Dyslexia is one of my top subjects! I have had advanced training to work with children with dyslexia and received my Orton-Gillingham certification. I have worked in a center for children with this disability.

We work hard in my sessions but we also laugh a lot. I provide plenty of praise and positive reinforcement and celebrate even the smallest improvement.
I have worked with children experiencing reading difficulties for many years and have specialized training in multiple advanced reading techniques. I have tutored in a center for children with dyslexia and am currently working part time in an elementary school with first and second graders struggling with reading. I am dyslexic myself, but was not diagnosed until college. I remember too well the shame and frustration of not being able to read. Dyslexia does not go away, but I have learned many ways to work around it. I work to make children understand that their reading problems are not their fault, and that together we can overcome the barriers in their way.

It is very important to find out what skills sets a child needs to be reinforced. The activities the student engages in must be based on his strengths and weaknesses. I believe in working with the student to explain their thought process. I do this by asking questions and helping them realize how to attack a task. I find the student by verbalizing what they are thinking is able to progress at a faster rate. This helps the student self confidence and the way they feel about themselves.
I am looking forward to sharing the skills which were developed over 30 years of teaching. My elementary classroom experience includes teaching grades 2,3,4,5 and 6. The successful experiences I had working with learning disabled students, unmotivated students, and gifted students brought me much satisfaction. One on my strengths is my ability to motivate and inspire students with different lea ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

All through school I had an advanced understanding of math and i enjoyed helping others better understand it, for the past 5 years i have been offering tutoring to those in need. I have great understanding in everything up to and including statistics, algebra II, and some calculus.
I have always seen math in a different way then those around me and have always been able to help others see the problems in a different light to better understand it. I take pride in my ability to help others understand even when they believe it will be hopeless

More About This Tutor...

As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, in addition to tutoring both Math and English as a part-time job.
Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs ... read more

My first work experience began with counseling Severely Emotionally Disturbed children and their families. In this capacity I worked with the schools in order to enable the students to see the value of education and to work through their personal problems in order to be successful in the school setting. I have been a teacher/trainer for 12 years in the Lee County school system. The levels I taught included diverse populations of middle and high school students. Most of my classes were comprised of ESE students and in fact there were several years that I concentrated on Severely Emotionally Disturbed students in a special program. Throughout both of these careers I have been extremely successful in establishing rapport and trust with these children and have been triumphant in motivating this population to care about themselves and their education. My passions are teaching ... read more

I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year.
I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to bui ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked extensively with students with special needs over the past ten years as a paraprofessional. These experiences as well my post secondary education in Elementary and Special Education have given me the confidence and skills needed to become an experienced tutor. I have assisted students in various areas of the general education curriculum by modifying instruction to meet the needs of the individual student's needs.
My goal in teaching students is to assess the best way I can provide instruction to utilize each student's individual strengths and manner of learning. I strongly believe in combining methods of instruction to most effectively fit the individual's needs thereby making the learning process successful as well as meaningful and memorable. My teaching style is creative, supportive and dependable. I aim to make the student comfortable enough in his or her own lear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching young children takes dedication and respect. As a teacher, parent, tutor, cargiver, or whatever role one is in a young child's early years is also an example and a role model. Children have to trust you, feel comfortable with you, and must like you in order for them to respond to you. During positive interactions with elementary school students I also work on communication, social, and emotional skills. My goal is to provide an easier method for struggling students to learn without the frustration. That was exactly what I did for my daughter. I believe that young children are our future and have to be prepared for every challenge in the 21st century.
Having an associate degree in both the Paralegal and Early Childhood Education fields motivates me to stand up for the rights of children and to work with and teach young children as they grow and learn. I have worked w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have earned a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and a master degree in Special Education. During my education at the University of Florida, I have numerous experiences teaching and tutoring during my field placements and internships. My experiences ranged from teaching one-on-one to teaching a full classroom of 30 children. I have taught from Kindergarten age to fifth grade. I have experience teaching students with learning disabilities and with emotional disabilities in resource rooms and self-contained rooms.
I believe that making learning fun and exciting benefits all children. I also believe all children have the capability of learning and advancing. It is the teacher's job to find the way each and every child learns best. Each child has a different and unique learning style and discovering this is the key to being an outstanding teacher. My goal as a teacher is ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My career in education has spanned over 17 years and has included teaching in Special Education and regular education. I have a BS Degree in Special Education and a Masters Degree in Education. I have taught from preschool age to high school age in both Florida and New York. I am certified permanently in New York and held previous certification in Florida. I have also tutored in homes and in the public schools. I especially enjoy tutoring, as the environment and teacher-student ratio is much more conducive to student success.
Because of my background in Special Education, I have learned to adapt curriculum to the individual levels and learning styles of my students. I have also learned that there are many creative ways to make learning more inviting for students. I have adapted many subjects to games and activities that students enjoy while learning. I have a patient spirit wi ... read more
