Award-Winning Tutors in Plano, TX for Students in Special Education Programs

Hello, I am a retired teacher with 20 years of experience. I am certified in SPED, ESL and Elementary k-8. I have taught in four different states. As an empty nester, I'm looking forward to tutoring and helping students stay on task while enjoying the session.

...8th year of teaching! I am currently a Kindergarten teacher and have taught Kindergarten for 5 years! I also taught high school and have provided small group support for students with learning differences and disabilities, learning English as a second language, as well as students that have an IEP or 504 plan. I believe that each student has the ability to learn, which is why I use a methodological approach to teaching. Students need someone...

...up working in education. My passion stems from wanting to help the generation behind me. I have never forgotten the good and challenging teachers I had. I feel as though I absorbed the discarded what I needed to from them and used it to bring excitement into the learning environment for my students. I started teaching piano lessons at the age of 14 and since then have spent my time working with children in some...

...are now learning how to read and write. That should have been enough for most people but,I found I have a skill to help children overcome the life- altering disability with difficulty in reading and writing. I have seen them suffering and their parents frustrated and scared. These children have a good ability to learn. They have many talents and unique contributions to share. They just need appropriate help. They have novel ways of acquiring...

...back from France, I taught the language labs for French 101, where our goal was to practice the vocabulary learned in class and gain confidence using French. I then moved to Houston and received my M.A. in Linguistics from Rice University, where I researched speech acoustics and perception. Additionally, I was Teaching Assistant for the Intro to Linguistics and Phonetics classes, where I graded papers and answered students questions, occasionally even lecturing. After grad school,...

...in Education, I have found history, government and economics extremely exciting and linked together in many respects. I also have 3 years experience teaching history and government to high school students. What I have learned through that experience was that to get kids to understand and value historical events, I had to make these events come to life. I implemented unorthodox teaching strategies such as combining film, biographies and historical accounts together to make these...

...member into Teach For America and was assigned to teach in Houston, TX. I decided to join the corps to obtain the much needed experience in education before directing my efforts to a doctoral graduate study program in School Psychology (which requires pedagogical and psychological foundations). I am a certified teacher in Mathematics grades 4-8 and in Generalist grades EC-6. I taught sixth and fifth grade mathematics during my two-year corps experience and third year...

I enjoy working with elementary students so they can learn their full potential. I have worked with special education and general education students in an elementary school setting. I like to teach the core subjects and watching the student light up when they have learned something new is the best part about teaching! I have also taught social and communication skills.

...also from the University of Texas at Dallas, are both in the Humanities with a concentration in the moral philosophy, literature, and feminist theory. I consider myself a non-traditional student and a life-long learner. What can I say--I love to learn! As a legal assistant, I originally started school with plans to take business classes to prepare for law school. However, it did not take long to realize that when it came time to make...

...a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. My teaching experience spans nearly 12 years in public schools, private schools, and as a private tutor facilitating academic and social skill development. While I tutor most subjects, I am the most efficient in elementary and middle school reading, writing, and math as well as high school advanced reading and writing. I love to see students' faces light up when they explore the adventures inside a story. When teaching...

...passion, and I know that this is evident to my students. My basic belief is that knowledge grows best in a relaxed and playful context, so I try to create an atmosphere and develop learning activities that relax student's inhibitions. Thus, allowing them to take chances, a skill that is crucial to progress in a new system of communication. As a second language learner myself, I understand the trials students must face in language acquisition...

...or newfound confidencefuels my dedication to tutoring. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and my goal is to help them discover and leverage these abilities to overcome challenges. I have had the privilege of working with students of various ages and backgrounds, both in formal classroom settings and through one-on-one tutoring sessions. My experience spans 10 years, during which I have honed my ability to tailor my approach to meet each student's individual...

My mission as an educator is to ensure that all students receive the education they deserve, lifting them up and providing them with the tools and confidence to reach their full potential. Together, we can create a brighter future for every child.

...in Education-Curriculum and Instruction. I have been teaching for twelve years (elementary and special education) and am currently working as an Educational Diagnostician for the second year. I tutor elementary math, reading and writing, special education, study skills, and organization skills. My favorite subject to tutor is reading because the ability to read allows individuals to learn and have many new experiences through stories they read. I believe that every individual can learn and it...

...Early Childhood education, but the bulk of my experience comes from teaching overseas. I have taught and tutor a variety of students, primarily in ELAR and ESL but also in Elementary subjects and some subjects at a higher level. I believe that the teacher's job is to make content interesting, engaging and motivational. Boring rote worksheets and question and answer sessions do not effectively reinforce knowledge, so I strive to make my lessons as creative and...

...in your journey of learning further outside of the classroom. That would all not have occurred without the help of tutors I had throughout my schooling career. I am a tutor with experience in general chemistry and its adjacent subjects. With my various students in the past, I was able to interact with and support differing levels of understanding, all while learning more about the world such as developing a broader idea of different experiences...

I specialize in writing but also excel in other areas such as elementary math. I am very personable and enjoy communicating as well as interacting with students to aid in their learning process. I look forward to working with you!... For me, the most important thing is teaching a student to work independently. Far too often, students expect to be given the answer, which will not effectively prepare them for higher-level work.... Get to know a...

...grades 6 through 12 with students from a variety of backgrounds. I've spent several years working with students with learning and emotional disabilities in self-contained and general education settings and the majority of my experience has been on a refugee campus teaching students from Central America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.
