My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : Explicit instruction targeting phonemic awareness and recognition of language patterns and rules, using the Orton-Gillingham method.

I use my students' areas of strength and areas of interest to address their areas of need. My style is systematic and structured while allowing for flexibility as students progress.

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : Orton Gillingham Certified Dyslexia Tutor

I am a reading tutor certified in the Orton Gillingham approach of treating dyslexia. I completed the initial Orton Gillingham certification program through the IMSLEC/Chidlren's Dyslexia Center. My training included 45 hours of classroom instruction and 100 hours of practicum. The Orton Gillingham approach is widely used for individuals who have difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling. The approach is multi-sensory, structured and sequenced, explicit, cumulative, diagnostic, and prescriptive. Previously, I graduated from Ohio State University with a Master's degree in Teaching ESL K-12. I have five years of teaching experience.

Dyslexia is one of my top subjects! As an Intervention Specialist of 18 years, my specialization is the intervention of reading disabilities and dyslexia with students in grades K-12. I have completed Basic and Advanced courses through the Orton Gillingham Academy and am certified as a classroom teacher with over 300 hours of students instructional time using the Orton Gillingham method of instruction.

With the appropriate instruction, I believe that all students can progress and build confidence in themselves as learners. It is my job to bring quality instruction and positivity to the lesson, with the goal of creating a genuine learning experience that will increase achievement in the classroom. It is important to me that students can be themselves during the lesson and communicate what they need to be successful. Beside data that is kept during the lesson, I take into account student needs and goals. Overall my teaching style is relaxed yet structured.
For the past 18 years I have provided special education services to students in grades K-12. After further specializing in the intervention of reading disabilities and dyslexia, I exclusively instruct students using the Orton Gillingham Method. My experience ranges from working with kindergarten students, to high school student ... read more

Special Education Teacher

As a current student studying special education and literacy instruction, I have had the opportunity to learn the newest and most recently researched "best practices" in teaching. I am currently certified in Special Education. My teaching experience has been significantly enhanced by my experience as a mother of a ten year old with special needs. I believe in creating a positive, professional atmosphere in a tutoring setting. I assess students based on specific needs expressed (by the student, parent, and/or teachers) and plan my instruction based on the data provided in assessment. I use researched methods in my instruction with a focus on direct instruction, modeling, guided practice, and continuous informal assessment. I have high expectations for my students as I believe that my job is to facilitate learning to each student's potential. I have worked with students of all ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently pursuing my BS degree in business management and finance. I have completed all of my math requirements and passed calculus with an "A" average. I home school my 9 year old daughter and really enjoy watching her learn and grow.
I can teach many different styles to suit different learning styles. I truly believe in the mastery technique. My 9 year old has ADD and severe dyslexia so i have to employ many different styles to meet her needs. Being a great teacher is all about knowing and understanding your student and how they learn.

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to devote the day to getting kids interested in learning while covering the topics necessary. I cater to each child's needs and abilities and try to use their strength's to help their weaknesses. For example when teaching foreign language, if a child is not as strong in language as they are in math, I try to use formulas to portray language in a more concrete manner. I enjoy working with children of all ages and find that they enjoy working with me due to the enthusiasm I show them.
Since high school I have been aware that I wanted to teach. I am currently pursueing a Masters of Education, and finishing one of my specializations, (French). I have taught for several businesses. I also taught for the Worthington Public School system as a volunteer and teaching asssistant.

More About This Tutor...

I have a Masters Degree as an Intervention Specialist with a with a BA in Language Arts and Math and an Associate in Engineering Technologies with a Math Minor.Presently I am a certified Intervention Specialist highly qualified in all subject areas. Previous experience includes: - Advanced math tutor at Clark State - Advanced math teacher at Emmanuel Christian Academy and Ridgewood School - Computer Aided Design Instructor at the Greene County Career Center (Adult Ed.)
My teaching style changes to fit the requirements of the subject and the needs of my students. I find that presenting and explaining works best for language arts and history, concept teaching works best for science, and direct instruction works best for mathematics. I also take into account the learning preferences of my students: left or right brained, visual, spatial, or kinesthetic because each prefers dif ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I attended The Ohio State University and got my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Sciences with a concentration in Early Childhood Development. After that I continued my education at Capital University to obtain my teaching license for PK-3 regular classroom education, as well as Intervention Specalist K-12 and a Reading Endorsment K-12.
I believe that every child should be given an equal chance to learn. If that means teaching a lesson three different ways to be sure to reach all my students, sometimes that is what it takes. Being flexible is very important in teaching, as it is important to be able to adapt to each student and each class, year to year. I think that all studnets can meet their potential if given appropriate chance and I strive to give students that chance.

I am an Ohio certified teacher with 10+ years of teaching experience. I have taught in both public and private schools, in elementary and middle schools.

I have edited and contributed to an Algebra Readiness program for a local editorial company and have edited and contributed to a Mathematics Intervention program, grades PreK-8. Currently I am a project editor for the English Language Development section of our Language Arts program.
My teaching style varies as much as the students I teach. My goal is to present material in perhaps a new manner which often means a non-traditional approach to learning. Ultimately I would like for all of my ... read more

I feel very strongly that every child has the ability to learn when they are given the right encouragement. While working on my Japanese minor I quickly discovered that finding a method that works for an individual student is the most important part of studying productively. I feel that my fresh, creative outlook will supplement the classroom experience well and offer alternative methods to learning that may not be available at your child's school.
While I have not tutored academically in the past, I have taught my community's equivalent of the DARE program to fourth grade classes for two years and have also taught art lessons to children of all ages.

I believe that all children should receive the extra help that they need. Often time in the classroom, a teacher does not have the time to give the support of the needs of each student in the classroom. Teachers and tutors should try their best to make sure they focus on individual needs of the students so that they can help them succeed.
As a recent college graduate, I feel that I have received the formal training necessary to become a teacher. I have obtained a BS in Early Childhood Education. Over the past two years I have also spent time tutoring elementary school children in the subject of reading, and also spent about 3 months working one on one with various students in a nearby school district.
