Award-Winning Special Education Tutors

...child accomplish your goals in a respectful, patient, and personalized manner. As a life-long learner, I have a passion for teaching and rely on my educational background in neuroscience and psychology to help develop individualized learning and tutoring plans to help students accomplish their academic and personal goals. Whether it be elementary and middle school math or college level anatomy and physiology, I review and prepare for my students so that our time together is...

...real life situations. I enjoy incorporating aspects of Art in my teaching/tutoring as well as many hands-on experiences. I try to create lessons/activities that would work for a variety of leaners (visual, tactile/kinesthetic, auditory, etc). I feel that in order to truly understand something and know the why, you must learn in the way you learn best. In my free time I enjoy playing video games, spelunking, hiking, and anything art related.

...reading and math. My favorite subject to both teach and tutor is math. I have a firm belief that all students can achieve high levels in math as long as they are taught in a way that they 'get it.' My students over the last six years tell me they love that they learn while having fun with me. I truly enjoy teaching and working with students. That moment when a student truly understands is...

...University of Redlands. Previously, I tutored at the elementary and high school level in English related subjects. On top of that, I have experience working with special needs children and tutoring based on new common-core standards. I believe in tutoring in a way that doesn't make learning feel like learning. If a student is more involved in what they are learning, answers will come naturally. Outside of tutoring, I love going to Disneyland and traveling....

...to help the specific need. I emphasize in building positive supports through preparation, organization and equality. I obtain my energy and focus from spending time with my family, hanging out at the beach, roller skating, bike riding and at times taking a drive up Pacific Coast Highway. I also enjoy watching the History and TBN channel. In addition, for the past four years, I have volunteered at my church teaching 4-5 years olds. I love...

...become confident, self-advocate, and achieve in furthering their education or skills after high school. It is without a doubt the best feeling in the world to see a student years down the road, being a successful adult with families of their own. I believe that children who are given the right tools, can easily achieve anything. Learning isn't just about getting the right answer - it's about finding the path to the answer.... My philosophy of teaching is that it needs to be student-centered and students need to be equal partners in the process. My goal is to find the learning style of the student, whether it be visual, auditory, verbal, or tactile, and create lessons where the student can use that strength.

...as organizational skills. I believe in teaching skills that your child will be able to carry with him/her through all their years of schooling, allowing them to be as successful and independent as possible. My teaching style is relaxed and incorporates a sense of humor; tutoring can be fun and not approached as "working overtime" for your child. I am also in the process of being trained to teach Wilson Multi-sensory reading program, used for...

...I am highly qualified to tutor Writing at all levels - from elementary to adult professional writing - as I have written two distinguished theses as part of my academic training. As a Tutor, I can do more than simply help students with homework. My approach to aiding them is three-fold. I will work to: 1. Review and reteach material from her school that has proven difficult. 2. Diagnostically assess for instructional gaps and then...

...tutor with Varsity Tutors. With my background in communication sciences and disorders and speech pathology, I have a great knowledge base of English, grammar, vocabulary and phonics. I also am very passionate about math. As a child, I struggled in math class, but after receiving tutoring, math became my favorite subject! I use a multi-sensory approach to tutoring by including visuals, drawings and manipulatives in my lessons in order to help my students gain a...

My mission as a teacher is to help my students realize that through learning, they can embrace their life in a positive way. I want to help all my students believe in themselves and through that belief, take on the challenges of life and go forward.
