My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : As a dyslexic student myself, I have intimate knowledge of the possible difficulties with learning a new language.

As a student, I understand the importance of a good teacher. I always try and help the student find and correct their own mistakes, rather than merely giving them the corrections. I have found that the listening is one of the most important tools that a tutor has at their disposal: in my experience, the student knows where their weaknesses and difficulties lie, even if they are unable to articulate the problem areas. Therefore, as a tutor, I always try and listen carefully to the student and adapt the lesson to each students respective needs.
During the last two years of my undergraduate career I worked as an Arabic and Economics tutor in the Academic Resource Center at Tufts University. With respect to Arabic, I worked with Beginner and Intermediate level students - extensively using Al-Kitaab. Being dyslexic, I have an intimate knowledge of the difficulties that dyslexic students ... read more

My comments on tutoring Dyslexia : I use a multisensory approach espoused by the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction. Sight, sound, and neurological pathways to develop reading skills are utilized.

I have been a special needs teacher (k-8 moderate disabilities) for seven years, and an Orton-Gillingham instructor for eight years. Prior to my certifications I worked as a volunteer in Boston, Weymouth, and Quincy schools. I earned a Bachelor's in Literature and history in 1993, and am confident about my ability to work with all types of students in all areas of academics. I am a teacher in a substantially separate classroom for children with emotional disabilities. I also work with autistic children each summer in a social skills program. I have co-taught in the general education classroom over the years, and consider myself experienced and well-schooled in all facets of special and general education. I have also tutored children with reading disabilities over the years with great success (no magic elixir, just hard work on the part of the students and my Orton-Gillingham practices). ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In addition to five years of experience teaching high school biology, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Secondary Education and a Master’s Degree in Education; Moderate Special Needs. I am licensed in Massachusetts in Biology grades 8-12 and Moderate Disabilities grades 5-12. My experience working at a private school for students diagnosed with Language-Based Learning Disability has given me the necessary tools to incorporate study skills, as well as reading and writing skills, into the science curriculum. My experience includes teaching biology, chemistry, marine science, daily one-on-one language arts tutorials, and private tutoring in organic chemistry and anatomy and physiology.
I believe that that goal of education is to understand the world around us, not to merely memorize facts. I tell my students all the time that I do not want them to memorize anything, but I w ... read more

During the last ten years, I have taught students in the areas of study skills, test preparation, US history, language arts and ESL/ELL students learning English. I have written curriculum and supervised special education teachers working with dyslexic students. I earned my first master's degree in education, and am part way through my post-master's degree in special education (learning specialist degree) at Simmons College in Boston. I never want to stop learning, nor sharing what I learn with my students.
I am always open to learning new styles, and often take part in researching new practices. Most of my teaching, however, is based on the direct teaching model. I like to start each class with an anticipatory set, challenging students to use their critical thinking skills. Then the skill set or information set is modeled by me, practiced with guidance by the students, and fin ... read more

I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with two bachelor's degrees. One degree is in Spanish and I consider myself completely fluent, especially having spent a semester in Costa Rica. During this time I volunteered at a school teaching students ages 5 through 18 English at different levels. My other degree is in Social Thought and Political Economy which required a lot of writing, generally 15 to 25 page papers per class. It is a major dedicated to social change and I learned subjects in all areas including History, Current Affairs, Politics and Political Science.
I have been a gymnastics instructor for about eight years which has helped in shaping my teaching style. I love to push children in a supportive manner so that they can believe in themselves and truly get the most of their education. On top of teaching for the semester in Costa Rica, I also wor ... read more

I have enjoyed teaching children of all ages. I find it not only rewarding for me, but for the students who find success in my teaching expertise. Being a Special Education teacher, I have used a multi-sensory approach to learning. Children need to access all modalities (visual, auditory, sensory, tactile), because students have different learning styles in achieving goals and success in the learning process. All children can learn with the right teaching approach, skills, and materials necessary for their learning style in achieving academic success. I am available every day morning, afternoon, and evenings.
I am a teacher with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education (K-8), Masters Degree in Education and a Moderate Special Needs Certification(K-8). My teaching experience for the past 37 years is as follows: Elementary Resource Teacher (K-6)-( pull-out services ... read more

I relate well to student's,, and that younger people feel safe to learn with me. I have a strong empathy for their challenges, and know that in order to be successful it is crucial to develop relationships with my student's. Every child has a unique learning profile, and each student wants to reach their potential. Many of my students and internalize that there is something "wrong" with them. I also work as an educational advocate for students and parents, in order to assist the schools in understanding how a specific student learns. I have developed a process called "The Clarity Process", which emphasizes "getting to the heart" of the child. www.myeducationaladvocate.com.

A Little Bit About Me...

Whether I am helping a student with prioritizing assignments, studying for tests, teaching study skills, or guiding him or her process of writing papers, I strive to promote metacognitive awareness throughout the tutoring experience. Students ultimately need to develop an awareness of how they learn best and what strategies work for them. It is my job to facilitate this process while yielding improved academic results through collaboration with students along the way.
Over the course of my years as a Learning Specialist in a university setting, and as Master Tutor Certified by The College Reading and Learning Association, I have developed and refined successful techniques with students who may struggle with the following: executive functioning issues, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Asberger’s Syndrome, English as a Second Language, and various non-verbal learning disabilities. MI also have ex ... read more
