Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Larkspur, CO

As a language therapist, my training and experience includes the Orton-Gillingham approach and Barton Reading. It is a joy to provide remediation with students with reading problems/dyslexia. To hear and see the progress of my students is always exciting! My qualifications for teaching reading and dyslexia include use of the Orton-Gillingham approach and the Barton Reading System. With specific teaching methods, students who struggle with decoding, fluency, spelling, comprehension, and writing can be successfully helped to overcome these problems. Each student is provided individual lesson planning, according to his or her demonstrated strengths and weaknesses. As a tutor, I am able to present material and concepts to students in an easy-to-understand manner. Often, I look for ways to relate to students as individuals and connect the academic studies to their personal interests. I have a

I am an organic chemist. I will only teach you at the level you are assigned. My background makes it easier for you. Anyone can learn organic chemistry or the other subjects and standardized exams I've tutored. I focus on understanding and independence with a minimum of memorization. In fact, that's the only difference between an "A" and something that is unacceptable. I hold a 100% pass rate (or better). I've learned how to make the subject simple, save you time, and learn so you retain it. We work at your pace (nothing else works) but we make progress immediately. I establish rapport with students and quickly gauge what the difficulties are and what they concerns are. I guide you through the process and make is a step by step process to outperform others, maintain peace of mind and graduate on time. Confidence is essential in organic. We build that first and clear up the

I have taught Special Education reading for 14 years in a public school district but am retiring in June and would like to continue helping struggling readers. I have taught reading for the last 17 years to struggling readers in a public school. The students that I teach have shown improvement in reading and writing on the state achievement test for the last 10 years. I enjoy working with struggling readers because when they get it it is very rewarding to know that in some way I have helped them enjoy reading. I am a very patient with students, trying many different ways to try to get them to understand. If I need to use phonics or other word recognition strategies I will.

I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized through these experiences that I wanted to help people learn and become accomplished. Later, I decided to student teach in graduate school. I taught three different writing courses over three years, including this past year as a part-time instructor. While I enjoyed my time teaching in a college classroom, I found myself making the most headway during conference time. In addition, I also worked as a writing tutor at MU's writing center. I felt like I accomplished more working with students in this way instead of standing by a chalkboard. I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to fac

I have been tutoring my step-son in reading, writing and math for two years. He was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of six so we opted to have a tutor work with him. After two years of outside tutoring, his mother and I decided that I would begin tutoring him. I had his tutor instruct me on his methods and various tools he used for teaching a dyslexic child. I then took over the tutoring and have been tutoring 2-3 times a week ever since. He is now 10 and doing very well in school. I plan to work with him as long as necessary. I also currently volunteer at his school, helping with the 3rd grade Math Club. I prefer to tutor 3rd through 6th grade age children but will consider other school age children. I love children (re: four of my own) and thoroughly enjoy everything from tutoring them in subjects to building projects together with them in the workshop. I understand that e

I am focused on helping young students discover the joy of learning. I have taught approximately 500 + students over the years. My passion is teaching and educating. My teaching style reflects my belief that young students learn best by doing. Making connections are crucial. Helping students make those connections and guiding them to discovery is more than just learning a subject, it is learning how to learn. I take into account individual learning styles to help students cement and utilize what they have learned. I strive to help students master the material; I strive to help students develop learning strategies that will carry them throughout their school career and hopefully throughout life as well. I have a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis on Integrating Teaching through the Arts, from Lesley University. My passion is working with children of all ages. I have 18 years

I believe teaching is a very important profession and that our communities cannnot be strong with out a good education system. I believe that all children learn but each child has a different learning style and obsticles that may need to be overcome and special needs that need to be addressed. I am experienced with identifying needs, writing goals and curriculums and using many different types of teaching styles to reach the needs of each individual student. I strive to help any child, school district, and coumminity with the education of students to make a difference in the lives of children. Holding a bachelor degree in psychology with a minor in special education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction with post gradute hours +15 and ten years teaching and tutoring has enabled me to gain an understanding in all areas of elementary education with specialities in reading.

Children deserve the best education possible. I feel my teaching can contribute to their success in the classroom and enhance their learning experience. Teaching should be structured to ensure that student needs are met. Teaching should be creative so that students are involved in the process. Students should be provided a learning environment where they can grow to their full potential. As a Special Education teacher, I am expert at creating lessons that will reach your student. I have worked specifically with elementary level reading and interventions, but also have worked with middle and high school students in literature, writing and grammar.
