I have tutored students age three to adult who possess myriad learning differences. My areas of expertise include English and Language Arts, test preparation (ACT, SAT, ISEE, CAT, STAAR), writing for a variety of purposes, study skills, academic organizational skills, relaxation techniques, reading comprehension and fluency, vocabulary expansion, and academic activities that improve the student's ability to focus on tasks. I incorporate a multitude of learning tools as part of my differentiated approach including: computer technology, verbal, tactile, and visual exercises. My goal is to assess a student's particular strengths as well as areas in which they can improve. I discern the unique learning style of individual clients to ensure and experience academic progress in a supportive, motivational environment.

My teaching style is differentiated teaching, as this combines many different learning styles and is able to reach most, if not all studens. I teach using many different hands-on activities, as I believe that it teaches real-world applications. I believe in texts/paper assignements but always try to back up the assignment with some type of real-world experience/scenario,; whether it be having the student give a speech, act out a script or physically demonstrate a concept or a combination of all of the above. I have obtained my Bachelors in human Services and completed the teaching certification program at Lonestar College. I have passed my content exams in special education ec-12 and the generalist 4-8. I will take my social studies 4-8 content next month. I have taught adults with special needs for two years. I am substituting in intermediate and middle school grades while seeking a tea

My teaching style is very unique. I am fairly young and I like to invovle the students in the lesson instead of just lecturing the whole time. I believe in todays society children like to use thier visual, auditory, and tactile skills to grasp the concept of a lesson. This is a new age and with that requires research and learning on the teachers part so they can present the lesson in the best manner so the student will graps the concept. A good eduacator should never just be content with a average lesson, however they should seek ways to be more innovative. As a college graduate I have worked in the field of education for about four years. I am truly intrinsic about working with kids and discovering the true talent and gifts they have to offer. I graduated undergrad with a degree in special education and continued to pursue a masters in Instruction and Curriculum with a focus in reading.

Having taught, elementary, middle, high school, and adults; I have discovered that learning can and will take place. The type of learning that needs to take place depends on the type of teaching that is facilitated. Without teaching; guided, organized, purposeful matriculation in an environment–laden with material and visual information intended to enhance and frame an individual’s knowledge and skill set; the type of learning we desire, will not occur. What and how we determine to be the most effective methods in addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of our students, will be reflected in our teaching. For the last 23 years, I have educated elementary, middle, high school and adult students in all subject areas. I also served as a Language Arts Tracher/Trainer in the U.S. Peace Corps. As a special educator, I taught students with behavior problems and learning disabilities
