I have an Arizona teaching certificate as a special educator with a reading endorsement which recognizes my special skill in teaching reading. I spent 4 years teaching dyslexic students in a resource room setting in a private school in New York before establishing a new resource room program in a private school in Indianapolis. I led and taught that program for 5 years, successfully teaching many students with a wide variety of dyslexic symptoms. Since then I have continued to research new methods and have a range of teaching tools from which I select the ones most appropriate for your individual needs. I pinpoint the specific skills that are challenging for my student and then use innovative and engaging methods to help them master those skills. I always aim to leave my students comfortable and confident in the subjects I teach them. I have taught Special Education for over 20 years

I love to see the success in children's eyes. I am patient and kind, but have big expectations. I believe in active engaged learning and using higher levels of thinking when possible.Having a special education background, I believe all children can learn at their own developmental rate. I celebrate even the smallest success and truly mean it. Even though, I have been in administration, I continued to teach in classrooms, mentor and tutor students. So often, the appreciation of the students and parents has been afforded to me. My Bachelor's degree was in Special education. I became certified in elementary education in Arizona. I taught school( 1 year in high school, 2 years in 1&2 combo, 1 1/2 years in self contained special ed grades 5-8(relocated, 9 years in grade 3, 2 years in grade 4. At this point, I was encouraged to go into administration. I attended Chapman University and receive

My passion is to help others obtain what they need to achieve their goals as they reach for their dreams. I am interested in utilizing the skills I have acquired during my academic and employment career journeys. I work with both children and adults, most especially with special needs. These include but are not limited to; language acquisition, special learning needs, skill acquisition. It is my desire that you out grow me and pass on to the next level. With my background in the field of education, I have skills that I believe you will find helpful to you and your clients. My strongest asset is my foundational gift, which is the breakdown and sharing of information with my peers and clients, and also helping them to retrieve that information fluently enough to present it to others. I built my skill levels around my foundational gift by taking courses and workshops pertaining to comput

Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality and learning style. I have found that when there is relationship and trust between the mentor and the student, not only does the student learn the information more effectively, but as the mentor, I am able to teach and speak more clearly. Rather than lecturing or preaching at them about what I think life should be like for them, I take them hiking, out to eat, to movies etc. I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching the

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am patient, easy-going, and polite. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I have earned a double degree, a BS in Special Education and a BS in Elementary Education. I have taught Special Education for 24 years in grades 1-8. I taught one year of Kindergarten. Students in my classes were learning disabled and mildly mentally handicapped. Classes were small with an average size of ten students at a time.

I have been teaching and tutoring students for over 10 years. I teach students up to grade 12. I have been working in Canada as a tutor and worked with dyslexic students as well. I taught math and excelled myself with a high gpa up to grade 12. I always try to ask the student what they think they are weak in. Always try to change the teaching method so that the student does not fall in a routine every session. They sometimes decide on doing, for example, in math, inventing their own equation and participating in their own learning.

As a Graduate student in Special Education, I have learned that there are many different ways to approach the English language. I have extensive experience in writing papers and the rules of the English language. I proof read many papers for friends and co workers. I have tutored many of my friends and their friends in English and writing papers. I also enjoy writing and teaching others, because I also learn from every experience that I have had with others. I have a passion for education. I believe that children can learn without even knowing it! Children love to play games and I make teaching like a game for them, so they have a great time and they are learning. There is substantial information that suggests that children retain knowledge if they thoroughly understand it and if they are having fun learning it. I haven't met to many children that don't remember rules and the directions

I have tutored for Title I Schools (k-8) in the Dysart School District since the beginning of 2008. I have also worked as a Special Ed assistant. I have experience working with students grade level k-8. I specialize in working with learning disabled students in the areas of language arts and reading. I hold a bachelor's degree and I am also a licensed speech language pathology assistant. In addition, I have my Fingerprint Clearance Card, CPR/First Aid Certification and a clear TB test. I usually tutor one on one and in small groups. I work with a variety of students, grades k-8, some who have learning disabilities, some who have physical disabilities, and others who are academically behind. In all cases, I believe in positive reinforcement and keeping my students motivated and excited to learn. I also believe in building confidence in my students because wanting to learn is the first

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

I am a life long learner, but would not be if it were not for passionate and dedicated educators I have been fortunate enough to be inspired by. Now it is my turn to pay forward my passion and expertise in science. It is my personal belief that material, particularly science, should be presented in several ways: theoretical, practical and with implications. By providing a well rounded description of topical information in relation to the "big picture" students are better able to process and evaluate information. Manipulative or illustrative assistance is key in providing effective instruction in life sciences. During my involvement with the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Office Training Corps, I contributed 2,000 hours of community enrichment education and tutoring to at risk and low income youth.

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 students in

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 degree f
