My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : 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 in a wide variety of settings. I have tutored about 100 students in a wide variety of subjects, using my deep knowledge and understanding of how we humans learn and retain information and skills. I am friendly and approachable, quickly establishing a positive rapport with my students that enables me to demand excellence with a willing response.

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.
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 earned a double degree, a BS in Special Education and a BS in Elementary Education. I have taught Special Education for 24 years in grades 1-8. I taught one year of Kindergarten. Students in my classes were learning disabled and mildly mentally handicapped. Classes were small with an average size of ten students at a time.
I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am patient, easy-going, and polite. My goal is to provide the best education possible.

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 perso ... read more

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 informally) at the beginning, and along the way, in order for me to be the best facilitator. Next, I ask critical thinking questions for each task at hand, and give choices of possible answers if needed. I give daily assignments for accountability, if the student needs to finish assignments on their own time. I am very sensitive to feelings, patient in interaction, and adept at using active listening skills.

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.

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 manipulative are for fun only and paper and pencil is the only way to teach a lesson plan. I have created many different lesson plans in the past. I use different manipulative when I teach math such addition, subtraction, fraction, decimal and so on. I use pattern blocks, base ten blocks money etc. If I am teaching writing then I like to use lots of examples and help the child think instead of thinking for the child. I help them think by asking questions such as how, when, why etc. We will always have at least 1 kid struggling with different subjects. I always try to find what the child is interested in the most and then incorporate that in every lesson plan. For example, I have worked wi ... read more

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.

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 their approach to learning. For example, if that particular child was a more hands on type learner I would make materials or present the lesson in a manner to include something that he or she could manipulate. My goal in education is to provide the best type of learning to match your child's way of learning. I attempt to do the best that I can for any child that I work with. I do believe that all children really want to learn especially in the right circumstances.
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 de ... read more

Since I have a degree in special education and ESL, I have used many different methods of teaching. As a teacher I see myself as a facilitator. I want my students to be in charge of their learning, not me. I often ask a student “leading questions” instead of just giving them the answer. I also consider the audience when I am teaching. I ask myself...Are they familiar with our customs or not? Do they know our idioms or not?
I have a MS in Varying Exceptionalities. I also have 18 hrs of ESL. Currently, I am working on 18 hrs of English. I have taught pre-school through adults. I have taught many different kinds of students. I have taught international students, ESL students, and native speakers of English. I have worked in pre-schools, public schools, private schools, language schools, and colleges. I have tutored many different kinds of students from foster children to adults.

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 dire ... read more
