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.

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.

Instructional Assistant for the Institute of Effective Education 2000-2003 (behaviorist model)serving emotionally disturbed adolescents Instructional Assistant for Discovery Hills Day Treatment Center 2003-2005 school based program working in tandem with counseling facility. Special Education Teacher, elementary level, in self-contained classroom serving mild to moderate 2006-present.
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 have worked as a special education teacher and a special education school psychologist. I am very familiar with the evaluation process and the IEP process.

I am very aware of the necessity of adapting my teaching style to the learning modality of those I am working with. As an educator I evaluated students to define how they best process information. They may be auditory learners, visual learners or they may use a combination approaches. I am very patient and understand that everyone can learn. I believe in setting goals and evaluating progress to establish new goals when necessary.
I have taught in Michigan and in California. I also have credentials as a school counselor and psychologist. I have experience with all aspects of the special education system from the K through grade 12 level. This incudes testing, placement and re-evaluation and the IEP process. I also have worked at the post secondary level and am familiar with academic and financial aide requirements.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.

My teaching style and influence on children is from a positive nature. I always encourage the individual to feel comfortable to make mistakes. I believe in making mistakes and knowing what was done wrong a person can learn and grow. My confident friendly personality allows children to feel at ease, as I am providing a respectful, patient, and constructive learning environment. I believe all children are able to achieve better results with a little practice and different ways to view the same material. I strive to allow my students to become successful while having fun learning. I wish for them to have a positive learning experience as I have myself.
My education experience has led me to have a passion to learn. I always had the pleasure to tutor my peers throughout my school years. I love helping and watching people get to the moment where everything is becomes clear. I have grad ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 goal is always for the tutee to become an independent learner.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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.

Serving as an elementary and middle school principal for 14 years as provided me with an in depth understanding of the teaching/learning process.Each student has unique talents and interests that should be uncovered to increase motivation for learning.My extensive experience working with students 1-1 and in small groups, has given me the ability to quickly diagnose and provide an action plan to coach and motivate your child to academic success!
Connecting with students using positive reinforcement,humor,and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation techniques will facilitate a strong teacher/student relationship. Your child will enjoy the "learning time" spent with me as we improve self confidence and academic success!

More About This Tutor...

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 time I helped different employees learn different aspects of the job. I have three children ranging in ages 5 1/2 through 11 months who I teach every day.
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 ... read more
