I have experience with children from 6 weeks old through High School.As a teacher,tutor, mentor and director.I was very much driven to a high level of educational expertise.My area of expertise are students with ADD/ADHD or those who are disenchanted with learning or with school. The key is to listen to the child, find out what areas of interest they have and build on that. I have never encountered a child who did not want to read about their area of interests. I am a life coach and oftentimes will use those tecchniques such as listening and then setting the appropriate goals to move forward.I have a Master Degree,and a BS in Elementary Ed.Every child can learn, but more importantly every child/student can develop an interest in learning. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find

I have been teaching middle school science for the past eight years at a local Middle School. My endorsement is in biology. For the past four years I have been enrolled in a master's degree program in reading at ODU. This May I will graduate from that program. My goal is to teach reading and work with struggling readers. I am also qualified to tutor biology. I enjoy working with children and helping them meet academic goals. As a tutor my job would be to find out how a child learns best. Learning styles can include auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Children also need engaging,interesting, and varied activities during their learning experiences. Another key point would be to identify strengths and weaknesses and to build a plan based on that information. I feel that all children can succeed.

I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it. For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English. I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents.

I love teaching and plan to retire as a teacher after thirty years. I feel all students have potential but need someone or something to bring it out. Most of the time, students just need to know that someone believes in them.I teach through verbal, auditory, and kinesthetic modes. Every student learns differently and through different means.I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment when they are finished. My philosophy is much like the old cliche, "Give a man a fish;he eats for a day, but teach a man to fish; he eats forever. If we give students the tools to be successful, they will be successful.Positive influences in the teen years make all the difference in the adult world. I strive to make a difference. I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have taught students of all levels and ages, from the student who excels at everything and does not need to study to the student

I can best describe my teaching style as flexible. I start with traditional paper-pencil methods. If further clarification is needed I use surrounding objects or tools such as Smart board, manipulatives, different colored pencils, paper-folding or anything else necessary to try. I couple the above with questioning tactics to uncover where the missing link is for the student. Student engagement is emparitive; I watch body language and facial expressions to understand the level of comprehension and connection of the materials presented. A life-long college student, my fulfillment comes from constantly learn new ideas, from understanding the person I am teaching and by adapting my teaching to the needs to be met. The past three years have been spent as a high school Special Educator reteaching and remediating students in Algebra I and Geometry. Prior to that I taught one year as a Special

My greatest strength and tool as an educator is my ability to motivate and reinforce.

As a Certified Dyslexia teacher, I teach Orton-Gillingham multisensory curriculum to students with dyslexia and other reading deficits. My one on one tutoring is designed to get to the root of the problem by building and reinforcing phonemic and grapheme awareness using sight, sound and touch. Being an elementary substitute teacher and certified dyslexia teacher I continue my professional development in my areas of expertise. My teaching style is multisensory, utilizing sight, sound and touch. I'm very patient and I love teaching children. For me, the highlight of teaching is when a child suddenly gets that 'aha moment'; when the light bulb finally turns on and the child understands the concept. My goal is to make sure my students feel safe, important and intelligent while having fun learning.
