Blueberry House; Preparing Today for a Successful Tomorrow

I have taught for 30 years. Five years ago I began tutoring when my daughter was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder. I feel like I can do more as a tutor than a classroom teacher. My heart lies with these kids and I want to do everything I can to help make them a success. I create an individual course of study for each child based on their learning style. I help kids understand their homework and teach them how to study so they get more out of the time they are spending in their school work. I teach reading comprehension and fluency. My students typically see a two to three year jump in grade level after just a few hours of tutoring. I tutor children with ADD, dyslexia, sensory disorders, dysgrahia, autism, aspergers, and other learning disabilities. If you want only the best than call Blueberry House.

The Tutor that is Your Perfect Fit!

I am extremely individualized in my approach; by creating a Plan for each student based on a careful and non-threatening assessment of his/her needs, strengths and challenges. I feel very strongly about authentic and credible teacher reinforcement for every increment of effort and progress made toward each objective and goal within each respective student's Plan. I am also ardent about incorporating a method of Self Reinforcement for the student so that he/she can feel proud and successful about task attempt and/or completion; regardless of ultimate teacher or institutional feedback.
I have taught and tutored at all levels ranging from Elementary through College in both "Mainstream" and "Special Education" environments. In addition, I have a great deal of experience teaching and tutoring ESL and Law Students at the college and post-graduate levels. In conjunction with the instr ... read more

Preparing Today for a Successful Tomorrow

I love teaching and working with children. I tutor full time. Teaching is my passion. I can set your child on the road to success. My students see entire grade level jumps in just a few hours of tutoring. I believe all children can reach their potential if they are given the appropriate tools and learning experiences. I use manipulatives and games to help make learning fun and to reinforce concepts. I offer a relaxed and gentle approach to learning that takes the child at his own pace and gives him every chance to succeed. I tutor students in Writing through the college level. I had my first story published in a children's magazine at the age of 10 years. I still publish articles today and I'm now working on a nonfiction book that I hope to get published soon. I take students through the five stages of writing a paper. I teach them how to write good topic sentences and how to support ... read more

Let's start working together to reach your goals of success!

Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of working with various cultures, ages and achievement levels. Due to my certification and years of experience I've taught every subject area in grades K-8, worked with high school students in language arts and sciences, assisted with study skills and test preparation and taught reading to adults as well as other college level classes. I have a reading endorsement and a counseling psychology certification so I am versed in Special Education issue also. My satisfaction comes when my students understand a concept, gain confidence as a learner and a person and reaches their full potential. For the last two years I have been involved in tutoring and I find it even more exciting and satisfying.
My teaching style is fun: relax ... read more

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I believe my volunteer work with children and my advanced degree in psychology are advantageous for assisting individuals with ADD and ADHD.

I have tutored children off and on since I was in high school. More recently, my time has been spent volunteering with The Giving Tree, where I tutored inner-city children after school and helped organize activities (museums, zoo, etc.) on the weekends. I am currently in the final stages of my dissertation for a doctorate in psychology, so I am always actively learning, too. My aspirations are to become a professor in higher education upon acquiring my Ph.D..
I think teaching styles should differ based on the preferred learning style of the student. The teaching style should play on the strengths and preferences of that particular student. That being said, I foster a student-centered approach to learning. This approach encourages the student play an equal, active role in the learning process, rather than a passive role. A cooperative approach is important so the student can feel li ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The biggest motivation of my teaching career is to hold a high standard of expectation. I have a MA in Special Education, and a BA in Business Administration. I am adding to my teaching certificate an additional endorsement in middle level and high school math. I have home schooled all four of my children. Two of my children have BA degrees and another is currently in college. I teach an afterschool study hall where I tutor students in math, reading and writing as well as science and social studies.
Teachings students one-on-one is the love of my life. I see progress in this format that is outstanding. Students can make several levels of progress in a short period of time. Providing a positive, constructive and enthusiastic environment is foundational to the success of the student. The teacher also must show by their actions that they are very interested in the success of the stude ... read more

My passion for numbers and formulas has taken me on an incredible journey. I graduated from Western Oregon University in 2007 with a BS in Business. From there I was able to have the opportunity to work as a Financial Accountant for the next 2.5 years.

My math and advanced formula skills were recognized by Senior Accountants and Managers and has allowed me to help other Accountants resolve complex issues.
I love helping people achieve dreams and goals. I practice what I preach and throughout my life I had to overcome obstacles to reach personal goals that I set for my self.

I enjoy working with children. I am patient and versatile. I accept the challenge of adjusting teaching methods and adapting activities to accommodate students with a variety of needs in order to meet the objectives of a behavioral or educational plan. Every student is unique, having different needs and different learning styles. My goal is to help your child succeed in their academic world.
While working as an Instructional Assistant in public schools, I tutored many students with learning disabilities who were struggling in school. I obtained a bachelor degree in Liberal Studies with a focus on the special needs of students in elementary and middle school. In an effort to help my students to succeed, I have tutored students in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. I have also assisted students in the management of attention difficulties, organizational and stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since earning my degree in Math in 1984, I have worked in the Software development field. The last 15 years I have been an independent consultant. I have 2 college age children and 2 elementary age twins. My college age children have both taken math through calculus so I have had many opportunities to tutor them over the years in advanced math. I also did formal math tutoring all through college. I am also a very good writer and would feel comfortable tutoring writing and reading. I have taught Sunday school for 4 years so I do have experience with creating curriculum and teaching in a class setting.
I have always loved to teach and have been told by my children that I should have been a teacher. When it comes to math I have found that most people who have trouble with math have simply missed some fundamental along the way. It is extremely rewarding to figure out what that is and f ... read more

Every child has a window of time when learning to write and read is at its peak. I’ve observed this can begin as early as three or four years of age. Yet the child who discovers his/her fascination with language at the age of eight is no less gifted. So I believe patiently leading children through auditory, kinesthetic and auditory learning channels will grant them opportunities to learn rapidly. Methods like Nellie Edge’s “Early Literacy” or the “Right to Read” program offer them these chances at appropriate ages in the classroom. Tutoring offers exceptional chances at all ages because nothing matches one-on-one assistance.
The voyage of deepening a child’s enthusiasm to write and read well is so delightful and satisfying! This revelation didn’t come in my writing courses in high school or college but when I taught my four children to read and write. Now that they’re all in colleg ... read more

I have extensive experience as a provider and manager of human services in the field of mental health, and am recognized for my contributions to the field of children's mental health both locally and nationally. I write items for the Association of Social Work Boards licensure exams (LCSW) in order to keep my hand in cutting edge clinical topics and to contribute to my first love: clinical services.

My belief system says that ALL students need to be set up for success, as success breeds success. Throughout my teaching experience, I have found that students need a different model of learning from the 'one-size-fits-all' delivery system, which requires that all children learn the same thing at the same time regardless of what their individual needs are. The best way to describe my approach to teaching would be 'complex instruction', which falls under the umbrella of 'differentiated instruction'. Complex instruction is a strategy that was developed to address the various ranges of academic abilities while being culturally and linguistically heterogeneous. Equity of learning opportunity for all students is the objective of this teaching strategy.
I have been very passionate about teaching struggling students, particularly in the area of reading. From 2000-2004, I taught strugglin ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I benefited from the liberal arts education I received from the University of Puget Sound, which offered a diverse selection of classes and an exploratory environment in which to pursue my studies. For two years, I studied Chemistry and Biology while also taking classes in the Humanities. I eventually majored in International Political Economy and obtained minors in Spanish and Latin American Studies. During my undergraduate years, I studied in Oaxaca, Mexico and received a grant for summer research. Upon graduation I spent a year doing anthropology research in Peru on a Fulbright grant, while also becoming fluent in Spanish and learning a third language, Quechua.
I am here to help students improve in specific subjects and excel academically as a whole. My greatest attributes are patience, perseverance, and hard-work. I always arrive on time and I take work and school seriously. I ... read more

Teaching students of all levels is a passion of mine. From my many years of experience around children, I have found that I do not have just one teaching style. Each child is unique and therefore the approach I take with each child is unique. I have had the greatest success in trying different learning methods to tailor each educational program to meet the unique needs of each individual child. My educational background and prior tutoring history have taught me to analyze not only how the child can process the information itself, but to look at the environment and social factors that can affect learning and academic performance. By using this holistic approach, I have found that I have been able to effectively and positively affect each child I have worked with.
In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my c ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My love of reading and writing has led me to excel in 2 languages. An English major at Carleton College, I mastered the art of putting thoughts on paper to persuade, compare, or explicate; as well as how to read for meaning. Later at the Sorbonne in Paris, I transferred these talents to French. I have since taught and tutored reading, writing, and speaking in both languages in the U.S. and abroad.
My teaching style is active and enthusiastic. I show students clues and shortcuts in all sorts of subjects so that learning can be fun and even easy. I am tolerant and patient, while at the same time I request diligence and assiduousness. I revel in the success of my students, thanks to their efforts and hard work. I love to see students finally understand something they find challenging.
