Melanie Knorr
Orange, CA

Special Education Tutor

I encompass a growth mindset, I am self-motivated, and am consistently committed to enhancing my practice as an educator. As a graduate from Chapman University's masters program in Special education, I have extensive knowledge, taking rigorous courses such as Teaching English Language Learners, Literacy & Pedagogy tutoring a 4th grade student through Chapman's literacy program through the Kathleen Muth Center, and administering assessments. Also, I have extensive experience creating curriculum and teaching students with autism about appropriate social skills. Additionally, I have experience working as an educational specialist intern and through student teaching. In the past years, I have worked as a full-time education specialist at an independent study high school for students who are completing or making up credits to receive their high school diploma. My passion and devotion for teaching and helping those with special needs comes instinctually and fills my heart with joy. I have a strong commitment to diversity and ensure that all my students are given equal opportunities. In my classroom, I take pride in using a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, implementing the strategies and principles when teaching my lessons. The design of instructional goals I create for my students, the methods, the assessments, and the resources and materials are customized and differentiated to meet each students individualistic needs. By following a UDL framework and fostering a growth mindset for myself and my students, my classroom is an environment where differences are embraced, every student is encouraged to be themselves, and equal opportunities are given to all. I strongly believe in breaking down the barriers (both physical and mental) that often discourage or prohibit others from learning and growing to the best of their individualistic abilities in the educational setting.

Falak Tulsi

Undergraduate Student - B.S. Computer Science

Since the introduction Khan Academy course I took in sixth grade, Computer Science has never left my life and I'm happy for it. From middle school to highschool, I have been worked on my skills through learning languages, such as Python and Java, and through programming many types of robots. My highschool allowed us to take Advanced Placement courses from sophomore year on and since then I have received mostly 5s on my exams, two of which were Computer Science ones. In highschool, I was additionally the Lead Programmer for the Robotics Team for almost four years. It has been nothing but fun attending all the Robotics meets, programming hackathons, and Cybersecurity competitions. Currently, I am a Computer Science major and have joined numerous clubs centered around that including Gamespawn, which is a game development club, and the Cyber club, which focuses on Cybersecurity. Both clubs have brought me various experiences to add to my background ranging from Game Jams to Capture the Flags to even Junior Officer positions. I understand the intimidating factor of Computer Science, especially for many children, however that is exactly what I aim to eliminate. Utilizing my experience and skillsets, I wish to be able to offer guidance and inspire young minds to not only learn this valuable field of knowledge but also to raise their self-confidence and be able to challenge themselves. This is what I was able to achieve at the Summer Programs I tutored for last year and is what I aim to achieve here at Lessonpal.
