Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Castroville, CA

I rely on motivational strategies to encourage positive student behaviors by being positive myself and through the following strategies. When possible I allow student choice for what the student wants to work on. A student can finish an assignment in what order makes sense to him as long as he finishes. Or he can break up how much of each assignment he wants to do. I also use flexibility in my teaching methods. I have experience working with student who do not tend to learn very well from traditional teaching methods of mostly verbal or written directions. I teach by breaking up the steps of what is expected and by using manipulatives, small white boards, or graphic organizers. I hold two part-time jobs in the area of education right now. I am a resource teacher in a middle school where I help special education students and their peers in the general education classrooms to complete clas

In college, the focus of my degree was creative writing and social action. I gained extensive experience researching, writing narrative and informative papers and determining how to use the information most effectively. My creative work has been presented locally and at international conferences. After finishing my BA in Human Communications, I realized I wanted a better education for my daughters than the local school district could provide. I began an in depth study of educational philosophies and concluded that homeschooling would be in their best interest. Through educating them, I realized that I have a love for teaching. Over the course of several years, I have tutored children in creative and non-fiction writing. I have also tutored children with dyslexia using the Barton System. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. All children learn in their own way. My job as a te

I began teaching in a second grade classroom. After receiving my Master’s Degree in Special Education, I taught at an inner city shelter facility. Shortly thereafter, I taught online for a cyber charter school and tutored at Huntington Learning Center. I have recently taught math at the junior high school level (for 5 years), while coaching softball and basketball. Between all of my teaching experience, I have taught grades K-12 and many different subjects. I enjoy all levels of students and most subject matter. I do favor mathematics and have a fondness for students with disabilities. I am firm, fair, and fun. I believe in building upon a student’s strengths and strengthening their weaknesses. I like to teach to the individual student’s learning style. I achieve this by using differentiated instruction, concentrating on the individual’s favorable learning style. I may incorpora

I am very passionate about working with children of all ages bringing positive change to their learning development. I demonstrate flexibility, patience, compassion, and empathy. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I worked as a Bi-Lingual Aid Tutor for the Morgan Hill Unified School district for 3 years. In my position as Bi-Lingual Aid Tutor in the Migrant Ed program I provided tutoring assistance to children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade at Nordstrom Elementary. In addition to tutoring I also administered student assessments including pre/post testing, tracking scores, recording daily attendance, and student progress. I also worked at Live Oak High School Migr

After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts. I have taught English at the middle and high school level at high-achieving public schools in various parts of the Bay Area. I am particularly skilled at teaching students to construct persuasive, expository, and analytical essays, and at teaching students the fundamentals of grammar, mechanics, and usage. I am also available to assist in preparing for standardized tests such as the CAHSEE and the SAT. I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with students so
