Since 2001, I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages and abilities. In particular, I have gained significant experience working with students who benefit from alternative learning strategies due to diverse learning styles, developmental issues, or learning disabilities. I find it to be very rewarding to develop new strategies to help students with differing learning styles or abilities master a topic or improve upon their reading abilities. Most importantly, I enjoy the opportunity to help all students reach their potential in a variety of subjects to include: all levels of Biology; Geology; Earth Sciences; Statistics; Elementary Science, Math, and Reading; Collegiate Writing Skills; and Research Methodologies.

I have completed over 1,000 field experience hours working with students with special needs throughout the course of receiving my special education degree. During these experiences, I have worked with many different students with a wide variety of disabilities and learning difficulties ranging from ADD/ADHD to students with severe needs such as autism and Down syndrome. Throughout my experiences, I have created and implemented lessons and behavior management interventions to address each students individual needs and goals outlined in his/her IEP. I recently worked with a student during the previous summer with a developmental delay. I created and implemented fun lessons and games that addressed her current IEP goals and objectives. I am currently working with a 1.5 year old child with Fragile X syndrome and am mainly working on developmental therapies with him at this time.

My comments on tutoring Special Education : Seven years of teaching experience in kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms teaching students with special education needs.

Interactive to show students how learning can be fun. I typically include a game in sometime I'm doing, to either grasp their attention or give them something to look forward to, or a little of both.
A wide variety of educational experiences as a teacher, from international schools in Scandanavia to a one room schoolhouse in rural southeastern Montana. My experience in the diversity of students I've taught is similar to that of the places I've taught. Have worked with students with behavior disorders, special education needs, as well as English language leaners.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching has been a lifelong avocation relating from elementary education through seminary level theology for high school students. Interaction with infants through young adults, to include disabled youth, in a part time teaching environment, has brought many satisfying teaching memories. I have had the opportunity to instruct mainly in religous studies and preschool crafts for the past 30 years and have enjoyed all levels of students.
Working full time in the corporate has fine tuned interaction skills that I have been able to utilize when teaching early morning seminary classes as well as weekend nursery and primary classes in our Church. I believe that the importance we place on education our children now will benefit our world in their future. Children take in all the world presents to them and by providing positive, correct learning principles, their potentials for good are en ... read more

I love to be an encourager and to build children up in their educational experiences. I believe in small portions, using this as a learning tool. To tackle tough learning experiences we take one piece at a time and keep the end in site. I love to help children celebrate their successes big and little. I believe that: children need positive role models to build their confidences while helping them succeed not only in school but also in life. :) I would love to have the opportunity to share my skills.

My teaching style would be observe the child and then apply a teaching method that feels the best. Also allowing the child to show where they want to go through personal discovery. I beleive in guiding the child when they really need it and then letting them fly. All children can learn, and its personalized education sessions that can make all the difference, informing and empowering the child, parent, teacher and future teachers.

With an advanced degree in education, more specifically in special education, I have experience working with people of all ages. Being as I have a bachelor's degree in English, I have a love of the language and its literature, which I enjoy to share with students and friends. During my long history in the education field, I have had my share of students who presented me with difficult issues and questions. One of my strengths is that I am able to find a way to answer those questions and explain them in a way that makes sense to the student.
As evidenced by my teaching history, I have a passion for teaching, especially those students who others find difficult to work with. I specialize in alternative learning styles and working with individuals who have disabilities. I am very able to alter teaching styles so that I ensure the student learns the concepts they need to learn. I ... read more

As educators, teachers and tutors play a vital role in the lives of children. I consider this to be a great responsibility and a great reward. We are responsible to see that every child in our reach feels safe, valued, and capable. We receive great reward in watching the light of learning beam in a student's eyes, possibly for the first time. I will encourage and guide all my students to reach their maximum potential. I hope to provide students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the challenges of their future. I believe this brief quote puts everything we do as tutors, teachers, and educators into perspective: "In 100 years from now, it will not matter what type of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank...but that I was important in the life of a child."
I taught 5th grade for 3 years, right out ... read more

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every person is different and requires a unique style for learning. I have used many different styles in my experiences, and I tend to use the one that works the best for that individual. Some are visual learners while others need to learn by trial and error. I am easy going, flexible, and patient. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are granted the necessary experiences and surroundings.

I graduted December 2007 with a bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary studies and a minor in Reading. I completed a semester of student teaching where I worked with a Kindergarten classroom. I made up lesson plans for the class as well as carried out the sugested plans. I taught all subjects while I was there. On the weekends I also helped tutor students in reading a math.
Inspiring children to try their hardest and their best in everything they do; and inspiring them to use their own imagination when it comes to work or play. Nowadays, most children would rather sit in front of the television and play video games all afternoon rather than go outside and play or make up their own games. Stirring up a child’s imagination and teaching them that school can in fact be fun and exciting can make them want to go home and continue what they were doing in the classroom.
