Is your child struggling with reading and spelling? I enjoy working with students who may need a different style of teaching/learning to help them succeed.

I have a B.S. in Education with a minor in Special Education. I am Orton-Gillingham certified from Bowman Educational Services to teach remedial reading using a multisensory approach. This approach helps all students excel including students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Reading Fluency Difficulties, and Phonological Awareness Deficits.

My previous classroom teaching experience includes 1st and 3rd grades in a Christian school. In each of the classes, I worked with students who struggled with reading. I also homeschooled my four children for many years. One of my children struggled with reading. Currently I'm teaching 1st grade and tutoring students every day after school who struggle with reading.

Through caring and professional tutoring, I believe every child can access their full potential. I can assess where your student is and work to help them get where they need to be. For every lesson, I make a point to communicate with the parent about their child's needs and share my goals for each lesson. I'm looking forward to working with your child! (I will be available to tutor full time during the summer in early June 2013.)

Thanks, Mrs. Lisa A.

Homeschool:

Reading

Learning to read fluently involves learning the sounds and the six types of syllables that build words. Learning to read fluently involves automatic phrase by phrase reading with smooth articulation. These skills may take some students longer requiring more parent/tutor support.

Spelling

Spelling should be taught in the context of learning the phonemes, affixes, and the six types of syllables found in single and multisyllable words. With phonics-based multisensory lessons that follow a specific pattern, the English language and it's spellings seem more predictable for the student who struggles with spelling.

Elementary Math

Math for young students needs to be taught with concrete objects. Young children need to "see" how and why 2 + 2 = 4 or 2 x 2 = 4 through objects they can put in groups and organize into patterns. Through these mathematical explorations a K-3rd grade student will succeed.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a degree from Liberty University in Education with a minor in Special Education. K-6th grade subjects include math, reading, language arts, science, and social studies. Reading comprehension can be taught using any subject textbook. With the right strategies, the teacher/tutor can integrate reading lessons with any subject - even math word problems.

Phonics

Phonics is taught using the letter phonemes (sounds), blends, digraphs, dipthongs then decoding those sounds in single and multisyllable words. These should be taught through multisensory lessons that aid the students retention. In these lessons, the student learns step by step the regular and irregular linkages and words that help them successfully read harder and harder sentences.

Special Needs

I have a degree in education with a minor in special education. Students with special needs have educational challenges. They can be taught/tutored using adapted methods. One example may be to use highlighted strips across a page of print to help them concentrate and keep their eyes tracking from left to right on one line of print. Another example may be to teach the student to listen to a story before reading it to acquire better comprehension. Success can be gained by using different supports... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have a minor in Special Education. Students who struggle with ADD/ADHD need structured lessons with clearly defined benchmarks. Each step they take to achieve an assignment can be recorded and rewarded creating a feeling of success.

Aspergers

I have a minor in special education. A student with Aspergers is very intelligent - often verbally advanced and academically ahead of his or her grade level. They work very well one-on-one with an adult qualified tutor/teacher but need help socially with their peers.

Autism

I am certified to teach students with Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Reading Fluency Difficulties, and Phonological Awareness Deficits. The student with Autism may struggle with verbal skills. They need visual aids to help them learn. Visual schedules help keep them on track academically and socially.
