My comments on tutoring Special Education : I hold a Master's in special education, and have ten years of experience in a substantial classroom and in inclusive classrooms, as well as experience tutoring students one-on-one with reading difficulties.

My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them on track with their school's requirements, but also introduce them to better study habits that could help them excel in the classroom when they do return to school.

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning.
I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, privat ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Because I've worked with students who have various learning differences, I have a vast array of teaching strategies. What works for one child doesn't always work for another. I encourage auditory learners to always read the instructions back to me. It helps if they can explain the material as if they were teaching the subject. Visual learns tend to respond to charts, graphs, note-taking, powerpoint- anything containing shapes and color. Tactile learners have sensory needs. If at all possible, this type of learner should be given a "hands-on" task to help them assimilate the material. I believe that my patience and relaxed nature builds confidence and trust in each student. All children can be motivated to learn, because all children want to succeed in life.
As an educator, I have 10 years experience in public education for grades k-12. While my main focus has been in the field of S ... read more

I believe that all children learn best when they experience success. Therefore, I make sure to give all my students opportunities to succeed by asking questions that challenge students to think but are not impossible to answer. My teaching style involves a combination of constructivism and direct instruction. Instead of lecturing, I pose questions, calling on students randomly. When I restate what is correct about a student's answer, my students understand that they have successfully contributed to the learning process. I point out any misconceptions that might arise before they do, so my students avoid making common mistakes. I supplement my lessons with visual representations and videos for visual learners, as well as hands-on, inquiry-based activities for tactile learners. I have extensive experience using technology in the classroom and have designed many interesting laborator ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Working with young children is a passion I have pursued for the last four years. I believe that children are innately good and can learn, if educators are tuned into their needs. I am highly resourceful, thoughtful and flexible. I am passionate about teaching and demonstrate a desire to bring out the best in each student. I believe in clear, differentiated, and purposeful instruction and learning. I often build upon students' prior knowledge and experiences with new ideas and topics. I seek to meet the needs of a student, and then to use learning opportunities to build upon and challenge them. I believe in positive reinforcement, stating what I notice in a child's work and learning, and incorporating a multiple-intelligence approach to ensure equal opportunity and access to learning. Educators can make the world of a difference in a child's life with loyalty and commitment.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a progressive educator, I believe in attainment of the standard benchmarks by individualized methods, utilitizng a spectrum of teaching modalities. My personal affect is cheerful and professional, although I believe that learning should be fun, and with me, it is.
Prior to my second career in the field of service to at-risk senior citizens, I taught English for four years at Westport High School. Following the reduction in force made necessary by budgetary constraints, I taught for ten years at the Crystal Springs School in Assonet, MA as a Special Needs teacher. While rewarding, I missed the challenge of more literary pursuits and began teaching evening classes at a local communuity-based organization. My tutoring experience had its inception in that setting.
