Dyslexia Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Walstonburg, NC

I graduated from East Carolina University with a B.S. in Elementary Education (K-6) as well as Reading Certification (K-12). I did an internship in 1st grade as well as taught some in 2nd and 3rd grade. I know that each child is different and that I must differentiate my teaching methods in order to reach all children. I love learning new and creative ways to teach content to children and trying to make learning as engaging and meaningful as possible for all. I use a variety of teaching styles and methods to reach students because I know that all students are different and learn better with different methods. I try to find creative ways to reach students to try to make learning as engaging and meaningful as possible.

I have taught special education since August of 1989. I began at Dunn Middle School with a mildly mentally handicapped self-contained class. After three years I taught for one year at Clayton Primary in a multi-handicapped class. I then transferred to Four Oaks Middle School in 1993 where I continue to teach. The first year there I taught a self-contained mentally handicapped class, and since then I have taught through the inclusion model. Through co-teaching I work with the regular education teachers in grades six, seven and eight in the areas of math and language arts. This has been a very rewarding experience as I have watched the self-esteems of all students, regular and special education students thrive and experience success. Most of my students have learning disabilities and/or attention difficulties. I currently work with two students who struggle with the effects of cance

I teach using the Barton Reading and Spelling System (an Orton-Gillingham based program). This program teaches students to read and spell phonetically (sounding out words). I use a multi-sensory method (see a word, touch a word, say a word, hear a word), so that the student is completely engaged in the lesson through the use of most of their senses. This program was designed for students with dyslexia and learning disabilities, but would help anyone (child or adult) that struggles with reading and spelling, especially individuals with ADD/ADHD. I have seen quite a great deal of growth in the students I am currently working with and I absolutely love teaching with the Barton System! I have a degree in Elementary Education and have been certified to use the Barton Reading and Spelling System. I have 3 years of experience in teaching grades K and 1 and 1 year of experience in teaching small

Hands on, creative, and flexible. Children learn when learning is fun and engaging. With 15 years of classroom teaching experience, I have worked with children with many different needs and learning styles. I have found that there is no "one sized fits all" when it comes to children. Therefore, I come prepared with a variety of techniques and activities to help engage your child while learning or reviewing skills. I have taught all elementary grades Kindergarten through Fifth grade.

Education is my life. From a very young age, I loved school and learning. It all started with my brother and his learning disability. I tutored him all throughout his academic career. In college I tutored elementary students through the CARE program. I then decided to be an English Education major and have been teaching ever since. Currently, I am finishing my graduate work at East Carolina University and working on the addition of TESL on to my teaching license. As a lifelong learner, I understand the importance of education and on researching the best methods of teaching to all students. I want to teach students about themselves, others, and the world around them through literature and learning experiences. All information is presented in ways that all students can relate and understand core concepts to be successful in the classroom and in life. The most important achievement in my te

I feel as though every child can achieve the impossible, and with the help of someone giving them the attention that they deserve and need, they will feel better about themselves as well. I want to get a child in a learning mood where they'll want to go to school everyday and learn something. I want to be an inspiration to them or a role model or someone they can look up to for advice so that they can follow in my footsteps as far as finishing high school and continuing education to strive and be the best that they can be. As an graduate of Elizabeth City State University, I have done exceptionally well. I learned so much through tutoring other students. When I tutored in the Business Department for Accounting and Finance classes, I gave some students hope, and some students even looked up to me. That they made me feel great and it really made me enjoy what I did because I helped a lot o

I have been providing tutorial services for more than 10 years. My first tutorial assignment was at Edgecombe Community College in 1993. I worked one-on-one with students that were having difficulty in College Mathematics, Computer Technology, and Chemistry. Within the same year I also worked at Nash Community College tutoring students in Electronics Technology and Mathematics. In 1999, I taught middle school math. Based on my college transcripts, which displayed my engineering math courses, I was immediately promoted to teaching high school mathematics. Most of the students I taught where underachievers, repeaters, or transfers from AP courses. The school’s guidance counselor recognized my ability to inspire and motivate these students to become successful. After which, I was given the opportunity to work in developmental mathematics.

Building a healthy relationship in a friendly learning environment where students feels comfortable and not intimated is essential to reducing anxieties, thereby allowing the student to express themselves and think freely, without pressure.I understand patience and tone of voice is vital to teaching critical thinking skills and strategies needed to perform the most challenging equations. I have experienced that if a student spends time talking their way through problems, they develop a better understanding of the process of problem solving. I ultimately understand that building self confidence provides a child with the self-assurance to learn independently, and develop a love and passion for learning all things During college I studied Electrical Engineering for 7 years where I gained an extensive background in mathematics and science while obtaining my Masters Degree.

As a teacher, I care about students. I believe that positive encouragement is the way to motivate. I worked as a private/public school teacher to provide each student that I worked with the academic/social support that was needed. I used my background in child development to motivate students to work to their potential. I have worked with students from a variety of ethnic/social backgrounds who had a wide range of ability levels. My goal was to meet the needs of the individual learning style of each student. I have tried to make a difference in the lives of children and have them move to the next level of learning, not only with the concepts and knowledge that was necessary, but with a love of the learning process.
