More About This Tutor...

It is important for me to determine what motivates each student to learn, what their interests are and what is important to them. I wanted the student to see how each lesson was valuable to their future success. I always got my students involved in the classroom with open discussions. Each week my students gave a five minute presentation on a subject of their choise, building their self confidence along with their reading, writing and speaking skills.
After twenty years in the financial area I went back to school to obtain a special education credential and found a passion for teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a current substitute teacher, tutor, credential student, and life long learner, I am extremely interested in the welfare and education of my students. My work history and professional encounters are extremely eclectic. This translates into the fact that I have a solid background within the realm of daily capitalism, business, and private industry, combined with positive experiences while working with non-profit organizations, community groups, volunteers, and migrant workers in various locations throughout the Midwestern United States. In the past I have had the pleasure of assisting children from diverse environments and low income families through Head Start and Migrant Day Care Programs. They ranged in ages from 7 weeks to 12 years old. As a NCLB tutor, I currently help children in grades K-12. As a substitute teacher with various school districts, I am currently preparing myself ... read more

My college studies have been in a variety of fields with the most concentration in the arts and social sciences. At the University Center for Developmental Disabilities I have gained one-on-one experience with children with autism and have learned and employed several techniques used in the Operant Conditioning model.

Such goals include, increasing expressive communication, decreasing specific inappropriate behaviors unique to each child, and improving academic skills such as reading, mathematics, and problem solving.
