My comments on tutoring Special Education : I have taught many different special needs classes in the public schools such as ADD/ADHD and high functioning Autism, high functioning retardation and behavioral problem students. Each student needs a different approach to learning. None can be lumped into one classroom and must have individual attention.My teaching methods recognize the whatever each individual student needs to be able to focus and learn to study the best.I approach each student as if they were not a special education student, but merely a student who needs a bit of extra attention. They get rewards like stickers for good achievements. I encourage parents to be involved in their child's on going education as much as possible with weekly assignments the student must follow through on to receive the stickers, but the parents absolutely MUST be involved to help with these assignments. i always give the parents a daily assessment of how the student is doing.

3 years experience as an educator in the Copperas Cove Independent School District. 2 years experience working independently as a tutor in all core courses with grades pre-K through 6th grade.

I hold an MA in Education and Counseling, a BA in Socialpsychology and an AA in Early Childhood Education. and two teaching credentials - k-8 and adult.

My academic strengths are English - reading, writing, and literature, Spanish, elementary/junior high math, science, and social studies.
I teach to the child and motivate them to do better through their natural desires to achieve and to seek approval. I believe in postive reinforcement that is linked to realistic and attainable goals. Building relationship with children and their families is the best tool I know for helping children learn. I see children as a part of the greater systems of family and community. I believe it truly take ... read more
