Reading Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

I have taught in the Montessori environment for more than 17 years. In addition, I am trained in Orton Gillingham and have tutored, trained and mentored for 15 years. My background in both Montessori and Nursing provide great insight when teaching the "whole" child. As a mother of children that struggled with various levels of learning difficulties, I have great empathy and compassion for each parent and thus strive to utilize their unique strengths and weaknesses to assist in getting to know each student and building a strong support team for each child. Using the Orton Gillingham multisensory teaching approach I work with students at their pace. Meeting each child where they are in their abilities; moving as fast as they can and as slow as needed. Each child sets the pace for their individual learning course.

As I a special education and English teacher, I am literacy specialist. I have helped students of all ages improve their ability to read and their comprehension. I have a student-centered approach. I tailor instruction to the learner's style and that person's particular needs. My approach is Inquiry-based and Socratic. I use questioning to activate prior knowledge and to elicit correct responses. I believe in guiding students to the correct answers. All too often classroom instruction is one size fits all. This is why many of us struggle. We are individuals, yet education is cookie-cutter. Teaching must be individualistic. I help students adapt their learning style to the methodology employed in their classes. My name is Mike and I want to help you or your child succeed. I have a Master’s Degree from City College (special Education, Children with Disabilities) and a Bachelor’s Degree fro

I love to teach children how to read! I have seen different strategies work best for different children. We all learn best in different ways! I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from UNC-Wilmington. I taught first and second grades for ten years in the classroom. While teaching, I returned to school to receive my Master's Degree in Reading (k-12) and certification as a Reading Specialist. I worked as a Reading Teacher for five years, focusing on grades first through third. I also served as a K-2 Instructional Coach. I have enjoyed guiding children through the stages of reading, beginning with letter recognition and book and print awareness, to successfully completing End of Grade tests. I have taught in a first and second grade classroom for ten years, and served as a Reading Specialist for k-5 for seven. I have discovered that the most successful way to teach a

As a tutor of 10th- and 11th-grade foreign exchange students, I have found that advancing their reading and reading comprehension skills serves as a prelude to massaging their competency in writing. I am also hired each year by Pearson Education, Inc. to assess the reading comprehension skills of fifth graders taking the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA test). I am foremost a writer whose 29-year, award-winning career is rooted in journalism. However, I also have an extensive teaching background. I have taught writing labs at St. Thomas University – Miami, Florida (1987-88), Mississippi State University (1988-89) and Texas A&M University (1989-93); and I currently offer tutoring services to 10th- and 11th-grade foreign exchange students from all over the world. Some of my tutoring involves preparing students to take the college-entrance SAT. I am particularly qualified to do thi

Critical thinking is nourished so well-considered and studied opinions are more than welcome; they are essential. Students have conveyed to me that my style is one of "relaxed intensity" with a flair for the dramatic laced with a sense of humor and a genuine appreciation and respect for the views of others. Focused creativity is required. I am a career educator who has taught English and other Humanities based courses extensively since 1988. My primary experience is on the college and university level but I also have a high school and middle school background. The educational and pedagogical philosophy I hold is this: The ability to communicate effectively remains the most vital of skills and is crucial to academic and career advancement. It is with a sense of privilege and honor I teach and with a sense of urgency as communication skills continue to evolve in a quickly changing wor

Reading is the subject I am the best at tutoring. I really enjoy the smiles on the faces of my students when they learn to read or improve their reading skills. The strategies I use really work! Whenever I can, I like to be very hands-on in my teaching my students. For example, once I was teaching my class about trees. I had them go outside and collect samples of bark which had fallen on the ground. Then we created a gigantic mural in my classroom and glued the pieces of bark to a tree we had drawn. I have been a self-employed Tutor since April, 2006. Special needs and home schooled students are welcomed. Nothing makes me happier than when I see the smiles on the faces of my students when they succeed rather than fail. I assist all students in skill building and creating a life-long love of learning. I provide on-going feedback to parents and am happy to work with the teachers of my stud

I have helped students of all ages for many years with reading skills, both encoding and decoding. With a Speech and Language background, I bring excellent training to help individuals with difficulties in this area. When I work with students, I approach them with a positive attitude emphasizing their strengths while working on their weaknesses as well. An excellent rapport is also needed for their success and this occurs due to my positive attitude looking for a student's strengths. Our sessions are focused but can be fun as well. With a positive approach, students are motivated and attentive. A major component of our tutoring sessions is to teach students to be his/her own self advocate and "learn how to learn." I also believe that communicating with the students' parents, if the student is a child or young adult, is critical to his/her success. I am a retired Speech and Language The

I have tutored online and in person for over 10 years. I have edited over one-thousand essays, and have tutored grammar, poetry, and all aspects of writing and rhetoric. I taught tenth-grade English in a High School during the 2004-2006 school years. Additionally, I taught in the private sector at the middle-school level, grades 6-8. This past year I made the choice to take time off from teaching in order to focus on obtaining my MAT in secondary English, which I will complete in May of this year. I am very anxious to begin teaching again. The years that I taught were extremely rewarding and fulfilling. My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. . It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the
