Dyslexia is one of my top subjects!

I am a positive and caring teacher. I identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, and develop an individualized plan to support them. I believe that young learners need multi-sensory instruction to be the most successful.
I have taught Kindergarten - 5th Grade general and special education for over 20 years. My passion is helping students overcome learning difficulties. In addition to holding teaching credentials, I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham, and Lindamood-Bell. My specialty is helping elementary students with reading, but I am able to effectively teach math as well.

Reading and Phonics Specialist

I specialize in teaching dyslexic students how to read. I have my BA in English from UC Berkeley and my MA in Teaching Reading and Writing. I have been teaching systematic reading and phonics instruction since 2009, and am very passionate about teaching reading skills. I am experienced in all the major well-researched reading methodologies. With the program I use, I have watched students jump two grade levels in reading within 6 months of instruction. I teach students skills to decode words using phonics, along with the most common sight words in the English language. To improve fluency and reading comprehension, I incorporate texts that are both engaging and challenging for students into the lessons. I also teach students who struggle with spelling, helping them master the most common sound patterns, sight words and sight syllables to greatly improve their spelling. I love what I do ... read more

I am college graduate with a BA degree in English Literature and I have aspirations to be a Physicians Assistant, so my knowledge ranges from the English department to Biology and math. As a pre-Physicians Assistant, I have taken a series of science courses and have excelled in general Biology and can teach this information with clarity. I have a positive and proactive attitude that is key to motivate individuals to apply themselves. I have a strong understanding of the English language and how to write essays in MLA, APA formats. I can help your student expand their creativity and enjoy doing so while also posing critical questions for them that they can later apply to their own scholarly experiences.
I strongly believe that every individual has a different way of learning and understanding certain material. My goal as an instructor is to tap into what works for that person. I wil ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a Master’s degree recipient in English, I have developed a comprehensive background in literature and composition. Moreover, my professional history includes many years of teaching and mentoring in both in the United States and abroad, which has enhanced my ability to communicate complex subject matter to a culturally varied student demographic. In Taipei, Taiwan, I prepared, facilitated and assessed English classes for local elementary, secondary, and adult Taiwanese students. While receiving my NCLB certified CLAD credential from SDSU, I served an inner-city population of students as a student teacher at San Diego High School, during which I had implemented and practiced effective teaching strategies to accommodate students with special needs and English Language Learners. I have since earned a CSET certification in general science and have designed technologically advanced units of ... read more

Teaching and working with children has been a passion for me since middle school when I was still a child myself. My advantage of working with children this young is that I understand them better then and now as an adult so I can find an effective teaching style that will help them grow. I've also taught a variety of students from deaf and hard of hearing to ESL students and am able to easily adapt to their needs and hardships. I love children and nothing is as rewarding as watching them grow, learn and gain confidence for their lives in the future.
I am an enthusiastic and driven college graduate of two time consuming majors, BS in Chemistry and a BFA in Dance. Along with two majors, I also participated in many extracurricular activities such as working, teaching children, dancing in multiple performances, baby sitting, etc. Due to my different majors, I have broadened my expe ... read more

I tutored English and Humanities in the Academic Skills Center of my alma mater, Heritage University. I was a Teacher's Assistant at this university for two semesters and often took over for the class in place of the professor. I tutored primarily college students. My specialization was in Technical and Report Writing. I also currently tutor two minor students in a homeschool setting. One is ten years old and has significant reading delays, but has been gaining reading speed and comprehension with me. The other is 18 years old; I am helping her graduate from high school, so I plan all curriculum and tutor her in all subjects.
I am very student-centered. I believe that all students can learn any subject if the teaching style is adapted to the student's learning needs and prior experience. I further believe that learning should be fun for the student and to this end I constantly seek ... read more
