewhat laid-back, but students know that I expect them to learn to their fullest potential. I believe in using several learning styles in the classroom and being to identify which students require different ways of learning. If something doesn't work in the classroom, I will do what it takes to make each student understand. I began my tutoring experience in the fall of 2009 with a program called Breakthrough Manchester. It serves underprivileged students in the area who do not have the resources to succeed. They ranged from grade 5 to 8. With Breakthrough I worked one-on-one with students as well as in a classroom setting in which I conducted my own lessons. I h

As I carry out my personal philosophy of education, I seek to make learning lifelong and to encourage children to become contributing and active members of our society. To that end, it is my hope to make it possible for all children to gain understanding of material, to think critically about what they are learning, and to be able to apply their learning to everyday life and to their futures. I believe it is the role of the teacher to help students recognize their abilities and lead them towards life choices that use those abilities to the fullest. Often, we, as adults, have forgotten what we learned in school. This saddens me and motivates me to teach children skills and techniques that will benefit them now and in the future. My interest in academia is rooted in my desire to help children learn and to make that learning lifelong. It is my goal to make learning fun, purposeful, and m

I am very enthusiastic, patient, and creative. I connect the child’s prior knowledge and interests to the concepts being learned. I understand that children arrive at school with varying interests, different ability levels, learning styles, and from diverse backgrounds. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. My teaching style involves a hands-on approach with many real world examples, games, and interactive activities. I structure activities with clear guidelines, model the task, and discuss along the way. My goal is to make learning fun and meaningful while enhancing their knowledge of the world around them. As a teacher, I enjoy being a positive role model. I have a BS in psychology and elementary education, which required me to take many courses in all core subject areas.

I primarily use the Socratic Method (question and answer) as my teaching style. I believe that asking students the right questions helps them to learn the information. Also, in certain instances I believe it helps the learning process if the subject matter can be related to an area of interest. I believe this can be a key component in a student's understanding of a subject. I served as a tutor, primarily for English, History, and writing, for three years while attending Southern Vermont College. Following graduation, I worked for three years as a paraprofessional for Leland & Gray Union High School. While working in this capacity there were several one on one situations similar to the relationship that exists between tutors and their students. In addition to the aforementioned subjects I tutored while in college, I also assisted students in other areas such as basic math and general scie
