My comments on tutoring Sign Language : I've known Sign Language as a child to communicate with Deaf & Hard of Hearing friends and I've used Sign Language on my jobs as well.

I have a Master's Degree in Special Education from Lewis & Clark College (1993) from Portland, Oregon. I've been a Special Ed Teacher for almost 20 years....taught the Deaf/Blind students; Deaf/Hard of Hearing students; Multiple-handicapped students with medical issues; as well as worked with students struggling in Reading; Writing; Math; etc. As of right now, I have the privilege of working with variety of Deaf/Blind Adults within the communities around them as grocery shopping, 'others' shopping, etc.

I am Deaf. Americans Sign Language is my primary language since age 2. I studied linguistics of ASL/Deaf history/Deaf Culture at Western Oregon University and Deaf Education at McDaniel College. I value ASL. I am currently learning PTASL (a communication mode within DeafBlind community). My goal is to give back to Deaf/Hard of Hearing/DeafBlind communities including children. ASL acquisition/learning is critical to be able to communicate and be ally. I experienced as ASL mentor and ASL house manager at McDaniel College.

More About This Tutor...

I believe everyone learns best when the subject matter is interesting and engaging to that student. I have always tried to adapt my curriculum to the interests of my students. For example, I found many little boys felt they hated reading, but with the right books, could actually enjoy the experience. Learning should be fun! Progress of any sort should be rewarded. Children’s opinions deserve to become part of the teaching equation. Together, you, your child and I will find the best possible way to help them learn.
I chose to receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, so I could study many different fields, rather than focus on only one. I was thrilled with reading and literature courses; history; fine arts; sociology and humanities. I have always had a love of reading and I was happy to share the joy of reading when I volunteered my time to help struggling and early readers in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have tutored and educated staff to raise their knowledge and understanding in an effort to help them appreciate their role and the benefit of their effort toward the goals of the overall department and organization. It has been my privilege to work with many bright, wonderful people who often didn't know "why they were doing what they were doing" or how important their role/work was to the whole. As a manager, I knew/know that 'you can only be as good as your people'. I love to see people succeed and come to believe in themselves and their abilities. I come from a long line of teachers and decided I didn't want to be another teacher--isn't if funny that I have most enjoyed the teacher/mentor role within work environments!
Interactive--listening to and learning from student to determine "where they're at". Then, posing questions to enable them to find their own beginning/so ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have work with special education student, as well as advance placement student. I have only noticed one difference with each group and that is the pace that the classroom goes in. Although I enjoy working with small groups or one on one with student I believe that I am able to work with more then ten students at a time. I really try to let the kids explain to me how they interoperate the dictation first and then help them a long. I let all the students do as much as they can on their own, I believe is the best way to assists a child which I have done volunteering at the Land L Learning center, I worked with young age group going into first and six grade to help them get up to grade level in reading. My goal as I help every child that I work with is to get them to be able to do it on their own with out any help by the end of the year.
As I have gone through my classes at Clove ... read more
