Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Gilbertville, MA

Wilson Reading Program - Level I Certified Hello parents and potential students. My name is Wendy. I am a Certified Wilson Reading Program Instructor and mom of two wonderful elementary aged students. I began my journey into the Wilson Program with a desire and dedication to help my oldest child, who is dyslexic, with his academic struggles, specifically with reading and spelling. Fascinated by the process (a very systematic and specifically structured program) and excited by my son's progress, I decided to work toward becoming Wilson Certified and tutoring other children who need help with reading. I believe that all children can learn to read and with patience, practice, and even some fun I can help them reach their full potential. The progressive successes they will achieve with this program will build their self-confidence and self-esteem; I look forward to watching that happen f

Wilson Reading, Orton-Gillingham and Brain Gym® The great advantage of individualized reading tutoring is that my students have my undivided attention, expertise and the promise that I am diligent in using and seeking the exact interventions that they need to learn with confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Wilson Reading is a system of reading tutoring, based on Orton-Gillingham and years of research and experience, that organizes the English language by its six syllable types and spelling patterns. It is recommended for students from grades two through adult who need a higher level of reading intervention than is possible in a regular classroom setting. Orton-Gillingham is an approach to reading acquisition that is well researched and takes the whole child into consideration.

Brain based instruction focusing on individual learning styles. I taught for seven years in public education. My experience spans from grades 5-8. In that time, I worked with a diverse population with varying needs. My classroom was inclusionary which required modification of instruction, and learning about a variety of learning disabilities. Many of my students were ESL, as well.

I believe all children can learn, but each in their own ways. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the child a structured environment where they can find their greatest academic potential and work on what they want to do when they leave school. I am a firm believer in learning through self-discovery and to a lesser degree drills. I am also a firm believer in transition from school to school and from school to career. I believe all children can find their potential if they are given the chances, time and experience they need. A few good teachers can change a child’s life and educational potential. . I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. I enjoy teaching and working with all children (especially the E.D., at- risk and problem students) and available to help your children find academic success.

I have been working in Special Education for ten years, four years as a tutor at Nashoba Regional High School and six years as a teacher. I have earned my Masters + 30 in my field. When I started teaching, I was working with students with emotional/behavioral disabilties at Fitchburg High School, but for the past four years I have been working at Leominster High School as a math inclusion teacher in the Algebra I and Geometry classes. I have experience tutoring students in Geometry and other subjects as well outside of school, for I have been tutoing for various districts for at least nine years. I generally work with students with special needs in the regular education classes. What I often find in Geometry is that many of the students are lacking or forgetting the basic Algebra skills that they need to succeed in the classroom, so I do a lot of remediation, if necessary. I like to

My ethos for life and for teaching is to always be interested in the continuous overall holistic development of myself and my students. I believe that what and whom children encounter at a young age shapes what they will become when they grow older. Consequently, it is vital that children are given appropriate motivation and encouragement, which will enable them to become life-long learners. My experience to date has taught me that teaching is an exceptionally demanding, yet rewarding profession. I understand that it is necessary for me to continually improve my skills to help achieve my goal of being a successful teacher and tutor. My time spent in schools, and with children, has confirmed my desire to develop my career in education. The skills I have acquired during my course, has provided me with an excellent introduction to elementary school teaching. I am well prepared for a car

As a college and graduate student, I strongly believe in education and the fundamental purpose it serves in life. My strong believe in education and my drive for success has enabled me to earn a dual BA degree in addition to a Masters of Communication, and currently in progress a Masters in Teacher Special Education. Through my years in school and as a teacher, I am well versed in grammar skills and rhetoric due to writing an extensive number of research papers as well as creative writing pieces. As a teacher, I feel the most important element is being able to relate to your students. Realize that each student is an individual, with an individual learning style is what makes a skilled and successful teacher. I passion is teaching and the kids I teach. Each child is capable of learning, but in different ways. I try to appeal to which way a student learns best- whether this student i

Knowing how one learns: metacognition, is so important for students. I encourage all my students to strive to work collaboratively and to be caring, intelligent individuals. Every student can learn. Each student has individual strengths and areas needing strengthening. I completed a degree in Learning Disabilities/Written Language at Curry College. In addition, I completed an Internship in Learning Disabilities through Lesley University at Pine Ridge School in Williston, VT where I tutored remedial reading at the summer school for five summers.

Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and how to teach it to meet a student's specific needs and learning style. In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor. Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three years an
