ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

A person who has strong negative feelings about learning is automatically hindered in any learning environment. I first gain the trust of my students, and then start to build an appreciation for learning in their minds. Once that process has begun, I inject a sense of humor, a sense of patience, and a great deal of love into my teaching. I have been a classroom teacher for over 20 years. I have taught all subjects in elementary school, English, history, and mathematics in middle school, and English composition and literature in high school. Additionally, I have taught mass communication and creative writing in high school. I have taught remedial English, freshman composition, and technical writing on a collegiate level.

After earning a degree in Elementary Education and Specific Learning Disabilities at Florida Southern College, I continued my education and received my Masters at the University of South Florida as well as my Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership through Nova Southeastern. Since then I have been a teacher and guidance counselor at all levels including elementary, middle, and high schools for the past 17 years. I am currently a 5th grade reading, language arts, and math teacher at Brentwood Elementary in Sarasota where I have worked for the past 5 years. I utilize hands-on learning throughout my classes intermixed with other individual techniques designed to suit each child's own learning style. I believe that teachers are in schools to serve the kids and I routinely pursue what is in the best interest of each student I work with. Communication with the adults in my

My teaching style tends to depend on the learning preferences of the student. Moreover, when necessary, I will provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I have been tutoring students privately since 2004 in a variety of subjects for grade levels ranging from elementary to graduate level university coursework and Ph.D. dissertations. I mostly tutor students in Mathematics, Literature/Humanities, and Business courses. However, I have also tutored many students from grades 1-12, but I am also experienced tutoring traditional and non-traditional college students. I also tutored and graded for the John Carroll University Department of Mathematics and Computer Science for five years. In addition, I have two years of Statistical Consulting experience in a variety of different fields, whereby I use mostly SAS and SPSS, as well as STATA. Currently, I am pursuing a M

My experience with approx. 25 different learning challenges (diagnoses) has allowed me to become sensitive to individual students' needs--behaviorally, emotionally, and academically. In the last 20 years of tutorial services and as a contracted para-ed within my local school district, I have gained much from observing students' success and struggles. Their accomplishments have resulted in a personal excitement to continue assisting in their life-changing work. Students have ranged from pre-K to college level/adult; from those learning basic life-skills to others working toward an advanced college degree; and from frequent in-person sessions per week at the student's home to one-time project work at a library site. My experience has developed my versatile, motivational, and sensitive style. Beyond simply "tutoring", my work with students is aimed at long-term cognitive development. Ins

I have been teaching elementary school Math and English, from Kindergarten up to 6th grade for 6 years. A number of my students have suffered from ADD/ADHD and I have been successful in working with them. I have been working for 2 tutoring companies involved with the "no child left behind program" designed by the education department. I have been tutoring on a one-to-one basis in the homes of the students or in the library if desired by the parents. I have also tutored Math and English at elementary school level privately for a number of students over this period, and have helped with homework. I have had excellent results, with most of my students achieving almost double the scores from their pre-test score to their post-test score.

I have tutored online and in person for over 10 years. I have edited over one-thousand essays, and have tutored grammar, poetry, and all aspects of writing and rhetoric. I taught tenth-grade English in a High School during the 2004-2006 school years. Additionally, I taught in the private sector at the middle-school level, grades 6-8. This past year I made the choice to take time off from teaching in order to focus on obtaining my MAT in secondary English, which I will complete in May of this year. I am very anxious to begin teaching again. The years that I taught were extremely rewarding and fulfilling. My students exhibited diversities in learning styles, backgrounds, cultures, and interests. I have taught English to students at many levels, including, standard, honors and advanced placement. . It has been and will always be my utmost goal to tailor my teaching methods to best meet the

I am a keen observer and "detective" in assessing at what level a student needs help. I would also like a well-rounded view of your child's academic needs, so frequent conferences with parents are encouraged and phone calls are welcome. It is important for the student to feel success, so I present instructional materials so that the student leaves the session with an upbeat and optimistic attitude. I had a private practice in Santa Fe, NM for 30 years. I have specialized in teaching dyslexics, and I do have Special Education K-12 certification. My undergraduate degree major was in English, so I am well-equipped to teach Language Arts for a student of any age.

I have experience in teaching at all levels of the ages from running my own daycare center to teaching high school students the core curriculum. My major is in science as I started out as a Medical Technologist and then went back to school for Early Childhood/Elementary degree. I then got my endorsement for special education classes. Through the years I have done after school tutoring for math, science, Language Arts, and social studies. My teaching style is hands-on with some lecture. I believe finding out what the interest of the student is matters and can be used to incorporate into a lesson plan. I feel students also gain more knowledge if the skills being taught are done through a thematic unit. I believe building independency is a necessary tool so that the learner can generlize and use the skills once I am gone. Organizers are another tool I feel helps the student learn and
