HELPING CHILDREN REACH THEIR POTENTIAL!

I use multi-sensory programs like Project Read, The Wilson Program and mostly Orton-Gillingham. I have training from the basic level through to the advanced level in Orton and many years of wonderful experience!
I've earned several awards for my work with dyslexic children including an award from the past governor of Michigan.

I've had several articles published on the topics of juvenile delinquency, learning differences, early recognition of learning differences and many others. I've been an adjunct professor at The University of Michigan, guest speaker at local and national conferences, and a teacher consultant for many years.

More About This Tutor...

I am all about positive feedback. I think it is extremely important to point out when people do things right, and not just when they do things wrong.
I am currently in school to become a middle school language arts/social studies teacher. I am about to enter my junior year of college. I have volunteered in middle school classrooms. I have been doing one-on-one care with individuals with mental/physical disabilities for the past year and a half working for the Arc of NC. I have volunteered as a tutor at the Pullen Hope Center in Raleigh, tutoring adults trying to get their GED's.

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate in one of the top liberal arts colleges in the nation, I received an education that enhanced my skills as a writer, as a leader, and as a thinker. I worked as an assistant teacher for the Spanish department where I conducted speaking drills to improve the proficiency of Spanish for elementary level students. I also frequently led class discussions to garner confidence in speaking Spanish. During my senior year at Davidson College, I researched and wrote a thirty-five page thesis regarding the portrayal of women in two Latin American dictatorship novels. I currently work in the mental health field providing primary care and guidance to youths. I enjoy sharing with them the knowledge I have gained throughout my life.

A Little Bit About Me...

The last six years I have taught using a most effective multi-sensory method of instruction for children with language-based differences, both as a full-time teacher and a part-time tutor. I possess excellent communication, computer, organizational, and teaching skills. I’ve taught in a variety of situations from elementary to high school levels in both private and public school settings. I have tutored in an after-school reading clinic, as well as in home settings. I've held social work positions working with children considered “at risk,” educationally and/or behaviorally.
The visual-auditory-kinesthetic or VAK method of instruction is a hands-on, child-involved method that reaches students with all types of learning needs. It is my primary teaching strategy utilized. I find it important to match reading material,(utilizing both student ability and interest levels,)to promo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I obtained my licensure through NCTEACH in Specific Learning Disabilities. I am Highly Qualified by way of Praxis exam. I have taught grades 6-12 in almost all disability identifications primarily math and language arts; however, have supported various other subject areas.
I believe that all students, regardless of gender, socioeconomic environment or ability, can learn and should be challenged with creative and applicable opportunities to achieve their best. Understanding that not all individuals learn in the same way, at the same rate or retention level, my responsibility as an educator is to create a safe learning environment that facilitates academic, social, and emotional growth that is developmentally appropriate. This enables those students entrusted to me to become active and contributing members of the community and encourages life-long learning.

I have worked with a large spectrum of skill levels & motivations, & have developed skills to meet all levels. I have extensive experience working with learning disabled children, & many of my strategies are geared to diverse learners. I have mainly tutored upper level/motivated students, but I try to fuse my methods together. I discuss problem solving techniques, word problem approaches, patterns, non-calculator skills, & vocab in order to promote self-confidence and understanding of their weaknesses/strengths. I encourage them to ask questions, interrupt for clarification, & to feel comfortable with me. I am known amongst peers as having excellent rapport with students of all social groups, and being respected by them, not just liked.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in listening and taking the time to figure out what works well and what doesn’t work for each student. I believe that people have many different learning styles and it is important to get to know the student in order to teach them well. I am very patient and comfortable with a diverse group of people. I also think that in order for people to learn, material must be presented so that the student can internalize the ideas and express the new ideas by reflecting on their life and their experiences. In order for many children to want to learn, ideas and educational materials must fit their identity so that they are not as threatened by them. Education should be fun; growing is a wonderful experience and children as well as adults can be re-awakened by it and motivated to be the best they can be.

A Little Bit About Me...

I think that in today's public education system, with ever-growing class sizes some students get thrown to the wayside. These students need a more personalized learning plan that offers them head-to-head or small group discussions. I can relate to the child who remains silent because he doesn't think his question is smart enough. Subsequently, that child starts getting left behind little by little until they feel completely lost and abandoned and become disillusioned with the whole education system. My hope is to convince some of these children that they can make their educations work for them and maybe even become the child in class that begins to want to help others learn and grow.
As a high school student, I was very active in extracurricular activities. I participated in the rotary club, volunteering at local soup kitchens. I was also a member of the Newspaper, Quiz Bowl, Robot ... read more
