Support from a dedicated teacher / tutoring service who is experienced with all types of abilities, needs and labels: gifted, neurodiverse, ADD, dyslexic and students who simply need some additional positive support and encouragement as they learn to read, write, and solve math problems.
I work as a teacher / tutor with students of all ages and abilities, tailoring instruction to student needs. Helping children and achieve and feel a sense of accomplishment in their tasks is the focus of my multifaceted work.
Why teacher / tutor? Why not just tutor?
teacher - Teaching is furthering current knowledge and presenting new information. As a seasoned teacher, I always work to integrate science and social studies content into instruction.
tutor - As a tutor, I assist students and help them to understand information that was taught in school or elsewhere previously. I discern where learning or skills break down and take it from there.
Providing a tutoring service to gifted students involves challenging their minds in ways that interest them, while also attending to gaps in knowledge and abilities.
Neurodiversity is a term that refers to the many ways that people process information and therefore react, behave and comprehend. Neurodiverse people have great potential as they work with their skills and develop self-discipline. Utilizing tutoring services, my goal is to help students organize thinking and prioritize ideas as they develop self discipline to complete tasks. Signs or "symptoms" of a neurodiverse person might be unnoticeable, or they can be more pronounced, such as ADHD, autism, executive functioning disorder, etc.
Whether the dyslexia is suspected or diagnosed, I come with training through Yoshimoto Orton Gillingham (OG) as a dyslexia therapist. I use this background in my tutoring services with students who need it, and often work to build content area understanding as well.
Often students need a great deal of encouragement and different plans to be able to stay on task and manage the wandering mind. Part of my tutoring service is to identify ways to help students focus, remember, and stay on task.
Everyone needs positive models for learning and developing a thirst for knowledge. I provide tutoring support and academic tutoring for students of all abilities. The way I do this through building positive relationships with students and identifying needs, or gaps in learning.
Sondra advocates for students to receive the services they need and supports parents as they deal with the IEP and 504 process. These plans can be helpful provided the students' needs are being met.
With a private teacher and academic tutor, you are guaranteed to have one person who is dedicated to meeting the needs of your child with high-level tutoring. This is opposed to following a company-directed program that is not geared to multiple personalities. I am experienced in working with individuals and groups both online and in-person.
I strive to identify the specific needs and learning style of my students, taking their needs and limitations into consideration as well as their gifts, talents, and abilities. I use information from all stakeholders including school specialists, teachers, doctors, and other outside source as I make a tutoring plan. My number one goal is to help each of my students move forward and feel good about their progress with me as his or her teacher and tutor.
