My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have 10 years experience working with students with disabilities ranging in ages from preschool to high school. I have worked in both self-contained and inclusion settings with students with mild to severe disabilities.

I believe in focusing on the individual needs of each student to help them become as independent as possible both academically and socially.
I have taught for 10 years in the field of Special Education. I taught on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona for my first three years. My classroom consisted of preschoolers with moderate to severe, multiple disabilities. After moving to Chicago, I helped develop and taught in a program for students with moderate cognitive disabilities at the high school level for 5 years. My current placement is in a public Montessori program, providing push-in/pull-out services to students with autism, mild cognitive disabilities, and learning disabilities. I have significant experience in behavior management, assistive technology, and professional collaboration. I have worked closely with therapists and psychologists to provide the best services for ou ... read more

As a teacher, one of the most important things I can do is create a community of learners, which helps me determine how to assess my students. Creating a community of learners allows me to open up the door of connection between my students and myself.I have earned a degree in Journalism and finishing up with my degree and certification in English and Secondary Education. During the last eight years, I have been tutoring inner city students in English, writing,math, and reading.
One of the greatest joys of teaching is seeing each one of my students grow as an individual and academically.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I can remember.
