I have an Arizona teaching certificate as a special educator with a reading endorsement which recognizes my special skill in teaching reading. I spent 4 years teaching dyslexic students in a resource room setting in a private school in New York before establishing a new resource room program in a private school in Indianapolis. I led and taught that program for 5 years, successfully teaching many students with a wide variety of dyslexic symptoms. Since then I have continued to research new methods and have a range of teaching tools from which I select the ones most appropriate for your individual needs. I pinpoint the specific skills that are challenging for my student and then use innovative and engaging methods to help them master those skills. I always aim to leave my students comfortable and confident in the subjects I teach them. I have taught Special Education for over 20 years

As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read many papers for friends and co workers. I have tutored many of my friends and their friends in English and writing papers. I also enjoy writing and teaching others, because I also learn from every experience that I have had with others. I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions

With my background in the field of education, I have skills that I believe you will find helpful to you and your clients. My strongest asset is my foundational gift, which is the breakdown and sharing of information with my peers and clients, and also helping them to retrieve that information fluently enough to present it to others. I built my skill levels around my foundational gift by taking courses and workshops pertaining to computers, peer advising, peer educating, communication skills, tutoring skills, reading skills, study skills, and student/community leadership. I also have access to a wide variety of community resources to help my peers and clients overcome some of the hurdles they encounter while striving towards their individual goals and dreams. All this information has given me many tools that prove useful to the student and community population at large. My passion is

I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching them to turn their lives around. I was rigorously trained with hands on experience in the Parenting Workshop Institute, and now am not only a life coach to youth, but to their parents as well. I have been trained to learn and work with all personality styles and to coach others how to get along, tolerate, and understand other personality styles with patience, kindness and love. Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality

I will be receiving my B.S. in Family and Human Development in May, 2009. I am already in the MEd program and started taking graduate classes in Spring, 2009.

In the past 4 years, I have tutored language arts, reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Since I will be a teacher in the near future, I am not hesitant to teach all subjects that are taught in elementary and middle schools. I don't believe in paper and pencil instruction only. I use various manipulative and lots of hands on acitivities. That is how I will teach in my class too. I absolutely don't believe that manipulativ

I always try to ask the student what they think they are weak in. Always try to change the teaching method so that the student does not fall in a routine every session. They sometimes decide on doing, for example, in math, inventing their own equation and participating in their own learning. I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 10 years. I teach students up to grade 12. I have been working in Canada as a tutor and worked with dyslexic students as well. I taught math and excelled myself with a high gpa up to grade 12.

When I graduated from High School and went into the job market I continued to be interested in working with children. This interest lead me to taking psychology and education classes from various colleges over the years and ultimately obtaining a B.I.S degree from A.S.U. In addition, I have worked in the field of education for over the last 12 years and I obtained an Elementary Montessori Teachers certification. My interest in working with children has lead me to working on a post-B.A. from Rio Salado. I still plan on obtaining a masters degree in ether Education or Psychology. In addition, over the years I have worked with many different types of children on a whole group setting all the way to one on one tutoring. My style of teaching depends upon the child's way of learning. In my role as a Montessori teacher I typically presented lessons to the child in way that would best suite thei

My experience with Special Education has taught me that all children can learn and be successful in academic activities. Some children need explicit instruction and other children need to create their own meaning from academic information. I believe that children need to be invested and interested in the academic material in order to learn. I enjoy working with children and helping them become successful. All children can and want to learn, some simply need more individual attention than others. I graduate from ASU with a BA in History, a BS in Family Studies, a certificate in Nonprofit Management, and a minor in African American Studies. I was accepted to Teach for America and taught in Phoenix this past year. I taught 7th grade learning disabilities and will teach 8th grade learning disabilities in the fall. I have taught reading, writing and math but have tutored my students in

Most of my professional career has involved working with Special Needs individuals: 3 years directing, teaching and training in a community skill center, and a thriftstore; 14 years as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor helping teenagers and adults obtain job training and/or schooling and job placement on a case by case basis; and then, the last 4 years as a special education teacher; the first year was as an elementary school substitute, and the last 3 was teaching Junior High English (written language) and Reading. I tutored my students after school and between classes on a regular basis and excelled in working one on one. I believe in starting each session with an example or review which allows the student to connect the task at hand with their prior homework/knowledge/experiences/interests, etc. To do this it is imperative to conduct an interest and needs assessment (mostly informal
