Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Chula Vista, CA

I have my authorization in autism. As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years. I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.

I have worked for many years with children who have various problems in speech and language - working with voice, articulation, receptive/expressive/written language and reading.

I have experience teaching and tutoring at various levels and locations, including several countries. Am flexible as to learning materials and methods depending on your time, availability, budget and resources. My main concern is how YOU can learn and retain better. Each student must understand (before integrating) their own strengths and weaknesses into their study skills and become a systematic achiever. I will assist and teach you how to empower yourself in the chosen topics. You will gain confidence in what you know (where you can excel), who you are (what drives you), what you really want (what profession/path/trade inspires you), and how to get where you want to be by creating and implementing a step to step plan to your goal(s)/success.

My work has been based on observation, close consultation with families, formalized testing, and experience. I enjoy both individual and group work. I am also very tuned in to families, as my own daughter has a severe/profound hearing loss from meningitis as a baby. Helped establish and develop the practice area of Early Intervention. Most of my clinial experience has been in the school setting - grades pre-k through seven. I've worked online as well, with students located at school or in their homes. Individual and group lessons offered in the areas of language (receptive, expressive, pragmatic/social), fluency, articulation. I particularly enjoy working with children who have what was once called Asperger's Syndrome, children who have receptive/expressive language issues which hinder their learning, children with fluency problems. Often, as I no longer practice speech pathology,

I try to provide a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere by getting to know each student as much as possible.

I enjoy young people and helping them on their road to success. I have worked with all levels of special needs students and look forward to assisting in their learning experience.

I have always believed, in order to be a good teacher, you must teach to the varying needs of students and realize, not all children learn the same way. I am very versatile in my teaching strategies- if a program isn't working, I rely on data and feedback to adjust my teaching. I am also very creative and will strive to make learning challenging and fun! I have always enjoyed working with kids- it is rewarding to see young students experience the learning process. I've been a special education teacher for the past 3 years in a large school district in Omaha, Nebraska. There, I worked with all types of students with varying learning styles and disabilities. I lead many interventions and small groups in the areas of behavior skills, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and mathematics. I am trained in several intervention programs such as Do The Math, ABLLS, and Start-In. I already have

I have been a credentialed teacher for 4 years. I work primarily with students with moderate/severe disabilities. Previously, I was a teacher's aid, tutor and daycare worker. I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles. I prefer to provide students with hands on and/or visual tools during learning when possible. I like to make the educational topic meaningful and interesting to the student.

I have taught all core subjects plus art history for over 20 years using various state mandated materials and supplementals I purchased through special ed catalogs. Student outcomes were best with the supplementals due to limited attention span and high interest-low level materials. I use various methods to determine mastery- I create my own written or verbal assessments, writing assignments and have students maintain learning journals. I have a background in educational psychology which is useful in dealing with students with behavioral issues. I work through positive behavior supports, humor and style to motivate the student to understand the need to learn the core subject matter in order to proceed through high school. I am excellent at reading the needs of the student and creating lessons that are relevant, interesting and fun.

I have worked as a special ed. teacher for the past 7 years at the 4/5 grade level and this year at the k-2 level.

I have worked with students with the following qualifying conditions: autism, specific learning disabilities, speech and language imapairments, OHI ( other health impairments) ADD, hearing impaired,cognitive impairments, and emotiona disturbances. My first goal is to develop a trusting relationship with my student/students, find out what internal framework they possess, and identify motivational triggers. I am a Howard Gardner proponent, the developer of the multiple intelligences theory. He states, "The quesion is not if the student is smart but how are they smart." I believe in a whole child appr

I believe there is nothing more satisfying than watching students succeed. As a teacher, I strive to make that happen for every student. I love working with children and teens, especially when I can make the experience of learning enjoyable and gratifying for them. I try to develop lessons that interact with the material as much as possible based on the learning styles of my students, and adapting the material for individual students when necessary. I also strive to go beyond the subject matter of my lessons. In my opinion, the best teachers provide students with skills and knowledge that will allow them to achieve any academic and career goals. Most of my experience working with students comes from being a teacher. After receiving my degree in Psychology, I joined Teach for America and spent my summer designing and executing lesson plans for a Chemistry class. The following school year,

My passion is helping people overcome obstacles in their lives. For this reason I attained a B.S. in Psychology and a M.S. in Clinical Social Work. I excelled academically while working on both degrees. These contributed to my skills in working well with people in various roles, especially in educational and clinical settings. I have many years of experience instructing and educating people of all ages in various subjects. In addition, I have experience working in special education settings for teens. Currently, due to a work-related injury, I am taking a break from full-time work. Instead, I am an independent contractor for tutoring services and love working with adults, teens and kids. I love to teach, and I enjoy working with all people from any age or background. I am a creative, empathic, patient, professional and trustworthy tutor. I believe that everyone can learn in an env
