Seeking Motivated Students

I am a patient, easy-going man with high standards and expectations for my students.
I have been a special needs teacher (k-8 moderate disabilities) for seven years, and an Orton-Gillingham instructor for eight years. Prior to my certifications I worked as a volunteer in Boston, Weymouth, and Quincy schools. I earned a Bachelor's in Literature and history in 1993, and am confident about my ability to work with all types of students in all areas of academics. I am a teacher in a substantially separate classroom for children with emotional disabilities. I also work with autistic children each summer in a social skills program. I have co-taught in the general education classroom over the years, and consider myself experienced and well-schooled in all facets of special and general education. I have also tutored children with reading disabilities over the years with great success (no m ... read more

Patient and Supportive, but always Persistent

I am patient and supportive, but persistent. Each student's mind works differently, and I work tirelessly to find the best way to present material to every child or adult. I have a varied background, not just in the academic world, and I feel I can find the right way to relate to each individual. I try to be somewhat informal, but I recognize the times when a little extra emphasis on the need to really concentrate is necessary.
I have logged over 5,000 hours of tutoring in the last four years. I have worked for a game company, which taught me how to approach tests as a contest between student and test-maker, and my extensive background as a writer gives me practical experience when it comes to teaching English and related subjects. My competence in math has always been obvious, as my 796 score (maximum 800) on the math SAT will attest. But most important: I love to teach any child ... read more

My extensive background in counseling helps me understand the feelings that can accompany ADHD.

More About This Tutor...

As a student, I understand the importance of a good teacher. I always try and help the student find and correct their own mistakes, rather than merely giving them the corrections. I have found that the listening is one of the most important tools that a tutor has at their disposal: in my experience, the student knows where their weaknesses and difficulties lie, even if they are unable to articulate the problem areas. Therefore, as a tutor, I always try and listen carefully to the student and adapt the lesson to each students respective needs.
During the last two years of my undergraduate career I worked as an Arabic and Economics tutor in the Academic Resource Center at Tufts University. With respect to Arabic, I worked with Beginner and Intermediate level students - extensively using Al-Kitaab. Being dyslexic, I have an intimate knowledge of the difficulties that dyslexic students ... read more

My comments on tutoring Writing Skills : Helping students develop, organize, and draft written works using "chunking" strategies and goal setting.

I have two years of experience working in public schools with children across a wide spectrum of ability. My role as school psychologist intern has prepared me to work individually with children in both regular and special education settings. I have also spent the past two years working with undergraduate college students at Tufts University to help them better their time management and study strategies. Working with students to assess barriers to learning and helping them overcome those obstacles is my passion.
I take a brief, solution-focused, strengths-based approach to working with children. I believe that there is much more to be gained from positivity, mutual understanding, and compassion than from mere drilling exercises or behavioral principle. I also believe that building a constructive and meaningful relationship with each individual student is crucial to the success of a ... read more

Typing and Writing Skills

I've taken writing classes at Northern Essex College. My typing has been about 30-35 wpm when i was younger, now I've increased my skill to 45-50 wpm and my wpm continues to increase. My typing and writing skills are high enough for me to teach them. I love seeing someone's skill improve over time. To when they first start as beginners until they reach that point of experts.
I have not taught professionally, but I am more than capable of teaching someone. I am currently helping my mom with computers and typing, since she needs the skill for work. I am a very patient and understanding person that will do my absolute best. Ive also helped teach some of my co workers at my old job as a security officer. My supervisors would almost always assign me to train the newcomers.
