It's Time to End the Struggle

I am a Special Education Teacher with 7 years of teaching experience. I have taught children of all ages. I have worked with children who have behavioral and emotional disorders and children with learning disabilities. I also work with adults who have developmental disabilities. I have taught and substituted k-6.
I am very patient and kind. I believe in using manipulatives and hand outs. I believe that it is important to focus on a persons strengths in order to overcome their weaknesses.

More About This Tutor...

Since 2001, I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages and abilities. In particular, I have gained significant experience working with students who benefit from alternative learning strategies due to diverse learning styles, developmental issues, or learning disabilities. I find it to be very rewarding to develop new strategies to help students with differing learning styles or abilities master a topic or improve upon their reading abilities. Most importantly, I enjoy the opportunity to help all students reach their potential in a variety of subjects to include: all levels of Biology; Geology; Earth Sciences; Statistics; Elementary Science, Math, and Reading; Collegiate Writing Skills; and Research Methodologies.

More About This Tutor...

I have completed over 1,000 field experience hours working with students with special needs throughout the course of receiving my special education degree. During these experiences, I have worked with many different students with a wide variety of disabilities and learning difficulties ranging from ADD/ADHD to students with severe needs such as autism and Down syndrome. Throughout my experiences, I have created and implemented lessons and behavior management interventions to address each students individual needs and goals outlined in his/her IEP. I recently worked with a student during the previous summer with a developmental delay. I created and implemented fun lessons and games that addressed her current IEP goals and objectives. I am currently working with a 1.5 year old child with Fragile X syndrome and am mainly working on developmental therapies with him at this time.

My comments on tutoring Special Education : Seven years of teaching experience in kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms teaching students with special education needs.

A wide variety of educational experiences as a teacher, from international schools in Scandanavia to a one room schoolhouse in rural southeastern Montana. My experience in the diversity of students I've taught is similar to that of the places I've taught. Have worked with students with behavior disorders, special education needs, as well as English language leaners.
Interactive to show students how learning can be fun. I typically include a game in sometime I'm doing, to either grasp their attention or give them something to look forward to, or a little of both.

Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have taught Special Education reading and writing for 14 years in a public school district. I am retiring and June and would like continue helping struggling readers and writers

I am a very patient with students, trying many different ways to try to get them to understand. If I need to use phonics or other word recognition strategies I will.
I have taught reading for the last 17 years to struggling readers in a public school. The students that I teach have shown improvement in reading and writing on the state achievement test for the last 10 years. I enjoy working with struggling readers because when they get it it is very rewarding to know that in some way I have helped them enjoy reading.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create artworks and gardens.
My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident th ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to be an encourager and to build children up in their educational experiences. I believe in small portions, using this as a learning tool. To tackle tough learning experiences we take one piece at a time and keep the end in site. I love to help children celebrate their successes big and little. I believe that: children need positive role models to build their confidences while helping them succeed not only in school but also in life. :) I would love to have the opportunity to share my skills.

A Little Bit About Me...

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this to be a great responsibility and a great reward. We are responsible to see that every child in our reach feels safe, valued, and capable. We receive great reward in watching the light of learning beam in a student's eyes, possibly for the first time. I will encourage and guide all my students to reach their maximum potential. I hope to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of their future. I believe this brief quote puts everything we do as tutors, teachers, and educators into perspective: "In 100 years from now, it will not matter what type of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank...but that I was important in the life of a child."
I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out ... read more

I have graduated from Iowa State University with a major in Finance and minor in Statistics. I have a strong background in math and have taken up to Calculus II. I have experience tutoring Calculus and Statistics at the college level for five semesters. Working with students is something I really enjoy. I have experience working with a non-profit organization at the college level and another one at the elementary school level. I also have mentored children and worked with them at my churches.
Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working full time in the corporate has fine tuned interaction skills that I have been able to utilize when teaching early morning seminary classes as well as weekend nursery and primary classes in our Church. I believe that the importance we place on education our children now will benefit our world in their future. Children take in all the world presents to them and by providing positive, correct learning principles, their potentials for good are endless.
Teaching has been a lifelong avocation relating from elementary education through seminary level theology for high school students. Interaction with infants through young adults, to include disabled youth, in a part time teaching environment, has brought many satisfying teaching memories. I have had the opportunity to instruct mainly in religous studies and preschool crafts for the past 30 years and have enjoyed all levels of stu ... read more
