I believe all kids can learn with the right teaching methods

I have 17 years of special education teaching experience K to 12 grade and 2 years of elementary education experience as a 6th grade teacher. My specialty is reading, reading comprehension, writing and test taking skills. I enjoy using differentiated instruction to address the needs of my students. I believe that spelling and reading are the foundation for all other subjects. Last I build the students confidence through positive affirmations and motivation.
Hands on, artistic and technology based.

I graduated from Oregon State University this year with double Honors BS degrees in Earth Science (with a Climatology focus) and Environmental Economics & Politics.

A Little Bit About Me...

I basically teach according to what the students like or is familiar with (art, sport, etc.) and I utilize what they're good at with the subject matter. For instance, if a student is into baseball, I teach math using scoring method, countries where players are from for social studies, speed of running, throwing, etc. for teaching science, and so on. With the younger students, I oberve them during choice time or free play and document what areas they are attracted to the most, how they interact with each other and their conversations. I use the data to help me develop and strenghten the abilities they exhibit.
I attended Northeastern Illinois University and obtained a B.A. degree in Elementary & Special Education, with honors. My first job, straight out of college was as an Educational Consultant. I trained teacher how to us computers to install educational programs for their s ... read more

Poetry is one of my top subjects! Includes writing poetry

Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor.
Over 20 years of experience teaching ESL speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary to levels ranging from literacy to near-fluency. An ESL training film was made about my teaching style in 2003 by the ALRC, Adult Language Resource Center in Arlington Heights,IL. In 2005, I patented a revolutionary system for teaching keyboarding / typing to both adults and adolescents.
