More About This Tutor...

I am a trained and experienced Orton Gillingham tutor. I have been tutoring 1:1 since 2002 in the Massachusetts and Nashua, NH area. I also tutor students with Executive Functioning disorder in study and organizational skills. My goal is to help students become self-competent and self-confident. I have been teaching for 30 years and continue to train and work to develop the very best program for each child.
I strongly believe in developing pro-active learning skills by scaffolding the student with individually designed learning strategies and leading them to feel self-confidence to be "in the driver's seat" of their educational process.

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : As a dyslexic student myself, I have intimate knowledge of the possible difficulties with learning a new language.

As a student, I understand the importance of a good teacher. I always try and help the student find and correct their own mistakes, rather than merely giving them the corrections. I have found that the listening is one of the most important tools that a tutor has at their disposal: in my experience, the student knows where their weaknesses and difficulties lie, even if they are unable to articulate the problem areas. Therefore, as a tutor, I always try and listen carefully to the student and adapt the lesson to each students respective needs.
During the last two years of my undergraduate career I worked as an Arabic and Economics tutor in the Academic Resource Center at Tufts University. With respect to Arabic, I worked with Beginner and Intermediate level students - extensively using Al-Kitaab. Being dyslexic, I have an intimate knowledge of the difficulties that dyslexic students ... read more

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I use a multisensory approach espoused by the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction. Sight, sound, and neurological pathways to develop reading skills are utilized.

I have been a special needs teacher (k-8 moderate disabilities) for seven years, and an Orton-Gillingham instructor for eight years. Prior to my certifications I worked as a volunteer in Boston, Weymouth, and Quincy schools. I earned a Bachelor's in Literature and history in 1993, and am confident about my ability to work with all types of students in all areas of academics. I am a teacher in a substantially separate classroom for children with emotional disabilities. I also work with autistic children each summer in a social skills program. I have co-taught in the general education classroom over the years, and consider myself experienced and well-schooled in all facets of special and general education. I have also tutored children with reading disabilities over the years with great success (no magic elixir, just hard work on the part of the students and my Orton-Gillingham practices). ... read more

Reading Tutoring - Wilson, Orton-Gillingham, Lively Letters

Reading intervention at Cherubino Health Center is effective and fun Every lesson is tailored specifically for each of my students to be exactly what he or she needs to succeed. Our individualized lessons are explicit, sequential, cognitive, cumulative, phonics-based, multisensory and emotionally sound. Each lesson is paced to hold the student's interest, reinforce previous skills, introduce new skills in explicit, small steps, build on strengths, and is completely positive. Reading is taught with a minimum of the “exceptions to the rules” that plague so many struggling readers. Students learn that English makes a lot more sense than most people know because it is based on predictable syllabic, spelling, Anglo-Saxon, Greek and Latin patterns. Mastery of reading is achieved because we stay with each new concept until it is assimilated accurately, fluently and permanently as we continua ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a gymnastics instructor for about eight years which has helped in shaping my teaching style. I love to push children in a supportive manner so that they can believe in themselves and truly get the most of their education. On top of teaching for the semester in Costa Rica, I also worked for a company called "Mad Science" for almost two years now. I was required to lead classes ages K-5 in an after school science program in which I was the only instructor. I believe I am fun but serious enough to make sure that work gets accomplished and that the students truly learn.
I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with two bachelor's degrees. One degree is in Spanish and I consider myself completely fluent, especially having spent a semester in Costa Rica. During this time I volunteered at a school teaching students ages 5 through 18 English at differe ... read more

I relate well to student's,, and that younger people feel safe to learn with me. I have a strong empathy for their challenges, and know that in order to be successful it is crucial to develop relationships with my student's. Every child has a unique learning profile, and each student wants to reach their potential. Many of my students and internalize that there is something "wrong" with them. I also work as an educational advocate for students and parents, in order to assist the schools in understanding how a specific student learns. I have developed a process called "The Clarity Process", which emphasizes "getting to the heart" of the child. www.myeducationaladvocate.com.

I believe that that goal of education is to understand the world around us, not to merely memorize facts. I tell my students all the time that I do not want them to memorize anything, but I want them to understand the concepts so that they can logically figure out the answers and apply their knowledge to the world around them. To achieve comprehension, I use engaging activities and discussion, hands-on learning opportunities, and visual supplements to help my students learn. I also believe it is important to learn and apply study skills to each subject in order for students to meet their full potential. I am passionate about engaging and motivating students and love working with students for whom learning does not always come easy.
In addition to five years of experience teaching high school biology, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Secondary Education and a Master’s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have over 15 years experience as a classroom teacher in English and a decade of most recent experience as an Orton Gillingham Reading Tutor/Interventionist and general academic tutor (including Writing) from Elementary through Adult. I specialize in helping the struggling reader learn “the code” of English so the barriers to reading can be lifted. I also am experienced in helping struggling readers develop fluency and comprehension skills and strategies. I am a certified Reading Specialist and English Teacher in MA.
My teaching style is both relaxed and focused. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my students and also am aware that I learn from them. I believe that goals are important in lesson planning and children benefit from structure as long as it isn’t rigid. At times it’s important to respond to the direct concerns and/or questions a student may have even if they are n ... read more
