My comments on tutoring Special Education : Taught Special Education students a variety of subjects for 2 years at Douglas County High

Have 2 years of real world experience working with engineering clients while in college. Completed 145 Credit Hours and my degree at Colorado school of Mines (CSM), which won "The Second Best General Engineering School" award in 2015 (the year of my graduation) in USA national rankings.

It is NEVER too late to learn, nor right to learn only 1 way

I utilize kinesthetic learning and encourage parental involvement within the tutoring sessions.
I summarized my basic experience in the Policy Statement. To expand on that, I have over 20 apps on an android tablet that are for clients who need early intervention in the areas of educational subjects, speech/breathing techniques, social and emotional recognition and assistive communication. I have a child safety filter infiltrated into the device so that the clients receive only what is appropriate to their learning. They cannot access the settings on the device, nor the regular web. I honor parents' input on what they think is appropriate for their child.

More About This Tutor...

I am a very organized and methodical teacher. It is very important to me that the student masters the required content area before moving on to the next skill. I like to have a warm and open teaching environment.
I have taught for 5 years now and have taught middle school math, language arts and social studies. I have also concentrated in the area of special education in regards to my teaching experiences. I have taught at both the middle school and high school level. While I was working on my teaching certificated, I volunteered much of my time in elementary schools.

More About This Tutor...

Ever since I could set up my dolls and play school with them, I have wanted to become a teacher. I graduated from Loras College, a private liberal arts school in Dubuque, Iowa, with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I taught at St. Mary's in East Dubuque, Illinois for six years. My principal nominated me in 2004 for the Rotary Excellence in Teaching Award for the State of Illinois. Throughout my college experience and years at St. Mary's, I was also a lead teacher/tutor at Prodigy Child Development for their after-school and summer programs. When teaching 5th/6th grade at St. Mary's, I also taught 7th/8th grade English. For the past two years, I have been substituting full-time K-12.
I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. At the beginning of each school year, my goals and standards are clearly set and all students know what is expected of them. R ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

I like to facilitate my students learning my providing them with the instruction, materials, support, and professional knowledge they need to succeed.

More About This Tutor...

After earning my bachelor's degree in History and Political Science, I went on to complete the teacher's certification program through the University of Phoenix. I began teaching middle school Language Arts, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies at a small private school in Tucson, AZ in 2001. I have worked with students at various levels in all subject areas both as a teacher and as a tutor.
I love children and believe that every child can learn. In my classroom, I provided a multitude of diverse learning experiences for my students - from experimentation to cooperative learning. I support the multiple intelligences theory and always attempted to accommodate students' various learning needs. For example, when finishing a novel, students were given options for completing a book project: traditional book report, building a model of a favorite scene and presenting it to the class ... read more

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

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a firm believer that learning should be fun! Research shows that children learn best through exploration and play, so I strive to create this climate during all of my teaching endeavors. In addition, I spend time getting to know my students and forging relationships with them; this helps me connect with them and adapt my teaching strategies to what is most enjoyable for them. I wholeheartedly believe that each child holds the potential for the same educational gains -- I help them achieve these gains by being a partner in learning rather than a micromanaging educator.
I began my teaching career as a Certified Cognitive Skills Trainer, educating children ages 6 to 17 years. For a year and a half, I helped those students improve upon their reading, comprehension, math, attention, reasoning and logic, and visualization skills. Often times, I saw my students achieve 5+ year gains. ... 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. I was accepted to Teach for America and taught in Phoenix this past year. I taught 7th grade learning disabilities and will teach 8th grade learning disabilities in the fall. I have taught reading, writing and math but have tutored my stude ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Most of my professional career has involved working with Special Needs individuals: 3 years directing, teaching and training in a community skill center, and a thriftstore; 14 years as Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor helping teenagers and adults obtain job training and/or schooling and job placement on a case by case basis; and then, the last 4 years as a special education teacher; the first year was as an elementary school substitute, and the last 3 was teaching Junior High English (written language) and Reading. I tutored my students after school and between classes on a regular basis and excelled in working one on one.
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 in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

Currently I am in two graduate programs in the medical field, naturopathic medicine and acupuncture. I feel very confident in my math and sciences. I have had past experience tutoring students at a local Learning Centering in Scottsdale where I worked with children from early elementary to high school. I am currently dealing with a special needs child as well so working with children at various cognitive levels is not problematic. I am very patient and aware if the student is following me during the explanation process.
My teaching style is dependent on the student. With some students I find that they just need initial guidance from me before I let them be independent with their assignments. With other students I have found that they need me to hold their hand, so to speak, during the whole process. When that is the case I make sure that the student does not feel inadequate by h ... read more
