More About This Tutor...

I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher and, as my references will testify, have been honored by very fine assessments by my students and teaching colleagues. I have a reputation as a highly skilled teacher and a very patient, compassionate person. I enjoy working with adults or children of every age, background, and skill level. I have had great success working with students who are just learning English or have poor reading/writing skills, students of average ability, and students in honors or advanced courses. After 15 years' working as an editor and Web editor for a major educational publisher, I have reason to believe that God may be leading me to return to a teaching career.
I am interested in teaching in any capacity for which I am qualified, whether it be as a classroom teacher, a substitute teacher, or a tutor of reading, writing, language arts, and history. I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Mathematics is a joy and privilege to teach students because of its extensive relationship to the world and connection to everyday life. I believe that you need to relate to a child’s prior knowledge in order to gain an understanding of future material. I value a child’s discovery of a topic and act as a guide in my students learning. I challenge my students to think critically but also acknowledge their need to learn differently. One benefit of mathematics is the ability to teach a topic various ways so that all children can succeed. Using manipulative, visuals and technology my students can master material in a way that is meaningful to their learning style.
I have always been intrigued by mathematics especially it’s connection and explanations for various fields of science. By teaching my students the foundations of math I have grown to enjoy and appreciate it even more. ... read more

My teaching style is one in which I find ways to relate content to the students' everyday lives. I like to balance textbook knowledge with practical applications and cultural relevance. I also am a firm believer in planning lessons that require higher order thinking skills yet do not become overwhelming. Since the beginning of the era in which the special education population has began being mainstreamed into regular education classrooms in most schools, I have developed a great practice of differentiated instruction. I also am aware that there are people who are a specific learning style as well as the people that are a combination of any two or three learning styles. That's who I teach for.
I like to tell people that i did not choose teaching; rather I believe it chose me. I have always worked with children that were struggling whether it was socially or academically. I was typic ... read more

My work as a special education teacher requires an ability to teach students having a wide range of exceptionalities. I am dedicated to maintain high expectations for each student,and I understand each student’s education program needs to be individualized in order to meet each students goals. I strive to develop a trusting relationship and work to improve a student’s self image through consistent positive feedback. As a special education tutor, I need to be persistent, patient, organized and confident in order for my students to achieve success.
I have been teaching and counseling special education students for 10 years. While earning my teaching degree, I was employed for 3 years as a paraprofessional and therapeutic staff support specialist. The students I tutored and counseled ranged in age from 9 to 21 years old.

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

I love to share my knowledge and share my skills with others in a way to help them learn and grow. The way that I do this is by: 1) evaluate the child's skills, 2) acknowledge the child's skills and build his/her confidence as a stepping stone for future learning, 3) work to add to the current skills by adding to them. My greatest tutoring experience was teaching a mature adult man to read. I was able to improve his life by teaching him reading skills. His driving skills improved because he learned to read road signs. I also helped him build life skills such as learning how to write checks and balance his checkbook.
During the last 10 years, I have been a Peer Tutor to University students, a Literacy Tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America, and an individual tutor to local children. I have extensive experience with all types of writing skills: from poem writing, to letter wri ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I strive to encourage open discussions, and small group activities so students can move around the room, but only as it relates to the task at hand. I enjoy watching their enthusiasm when I give a "fun" learning activity. I am pleasant, very patient and lively!
I received a B.S. Degree in Education with a teaching certificate in English-Communication, at the secondary level. I am also qualified to instruct younger children. My graduate work focused on elementary students.My experience with young children, was learning to identify reading disabilities, administering standardized reading tests, to assess the instructional and readiness levels of individual students. I have taught in a wide array of classroom settings and as a private tutor.
