Sonia, I never said that I told the mother not speak to her in her in their Native Language. I said that I told her mom she should speak to her in English as well. The girl is getting really confused because this is the grade she is trying to read. The girl told me that she doesn't even know what her mom is saying and all it sounds to her is "blah blah blah." I wasn't saying not to speak to her in her native language but to speak to her in English as well because she is learning to read. It's frusturating for the girl because she really gets confused. She is having trouble and will probably need to be put in summer school. I came on here for help, not to be judged about making a suggestion to her mother.
That is a hard situation. I would do your best to teach the reading basics which would include both phonics and sight words. Does your school have an ESOL specialist that you can ask for recommendations?
How often and how long do you meet with her? Sometimes meeting twice a week for 30-45 minutes would be more valuable then meeting once a week for an hour. Maybe you can do this through the end of school to help her get up to speed.
We have been working on the basics and I feel that she is getting better. I am just substituting right now for a school district so I actually do not work at the school she attends. I waitress at a restaurant that her parents run so that is how I know her. I meet with her on Mondays and Thursdays for an hour each day. I can see real improvement by working with her. It's just hard for her to get help at home because her mom can not read English that well so she can't help her with her homework or read to her which is important. A customer that comes into the restaurant suggested and IEP, but I don't really think it is necessay because this little girl is smart. She has improved so much and we've been working together for about 8 weeks now. I plan on working with her still over the summer and the topic of summer school has come up. I just want to be able to help her so that she can move on to the 2nd grade. Thank you for responding Amanda! I appreciate it. On 4/01/08, Amanda wrote: > That is a hard situation.

This site was made because of my conversation with my niece Nicole who took 6 years to get her Teaching degree. But here in Michigan where the jobs are far and few between, she is force like many who graduate to work at a part time job having nothing to do with her teaching degree. Upon which lead me to do a few months of research and decided to make a site which would benefit all teachers, students, parents and kids with Autism.
TOP TEN REASON WHY TUTORING IS GREAT EXPIERENCE
1) Employ Teaches and give them a good pay for their time. ($20) and allow then to sharpen their teaching skills
2) A safe environment for both the student and the teacher.
3) Keep your teaching skills sharp while looking for a full time position.
4) Great Part time income that can be done on your time, tutoring can be schedule online and can bring your own students on the site where both you and the student will benefit from this site advanced settings.
5) Tutoring is only $29.95 a hour so extremely reasonable.
6) Site supports the NAA National Autism Association and denotes 5% of all proceeds.
7) Site will have World Wide Exposure, get on the ground floor and you will be able to have this on your resume and you continue your quest for the perfect job or you just may find yourself doing 40 hours of online tutoring and stay home.
8) Site will officially launch on May 1, 2008 accepting Teachers registration right now for the official launch date 5-1-2008
9) Site can help out with kids with disabilities to make it easier on both the parents/students and teachers.
10) Other established sites have teachers with 10,000 reviews so new teacher have no chance of getting work, this is a golden opportunity with this new world class online educational site.
Ok there is the top ten reasons why online tutoring is a great choice for those waiting to get the postion they are striving for. The site will have World Class customer service and will do some major marketing for its Teachers.
Visit the site and see for yourself why this will be a huge success very soon. Thanks Claude Cote CEO TeachingSpace.Com
The site is 99% complete and need some more teachers. Three ways to teach on the site. Teachers resource center will be completed todays as well. Major Marketing will commence in 2 weeks to get students. Please look at the FAQ and About Us page for more info. Please email me with any questions pay is $15 to $20 a hour depending on expierence.
Hi Everyone! I was wondering how much you charge for tutoring. When responding, would you please tell me your location? I am going to be tutoring this summer and am not sure what to charge. Thanks!
F...See MoreI will be working with a young man who is finishing 7th grade this year. He is average to above average in his school work. I tutor his younger brother also. The older brother is driven to continue to achieve at higher levels. He gets all As in schoolwork. He wishes to be tutored this summer to "stay on top of" his math over the summer.
First of all, my experience is in the area of early childhood, so this age has been an adjustment for me. Second, I don't have a lot of upper age group materials available to me. I have been sifting through all sorts of material on the internet.
I need some advice. What are some activities/lessons you might suggest? Would LOVE any assistance. Thanks.
I work primarily with elementary-age students. It seems that primarily folks looking for tutoring do so in Math and/or Reading, so I generally begin my sessions with about 15 minutes of review/drill (i.e., math facts, sight words, some type of review activity; then 30 minutes of focused activity on specific skills; then last 15 minutes in some type of learning game to support skills on which we are working. For the younger elementary student, I use a lot more of the focused activity as learning games also.
I would love to hear how others structure their time.
I've visited a few times, but this is my first post here.
I've tutored younger kids and the "big kids." When I introduce something new with my younger students, I like to read him/her one or two stories to introduce the topic. Then I use that as a bridge to what I am going to teach my student.
If you are continuing something, just pick up where you left off. It's best to verbally re-introduce the information, especially if it's something new.
A lot of my students end up being younger ones: I work for a special education organization that does NCLB-based tutoring. Therefore, I don't have much control over my caseload. (I can control the number of students I have.)
If you have any more questions, feel free to email me. You can reach me by clicking on my name up top.
Good luck!

I am struggling the most with a boy who is going into the 8th grade who, believe it or not, *WANTS* to be tutored (LOL) in order to keep up with his math, etc. I have borrowed a 7th grade math textbook from a principal friend of mine, and aside from going through lessons, I'm lost as what to do. I come from the early childhood side normally where I don't want to use a lot of worksheets, etc., but I may not have a lot of other options. He likes to work on the computer, but he can do that at home, without me around, and without his folks paying me a fee....you know? I don't think that's necessarily the best use of our time together.
Any idea would be great! Thanks, lesa

lease someone! This GACE exam is really stressing me out. I've taken this test at least 4 times and still has not passed it. I really need someone who has passed this test to give me some pointers or someone who can tutor me.
Does anyone tutor for the GACE 003??? It is Elementary Special education- I have passed 004, but keep scoring 217/220-I signed up AGAIN for the March 27th and would LOVE to get some help so I can finally pass- I am not stupid, I don't test well and this failing over and over again is getting too much for me-ANYONE????
New math tutoring company that provides affordable in home tutor boxes will revolutionize the industry! This innovative company seeks investors for marketing. For more info., email: [email removed]
I am trying to find good quality sites where I can find job vacancies for online-distance learning tutors ~ particularly for working adults, in business and management subjects, ideally at postgraduate diploma, masters, and professional qualification levels
Another option would be sites which have lists of colleges, business schools, universities, HR and-or Departmental email addresses
