"I have tutored students (online or in person) in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, middle school, and in adult levels in reading, math, language, vocabulary, speech, spelling, and phonics. I have extensive knowledge of various spelling instructional approaches, spelling rules, patterns, and strategies, including phonics, phoneme awareness, syllabication, word families, prefixes and suffixes and spelling generalizations. I successfully implemented phonics, reading, and spelling tutoring sessions, using the Barton Spelling system and Orton-Gillingham method combined with grade level spelling and vocabulary word lists. I am also very familiar with the general elementary education phonics curriculum. I can informally assess speech articulation skills, using speech therapist guidelines that I learned in work and in studying communication disorders and speech-language pathology. I can also tutor students placed in speech-language therapy who have received Individualized Education Plans from their speech-language therapists at school.

I have been a Speech-Language Teacher(Speech-Language Pathologist) with experience teaching all qualified students in speech-language therapy. I have been tutoring online with the online tutoring site here since July 2020. When parents have the students' Individualized Education Plan with the articulation goals for the upcoming school year, I can target the sounds in their goals and they can see themselves succeed online with me providing the modeling and feedback and keeping track of their progress.

In person, I have tutored reading, math, and speech-language skills. As a full time teacher, I taught in the special education setting doing speech therapy as a Speech-Language Teacher for students of all ages, preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle school and high school, regular classroom speech-language impaired and special needs students." less...
