Academic Associates Reading Center

I am am a certified Reading Instruction Specialist and former fourth grade teacher. Most students rise 2-4 grade levels in under 50 hours of instruction using the Academic Associates Reading Program. The Academic Associates curriculum is a 13 lesson brain-based phonics curriculum. One of my favorite success stories is a student I'll call Mark. After completing only 7 lessons, Mark went from a 1.9 reading level to a 3.5 reading level. Because of his previous struggles in reading, the school he attended planned to retain him in the second grade. After only 2 months of instruction, the school called his mother to let her know that he would not be retained because of the remarkable improvement in his reading. Learning to read properly not only helped improve his grade, but prevented his being held back. I fully believe everyone can learn to read well if given the proper tools to do so. C ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My love for children and wanting to make a difference in their lives, led me to get my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I believe that learning can make a difference in one's quality of life, and should be a lifelong process. I have 8 years experience either teaching or tutoring elementary aged children in basic reading skills, academic reading, and elementary math, as well as writing basic essays and papers. In fact, parents have asked for me by name, and commented to others on how I have helped their children achieve academic success. I also, hold a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, have taught art, and love it!
Young children learn best through things that have meaning to them. For example, I once tutored a child that had difficulty learning his multiplication tables, but was an avid NASCAR fan. I taught him the sums of multiplication problems by using the numbers on ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Many students struggle with relationships and well as their academics. I believe in creating a safe, nuturing environment were a student is able to work at his own pace, at his own level, and feel a bond with his teacher. Setting realistic and obtainable goals with the student is a key factor to success. Measuring and documenting progress allows student, teacher, and family to see a visual record of growth. Addressing multiple intelligences and multiple learning styles are essential for struggling students. Finding a student's best mode of learning increases self-esteem and time on task.
I have 20 plus years of teaching experience. I have worked with students from pre-school age to adults. I have taught students with a variety of disabilities and functioning levels from severely impaired to gifted.

More About This Tutor...

I am driven by knowledge, the more knowledge I have the more I can relate to people from all walks of life. I have always been fascinated most by science and psychology. I studied biology, chemistry and psychology in college and earned a bachelors degree in Psychology. Through this I have acquired grammatical skills on how to write research papers and lab reports. I taught a study tactics course for a year and a half that focused on chemistry. This gave me the advantage to not only teach study habits but also help students learn chemistry. Through this experience I also privately tutored students.
Children are one of the greatest joys in life because I get to watch them learn and understand the world around them. Children are sponges that soak up all the knowledge present to them. My teaching style is hands on. I want children to learn not just by a book but by practical applicat ... read more

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Environmental Sciences from, and will soon have my Master of Arts Degree in Elementary Education. I have recently completed my student teaching requirement and will receive my teacher certification within the next few months. I have been a substitute within the Decatur City Schools System for the past two years in order to gain more first-hand teaching experience. Throughout the course of earning my Master’s Degree, through observations and student teaching, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with a diverse group of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade-level, and those who were considered gifted or exceptional.
My greatest joy in life is teaching children and opening their eyes to all of the things they are capable of doing and learning. I have a strong passion to educate young mind ... read more
