Special Education is one of my top subjects! I have been a special education teacher for 15 years and a special education administrator for 5 years. I have worked with students that have struggle severely with learning. I am very patient and will try many techniques until children learn in their style of learning. I believe the key is to help children find the way that they learn best so they can then use that method to make learning easier moving forward.

I have been a Special Education Teacher for 15 years and an administrator for 5 years. I have taught at both the elementary, intermediate and high school levels. I have worked with students who have been severely cognitively disabled and those that have had multiple attention and behavioral concerns. I am very patient and have been able to create systems to provide structure to keep kids on track. I always want children to know what to expect and have a structure in which to be successful.
I believe my patience and creativity allows children to feel comfortable with their own learning needs. I work with them and help them find their unique learning style. We then build on that style to build their confidence and ability. All children can learn once we find their unique learning "channel".

Special Education Teacher/Reading Specialist

I have been a special education teacher for 12 years. I recently received my Master of Arts in reading instruction degree. I have had a lot of success teaching students how to read. An example of this is: I started working, for 600 hrs (pull-out and push-in) a week, with a 2nd grade student at the end of January 2007. When I began working with him, he could only read 13 words. By the end of May, he knew 49 words
My teaching style is to find out what works best for the student and to use it that way.

Fun & Engaging Experienced Math & Science Teacher ??

I love to teach/tutor math and science and to bring joy and excitement to the learning process. I use a variety of strategies including math manipulatives and kinesthetic movement to help my students understand the concepts and relationships inherent in mathematics. My goal is to inspire your child to learn on their own and to develop the skills to be self sufficient in their math and science learning, and so I hope the time comes when my services are no longer needed and your child is self sufficient.
I am a middle school math and science teacher in a top school district with experience in grades 5th through 8th. I have experience working with a wide variety of students ranging from students with difficulties in understanding mathematics and students with learning disabilities to advanced learners.

More About This Tutor...

Each student is unique. Therefore, I use a variety of teaching styles, strategies, methods and techniques depending on the individual's needs and abilities. A special needs student may need hands on lessons or visual learning activities. Someone else may be an audio learner. I analyze the situation, differentiate between teaching strategies and implement the most effective one. My success goes beyond the actual lessons or my experience. It's is due to the fact that I truly love teaching, thrive on the positive interactions and maintain high expectations for myself and the student. I am very flexible, patient and knowledgeable. I strive to meet the needs of the students in order for them to be successful and confident.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a life time learner and had been learning all my life by attending classes, reading books and attending workshops. My most recent tutoring, last winter season; really had opened my eyes to the needs of these children and I was amazed how I was able to improve their reading comprehension to a higher level than I expected. I love to teach reading & math for K-12 kids, being an analytical person; as I was a Chemist. I think I found my niche in tutoring, using variety of experience and knowledge I gained in my continuous studies, self-discovery, daily life encounter and employment. I love children, am a good listener and very sensitive to their needs. I treat them as my own and I want only the best for them.

The past two years I am teaching home-schooled students introductory New Testament Greek, beginning and second year Latin, and Greek mythology both in my home and a classroom.
