My comments on tutoring Writing : I worked as a teacher in a private school for children with dyslexia. My position was as a Language Fundamentals Teacher and I was trained using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching. This is a multi-sensory approach and very highly regarded as a successful approach for children with dyslexia and reading disabilities. It includes tutoring for reading, reading comprehension, writing, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and other skills related to English basics. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Human Development from Vanderbilt University with a specialization in Special Education and a Master's Degree in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. Both of my educational careers involved extensive training related to infant and child development, special needs and high-risk infant, child, adolescent, and family populations, and internships within numerous developmental centers, schools, and hospitals.

I have over 30 years of experience with infants, children, adolescents, and families, including work with infants and children in development of age appropriate skills. Much of my educational background revolved around varying disabilities, their behaviors, and their causes and effects. I have also had substantial experience working with special needs populations in the areas of developmental delays, medical, emotional, and mental health needs, working in teaching, clinical, supervisory, case management, and service coordination positions.

I have been a Literacy Coach for 6 years. I am trained in a variety of reading and phonics programs. I have taught grades K-4, reading, and have tutored students Pre-K through 5. I have taught in Florida, Wyoming, and South Carolina. No matter where I have taught, my students have been successful, because I take them from where they are to where they need to go!
I make learning fun! I try to make it as practical as possible. I realize I may need to teach a skill in a couple different ways for the student to grasp it.

More About This Tutor...

I have been pursing my degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of South Carolina. I chosen to take a hiatus from the University so that I can gain more experience working with young children in an educational setting. During my time at the University I gained valuable knowledge and experience with developing lesson plans, assisting teachers and interacting with young children. I want to use my academic experience and love for children and their parents. I am also looking for an environment to increase my knowledge and grow professionally. I also will be receiving my Associates Degree in Arts, May of 2010.
I love working and being with children. I believe that all children learn new things in their own way. I am very patient and out-going. My main goal is to motivate and provide the best teaching possible.

More About This Tutor...

Having earned a bachelor's degree in Theology and Apologetics with superior academic achievement,I have challenged myself academically, and developed excellent writing and argumentative skills. I have written extensive research papers, and successfully defeated many opponents in classroom debate. I served as a tutor for Homeland Park Elementary for one year during my college career.
There have been numerous studies showing that different types of learning exist, and it is my belief that each individual student needs to be taught through adaptive teaching methodologies. I believe that everyone is unique, and each student needs to develop their own style of learning. It is the job of the educator to discover those different styles and implement a teaching method that is most advantageous to the student.
