Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Poplar Ridge, NY

I have 15 years of teaching experience with special needs students in a rural school district. During this time i provided private tutoring sessions for Elementary, Middle, High School and College students. At the college level my tutoring experience is with reading, writing, study skills and organization. Currently I develop educational programming for incarcerated youth. My belief is that all students have different learning styles. Therefore lessons need to be individualized to meet student needs. In order to be successful students need to be engaged by creative teachers. My teaching experience has taught me to accommodate these needs when developing lesson plans.

I am applying to be a tutor for your child because of my profession. As a teacher, I value the development of the whole student in order for them to excel academically as well as socially. My teaching style exemplifies this by reinforcing a constructivist teaching philosophy in the classroom. I believe that lessons should be designed to enhance students’ experiences so they are able to anchor their knowledge in experience. I may contribute to the school by having the experience of creating lessons where students learn through discovery. I have student taught in a special education classroom where I was asked to create and modify lessons using Common Core standards in order to fit the needs of all learners. My experience in being able to modify, adapt and differentiate lessons would make me an important part of the professional learning community. I have had many wonderful experie

I like to motivate with stories and interactive discussion. Most of my teaching involves drawing out someone's talents and inspiring them to reach for something better in themselves. There is a great deal of fear and trepidation when someone tries to change anything whether it is health behaviors, relationships, personal performance, etc. My secondary purpose is to promote confidence through contructive evaluation that allows the student to comfortably make mistakes and plan new approaches. As a chiropractor and business owner, I am teaching everyday. People need to understand how to create health and that they have the potential to be the engineer of their lives. Wellness and personal development are the keys to vitalistic living but easily overlooked in our stressful world that emphasizes the mechanistic, "react to crisis" mode of function.

I spent much of my time helping others to improve in many areas of life. I just graduated from graduate school to obtain a masters degree in counseling services. This has provided me with the certification required to work in a school as a guidance counselor. While attending graduate school I continued my coaching at the 7th and 8th grade level as a head wrestling coach and two years (1 yr JV) coaching football. I have also spent the past four years as a substitute teacher for all ages and subjects. I have also been a private tutor in which I provided instructional support for students individually in academics, as well as improving self-concept, goal setting, coping mechanisms, and social and organizational skills. I pride myself on helping to create and improve a vast array of skills while providing the students with a strong foundation of what it takes to be life-long learners. I beli

I very much enjoy working with children. I enjoy that as i teach them they are teaching me as well. Each individual child learns in their own different way not like that of any other. In my experience with special needs my most knowledge came from just watching their reaction to the curriculum. Each subject had different reactions the facial expression and their attention span to each subject. These very tools gave me the fuel to fire their education. As I graduated from Corning Community College in Early Childhood Education, I instantly started work as a teacher's aide in the school district of Watkins Glen as well as Odessa. I worked with the children for a year, then i married and moved to Watertown N.Y and became so involved that i began working with special needs children. I did that for sometime till i had surgery.

Children are a joy to work with and any opportunity I have to impact a child's life through the world of education is a privilege. I am a recent graduate of a bachelor's degree program in both Special and Elementary Education. I have done student teaching in both areas and enjoy working one on one with students immensely. I have worked in a camp setting as a counselor, I have tutored elementary students in reading and phonics, as well as worked one on one with special needs students. Math is my strong subject and I enjoy teaching that along with reading and phonics. I also specialized in English and have gained a strong understanding of grammatical struture and usage in writing. As I teach, I love to find a child's strength and then expound upon that strength to aid their weaknesses. There are always new things to learn and I love being able to open up that learning world for a child. I

I really enjoy working with students of all ages. One of my favorite parts about being a tutor is working with students in small group or 1:1 settings. I have a great deal of experience working with both students with disabilities and students without disabilities. I believe that each student is different and tutoring allows for the student to focus on the way that they learn best. Depending on the age of the student, I also believe that they can play a role in determining which ways they learn best and how they feel they can be most successful. Throughout my undergraduate time at Le Moyne College, I worked as both a tutor and substitute teacher. After graduation, I continued to work as a tutor and teacher while I pursued my Master's Degree. Once I finished graduate school I began teaching full time as a Special Education teacher. I have worked with students in all grades ranging from

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.

I can identify and help students with learning disabilities because I myself have a learning disability. Although I myself was considered to be a slow learner and I had (and still have) dyslexia, I never the less taught myself how to study and how to get through high school, college, and graduate school. I can help the students on their own level because I have been there and I know how frustrating it can be to have to study without having the right tools. I not only tutor students but I also give them the right tools to be able to study and learn for themselves. I have spent most of my career in helping students with learning challenges and other special needs. My strongest asset is that I am very good at teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I have tutored a lot of students who are considered to be slow learners or who have some kind of learning disability. When I first started in t

After graduating from Ithaca College cum laude, I completed my B.S. in Speech Language Pathology in 2 and 1/2 years. I was a business major my freshman year at Siena College and realized I would rather be working to help others then sitting at a desk for the rest of my life. I have volunteered in a kindergarten classroom for one year, working with groups of 4-5 children in learning centers. I have provided speech therapy for two clients under the age of 8 during my clinical practicum in Spring 2009 at the Sir-Alexander Ewing- Ithaca College Speech and Hearing Clinic. I have developed language goals for a 4 year old with a disability while involved with the Racker's Swim Buddy Program in Ithaca, NY. I have a passion for working with children and enjoy helping students succeed. For more experience, I can send my resume. As I was once a child with a speech impediment, I received many servic

After six years as a high-tech sales representative, I left private industry to pursue a career in education because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people. I have since earned a Masters degree in special education, which has provided me with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively teach students with special needs. I have six years of direct instructional experience working with students with diagnosed disabilities including cognitive deficiencies and developmental delays, learning disabilities and psychological/psychosocial diagnoses, as well as English Language Learners. During my tenure as an educator, I have taught English Language Arts, reading and writing, mathematics, history, and science.

This curriculum has enabled me to gain a deep understanding of math and science used in both engineering and business settings. I have also learned extensive writing skills throughout my career both at Greatbatch, Inc and Lockheed Martin. Throughout both my undergraduate, graduate and full time work, I have been exposed to many learning opportunities and I would love to share my knowledge and excitement with the future leaders.
