ADHD & Special Needs Coaching for the Whole Family

My ADHD Coaching experience is through the UNH training program. The classes prepared me to provide a strengths based, step by step approach to supporting students. I'm continuing to take courses so I can use cutting edge techniques to help students improve their executive functioning skills. My counseling and teaching experience has spanned 10 years and my goal is to help students and families enhance their self esteem while improving their study skills.
I use a strengths based, positive coaching style to encourage students to achieve their goals. I use a step by step process and easy to use techniques to help students with ADHD improve their executive functioning skills. Together we will put together a plan that will help students succeed. My extensive background in counseling helps me understand the feelings that can accompany ADHD.

More About This Tutor...

I have two years of experience teaching adults in college-level and public adult education settings. Additionally, I have about 3 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence and was a lead after-school teacher. My professional business background, entrepreneurial spirit and freelance writing career have aided in the practical development of my English, grammar, financial planning, customer service, sales and marketing skills.
Teaching is a facilitating process. I believe it is my job to aide the student in developing a more solid understanding of the coursework in front of them. This may involve explaining the same concept to the child in a variety of ways to help them understand. The child may also just require a patient instructor who is willing to keep practicing until they have reached the mastery stage of learning. Whatever the case may ... read more

Improving the lives of children has always been a passion of mine. While my academic background has had a focus, primarily, in the social work realm, my overall philosophy for working with youth emphasizes patience and education. I have sought opportunities working with both young children and adolescents. My interest began when I tutored elementary age children during my high school career. Since then, my experiences range from being a school social worker, to teaching anger management group therapy to adolescents, to encouraging education among the youth in my community. My academic interests lie across all subjects, but I have always had a particular fondness for mathematics.
I believe that education is the most efficient way to combat any issue. I, therefore, feel that it is essential for youth to find success throughout their academic journey. I approach work with youth ... read more

I love helping others learn and reach their personal goals. My greatest satisfaction is the success of my students. I am an easygoing person and sensitive to my students’ needs, concerns and interests. While practice makes perfect, I help students use the best methods to learn more easily for their continued lifelong success. I teach students but in doing so I learn about them individually so that each experience is adjusted to the particular student. I am a creative thinker and continually work to improve myself and offer more to my students. Education never ends for me and I enjoy helping others continue with their own progress.
Working smart and using the best study skills makes learning easier and more fun. I worked with the US Department of Education for over 30 years investigating civil rights complaints from kindergarten to graduate school. I know how education works and how ... read more

As an undergraduate I worked at the mathematics tutor lab in our department. As a PhD student I both taught and assisted in the teaching of mathematics courses at the university level. Also I have experience with privately tutoring elementary, jr. high and high school students.
I help point to the truth, aiding the student in discovery. I try to avoid being overly didactic, and prefer to work by asking questions. The most satisfying thing about teaching is being able to witness and participate in the process of comprehension.

Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statistics and economics. Relating the ephemeral to the practical is important, and later allows for the information to be used in a real world setting much, much easier.
I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophy ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that questions are more powerful teaching tools than simply delivering answers. I do not wish to teach my students WHAT to think; my goal is to help students learn HOW to think, and to develop a pssion for learning which extends well beyond their formal schooling.
Most of my career has involved some level of teachng or training. I trained new volunteers during the Peace Corps, I taught rural Tunisian families how to use available resources to improve their lives, training natural education instructors and volunteers at the Wells Reserve, traqining and coordinating volunteers within my roles as Executive Director, completing all course requirements for my Maine Teacher Certification, obtaining Ed. Tech III, Highly Qualified status in Maine, and substitute teaching, and now in my role as Title I, Ed. Tech II at Valley View Community School in Farmington, NH where I work ex ... read more

I have gained valuable experience in the classroom while studying Leadership: the importance of effective communication, listening skills, and persuasion.

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Northeastern University, I have gained experience in persuasive writing, research papers and presentations. I have tutored on a volunteer basis for English as a Second Language.

A Little Bit About Me...

To whom it may concern, I have taught as a classroom teacher, a Title I teacher, and as a special education teacher. All of these experiences have given me skills I use as a teacher. I have a love of books and enjoy sharing them with children. I have always enjoyed working with children. I enjoy watching their faces when the lesson I am teaching suddenly makes sense to them! I am a strong believer in communicating with parents and working with them to best meet the needs of their children. I took a graduate course called Maine Literacy Partner: Good First Teaching. This course really helped me focus on my guided reading lesson plans. Sincerely, Kristen Clukey
I think it is important to understand that everyone can learn, however it is just a matter of how long it takes. Kids learn at different paces. They may need to be shown a different way to learn. For ... read more

Coming from a family of teachers, the importance of education has always been stressed to me. The emphasis was placed not only on succeeding academically, but also to gain a true understanding of the subject matter. I hold an Associates of Applied Science in Community Service and Leadership and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also hold a Bachelors of Science in Family Studies with a concentration on early childhood education and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I have an extensive knowledge of reading, writing and grammar and have always scored well into the 90th percentiles on standardized tests in these areas. I completed studies in French I, Spanish II, Modern Greek, and am fluent in American Sign Language.
Working with children has always been my passion. I feel as though it is important to engage all different types of learners and to make them feel as if the classroom is a place where ... read more

As an undergraduate, my focus for studies in English were both Critical Literary Analysis and Creative Writing. Analytical writing was stressed heavily, giving me the ability to interpret a text based on intrinsic value. The creative tract allowed me to experiment with my own abilities while keeping in mind strategies implemented by others I have read and studied. A requirement for all English majors at the university was to have intermediate skills in a foreign language. I have taken four semesters of Spanish at the college level with additional language labs. Spanish was also my foreign language of choice throughout secondary school and I have had first hand practice from my work in Guatemala.
The temptation as instructor is to simply restructure the way in which a student learns in order to fit your view, and those I have helped encourage such behavior. Guidance, suggestio ... read more
