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

My teaching style is fun: relaxed and engaging for my students and for me too. I am serious about giving my clients the best and richest learning situation as possible. I use a modality designed just for that student and perhaps not offered at school. Since I am in a one on one setting I can ideally focus on just that one student's personal needs. I communicate clearly with all stake holders to ensure I am meeting the learner's needs and expectations. I know some of our relationships will be short term to get past an academic challenge and others may be longer to meet your needs. Whatever the length or circumstances I want it to be the best, positively memorable and educationally worthwhile experience for my student.
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 ... read more

Special Education is one of my top subjects!

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 instructional piece, I have designed, authored and implemented curricula in all of the above areas.
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 a ... read more

My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have experience volunteering in an after-school program with children with learning disabilities and with MR/DD individuals.

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 like he or she is an active and capable participant in learning the material. I also believe in leading by example and allowing the student to use me as a resource for reviewing their work.
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 ... 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

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.

I am currently employed as a preschool teacher. I have a great passion for teaching and fostering the growth of students I work with. As a stay at home dad for 8 years I have gained a whole new understanding of development of the individual. I believe we are all unique and with that comes an individual learning style. I will work with you to find that and fit it to you individually. I have worked in classrooms interpreting, tutoring, and volunteering for the last 15 years.

I began working in the school setting in February, 2002. Initially I worked as a teacher's aide in the special education (K-5) classroom environment. Shortly after, I began to tutor after-school hours for one of the special needs students. The "parent network" took off and soon I was tutoring five students per week. In 2004, I returned to school for my masters/teacher credential program. Upon graduation, I worked for two years as a program director at a before-and-after school program and two years as a creative movement/dance instructor in the Vancouver School District.
My teaching style is to help make student's successful by understanding their learning style. I have had the good fortune of working with myriad learning styles in a special needs environment, (in the home and classroom) which runs from autistic spectrum disorder to talented and gifted.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with children in multiple environments for over seven years. In my interactions with each child, I have customized the way I communicate and work with them to best suit their individual learning styles and needs. I love working with all children and believe that they are all capable and intelligent. I also believe that children retain more if they feel confident in their surroundings, if they are actually enjoying themselves, and if they are encouraged by a positive person. My goal when working with children is to provide these assets to learning so they will feel good about themselves and assist them in excelling in their goals and education. Through a prior job at a school for children with Learning Disabilities, I saw first hand how essential it is for a child to be in a positive learning environment and to receive tools that help them "learn how to learn". I believe eve ... read more

I am a people person. I love children, I love creativity, and I love being helpful and useful. I believe everyone is unique and creative in their own way and that everyone has a little writer hiding inside of them, waiting to be discovered and tell the world their stories. I believe that reading and practicing writing is the best way to improve your craft. Being inspired from famous writers and wondrous stories is the key to opening up the writer within you.

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching philosophy is first to have the knowledge for the subjects. Then, I think you need to understand the youth learning styles and to find out where they are with their knowledge and then begin from there. Certainly some refreshing maybe necessary, but most of the time the youth is behind so the teaching would focus on helping them reach their potential and moving forward.
During the summers of college I was trained in Project Read and organizational skills. I then tutored youth from grade school to high school in math and science from grade school math to algebra and geometry the same for science. I worked with the teachers to determine when assignments were due and worked on planning with the students to plan out how and when to work on projects to complete them on time. Also, from 2000 to 2007 I was a youth advocate which involved teaching career readiness classes, tutor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been very passionate about teaching struggling students, particularly in the area of reading. From 2000-2004, I taught struggling 8th grade readers and could see the impact that being behind in literacy skills has on students. Although I had already returned once to PSU in order to add my special education endorsement to my teaching license, I decided to return again to PSU and complete the Graduate Reading Program. I have also worked as a Title 1 Reading Specialist at the elementary level as well as a supplemental services provider within the public school setting through No Child Left Behind. Throughout the last 10 years, I have tutored students at both the middle and elementary school level in writing, spelling, reading and math. I am very driven to help struggling students be successful in school, as I had a child who struggled and I believe if given the adequate amount o ... read more

In order to put myself through my college education, I worked nearly full time as a tutor throughout the duration of my college career, continuing past graduation. Academic-minded, I graduated at the top of my class as a valedictorian candidate which is an affirmation of my ability to use critical thinking and creativity with success. In my tutoring experiences, I specialized with students that had severe learning disabilities ranging from ages 6-18 in subjects including mathematics, science, Spanish, English, social studies and history as well as test preparation and study skills.
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 m ... read more
