My comments on tutoring Special Education : 3yrs experience mostly with autistic

I would describe my teaching style as dynamic, creative student-centered
I've either taught or tutored in some form or fashion for over 17yrs now. I've had ages 3yrs to 22yrs old covering all manner of subjects and hobbies. One of my most rewarding experience was with an 18 year old special needs 10th grader ready to drop out of school. We met 2-3x a week for 6mths. In that time he raised his GPA from 1.2 to 2.7. He completed his 10th grade year and went on to take and pass the G.E.D. the following year.

Struggles with math or reading

My teaching style can fluctuate depending on the child and what needs to be accomplished. My goal is to build confidence in the student through small but very important accomplishments. I use a combination of technology and good ole pencil and paper to teach anything from math to reading.
Teaching children is something that brings me joy. Watching them make strides and connections in their learning makes me smile. I currently teach preschool to children with many different cognitive, behavioral, medical, sensory, and emotional needs. In the evenings and occasionally I get calls from my niece to help her via face time with her algebra. We have been doing this tutoring for 2 yrs.

I enjoy working with all students and have tutored students for the past 4 years in the AVID program. Additionally, I tutored and served as a writing to coach to high-school and college students during my off time. My focus is helping students understand how to aptly address course assignments, how to structure and assemble essays, term papers and research papers and how to decipher themes and motifs in classic readings for assigned papers. My method is to guide students to becoming skilled writers through the editing process and use of an explanatory narrative. I believe the best learning is taught in a manner that encourages and supports students to find their own way as life-long learners.
For almost twenty years, I’ve worked with students as a K-12 as a tutor, coordinator, counselor, and advocate in a variety of educational environments. I am committed to the belief that achiev ... read more

I have learned most people achieve best in a fun and interactive environment. Learning games, role modeling, flash cards, art, and music are a few tools that are used. Another important component is trust and teamwork. Once students know you have their best interest at heart, trust is built. In a one-to-one situation, a teacher must emphasize teamwork.
I have a BS from LeTourneau University in Business Management, and have more 48 college hours in Science, English and History. I have been accepted in an Alternative Path to Certification program with A+ Texas Teachers. I have completed the 80 hours training required by Texas and passed the NCLB tests: TExES Science 116 (4 -8), TExES Special Education 161 (EC-12), and the Arizona Biology 07 (9-12). My classroom experience was acquired during 3 1/2 years of teaching science in a high risk high school in Phoenix, AZ. At the school I ... read more

As a native of Germany and a certified German teacher I am very familiar with teaching the German language and its customs. I am very proud of my heritage and would like to share it with those that are interested. I have taught German at the High School as well as the elementary school level with great success. I am also certified in ESL and enjoy working with non-native speakers.
I am up to date with the latest teaching styles such as TPRS but also use traditional methods. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I received my undergraduate degree and proceeded to begin my career as in inner city kindergarten teacher. I took several years off to start my family, and returned for fourteen more years as an inner city ESL/kindergarten teacher. I worked with children from many diverse backgrounds and I am knowledgeable in the multicultural field. My experience is best summarized as focusing on a language rich, child centered environment that facilitated learning using phonics, hands-on mathematics, learning centers, and an integration of arts, science, social studies, with a thematic approach.
My philosophy of my teaching style can be described as hands on, creative, child centered, yet with an emphasis on the traditional core subjects: reading, and math. My goal as an educator is to teach my students to develop a love for learning and a curiosity about the world around them. A child's char ... read more
