My comments on tutoring Special Education : I am currently a special education teacher in the Capistrano Unified School District. I have worked as a special ed. teacher for the past 7 years at the 4/5 grade level and this year at the k-2 level. Prior to that I was an istructional assistant in special education schools for 4 years. I have worked with students with the following qualifying conditions: autism, specific learning disabilities, speech and language imapairments, OHI ( other health impairments) ADD, hearing impaired,cognitive impairments, and emotiona disturbances. My first goal is to develop a trusting relationship with my student/students, find out what internal framework they possess, and identify motivational triggers. I am a Howard Gardner proponent, the developer of the multiple intelligences theory. He states, "The quesion is not if the student is smart but how are they smart." I believe in a whole child approach. Children are not just vessels we are able to pour information into. They are unique and dynamic beings that are affected by their emotions,genetics, and prior experiences. I seek to help them develop the skills that will give them a life of the greatest choice.

My teaching approach is eclectic as every child is a different child. One approach does not work for everyone and generally speaking I use a combination of instructional philosophies. No matter what technique, strategy or approach I use, the foundation of my instruction always starts with building a trusting relationship with the child built on caring and respect.

Special Education is one of my top subjects!

I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.
I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues.

I utilize strategies that help reach all learning styles.

I have over 8 years of experience in the classroom working with students K-12 in various course subjects. I have taught in an elementary classroom setting, grades 3, 5, and 6. Currently, I work with students individually to grasp material presented in their classes as well help to ensure that all assignments are being completed and understood. Throughout those years, I have specialized in working with students who struggle with learning, presenting content in alternative ways along with using their strengths in order to grow academically.

All students can learn regardless of their learning style.

I have been teaching for 12 years. I began teaching after graduating from the University of Berkeley with a Bachelors in Sociology. I taught Reading, Math, and Social Studies as a regular education teacher until 2005. In 2005 I began to teach special education students, and this is currently where I teach. I have an Education Specialist credential and I have a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. In addition, I have VPSS certificates in Math and English. I am aware of the SDAIE and DIS strategies that assist students of all levels. My experience as a special education teacher has enabled me to teach all students on all levels. My motto is that all students can learn regardless of their learning styles and it shows in the passion I show all students.

Special Education is one of my top subjects! My current career is in Applied Behavioral Analysis and my job is to work with children who are not neurotypical for whatever the reason.

Depends on how the client learns. I spend the first few days probing based on the Applied Behavioral Analysis standard before targeting specific patterns to teach.

A Little Bit About Me...

I received from California State University San Marcos a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies in May of 2009 and a Multiple Subject Credential in December of 2009. My experience includes substitute teaching for the Temecula Valley Unified School District as well as full time student teaching at Temecula Elementary School in the fall of 2009. I also have additional experience working at a tutoring center. I was employed at Tutor Whiz, Inc; Temecula, California (Fall 2006 – Fall 2007) I taught students in grades kindergarten to 12th in the subject areas of math, language arts, grammar, writing, and science. While I was there, I created differentiated lessons and activities for individual students as well as small groups.
I enjoy working with students off all ages. My teaching approach revolves around using hands on manipulatives, student interests, and lots of patience. I believe th ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an Arizona State graduate, I have spent many years deeply focusing on English Literature. This has expanded my knowledge on the importance of in depth reading and writing. I have tutored both high school seniors and various levels of college students in English Literature and assisted them with their writings. I also have experience with creative writing and editing, during the time I spent as an intern for an online woman's magazine, Kalliope.
I am passionate about Literature and writing and am therefore knowledgeable on the subjects. I am able to assist students in these fields, however, I do believe in the importance of guiding them in the right direction verses providing them with the answer. I like to help the already existing ideas that students posses, bloom into their own creative masterpiece, instead of continuously proving them with the standard, drone ideas.

More About This Tutor...

I am a very encouraging and positive teacher. Growing up with seven siblings, I have learned that patience is the best virtue and children need a stress-free enviroment. I love to use analogies and stories to motivate children to enjoy the sessions. I always felt that it was my mission not to be the "typical" tutor; I want children to look forward learning.
As a graduate from one of the most prestigious schools in the world, I have the training and experience to motivate and improve a child's ability to learn. I have been a music teacher for four years, working with children of all ages; I am currently working with a special needs child to play the piano. In addition to music, I have written many essays and was encouraged to be an english teach by one of my professors at Cal-state Fullerton.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been an educator for close to 13 years. I've taught kindergarten, first, and fifth grade in public and private schools. I received both my BA and MA from Chapman University. I have tutored all ages for over 5 years. I am highly organized and energetic. I am an extremely positive individual and am familiar with a variety of teaching styles. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and it is the educators responsibility to determine the best way to achieve this goal.
Because I am an extremely positive and energetic individual, I believe that learning needs to be enjoyable. I believe in hands-on learning and cooperative groups. If working with a student in a one-on-one setting, I believe that the student needs to be engaged. I am extremely patient and sensitive to others needs. It is my sincere wish for all of my students to think positively of the learning ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching children and seeing their faces when something clicks in their head. This year my oldest son has started kindergarten and it has been an amazing experience seeing how much he has learned this past year. I substitute teach two days a week and I really strive to use different ways to teach the children because I know that not every child learns the same way. I try visual examples for visual learners or I try other different examples so that the children can learn in a way that suits them.
For the past two years I have been substitute teaching in the Romoland School District. I graduated from college seven years ago and after graduating I started the procedure of getting my teaching credential but never completed the process. I did, however, observe two different children in two different classrooms. I, also, worked at In-N-Out Burger for six years during which ... read more

Tutoring is a profession which I have enjoyed for over nine years, often while teaching in the classroom or online, concurrently. I was able to teach multi-subjects to college students because I excelled in all subjects myself, receiving numerous scholarship awards and honors. I chose after school tutoring as my extra duty assignment while teaching middle school and high school. I enjoy tutoring students because I experience the moment of “Ah ha, now I get it!” with them.
I am eclectic in my approaches towards teaching, ranging from Montessori and Classroom Without Walls, to Behaviorist and Cognitive approaches. I use what is observable, measurable, and works. I am always prepared to pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I always prepare additional alternative lesson plans in case an approach does not seem doable. I begin tutor sessions with interviews to assess goals. The ultimate goa ... read more
