ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cal Nev Ari, NV

Study skills and techniques to help students with ADD/ADHD keep up with their studies. My teaching experience includes several semesters of substitute teaching, and tutoring locally for 2+ years as a part-time job, dirived from volunteering as a tutor for family members and friends. As a tutor, it is my job to help students with whatever it is they are struggling in and turn their struggles to successes. I specialize in working with those who want to become better readers - comprehension, fluence, vocabulary, phonics and spelling are all key to becoming a better reader. Patience is one word to describe my teaching style. My main objective is to work with students on goal-setting and then concentrate on how to meet those goals.

I have been a life-long learner and a teacher for the last five years. I taught college for two years and elementary school for three years in the classroom. I have been an on-line tutor for the past year. Although history is my passion and I love to teach and discuss it, I also enjoy teaching reading and math to elementary students that will use this knowledge to move ahead in life and realize theselves. I am a strong believer in Humanistic learning. The teacher begins with the student's prior knowledge and likes and moves forward from there relating it not only to the study of the subject, but also to how the subject will be applied in real world situations.

I have several years of experience helping children with homework in subjects such as math, English, and reading. I received my associates degree in early childhood education from the College of Southern Nevada. My ideal job is teaching elementary school, but with a newborn child it is difficult to do that. When it comes to teaching and helping children with school work, I am very patient and kind. I am understanding of children's different learning styles, and I try to help each individual child to succeed to the best of their ability.

Over the years I have been able to work with all ages ranging from preschoolers to adult students. What has struck me most is the vast array of learning styles. I take pride in my ability to successfully and effectively adapt to each and every student I mentor. My strong belief in all students to do well has been the greatest influence in my overall teaching style. I do not give the answer to a problem or show the student how to do it. In order to truly attain and retain the information the material must be presented in a way that enables the learner to arrive at the answer him or herself. From this, there is no doubt in my mind that an impact will be made. As a graduate from the University of the Pacific, I was able to attain the honor of Magnum Cum Laude while pursuing my BA in Psychology. The extensive research required in my field has allowed me to achieve a high level of writing ski

I love working with children and watching them grow. I believe they all have different ways in which they learn. I am patient, and considerate of students and will help them until they get the answer. My goal is to help the child learn how to get the outcome to a problem. I will strive to make a difference in all their lives, to live, learn and grow.

I come from a family of seven children, four of them younger than me, and three of them adopted from the Philippines. Growing up in this setting has allowed me to become patient, tolerant, understanding, and loving. I believe that each child is different and capable of great things if acknowledged in an enthusiastic and attentive manner. I believe in asking children guiding questions to lead them through difficult material without directly presenting an answer or lecturing. I believe in using my own creativity to come up with new methods of learning so that children respond to subjects they may not otherwise enjoy. I plan on making a career out of teaching as it is my passion and I yearn to make a difference in the learning experiences of young children. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's degree in architecture which allowed me to be very understa

As a recent college graduate, I uphold and advocate the educational experience as an essential part of life. It not only expands our mental capabilities, but also builds confidence into individuals. Both bachelor degrees that I have earned have done just that. My BA in Journalism and Media Studies has enhanced my writing and grammatical skills, while my BA in Political Science has deepened my analytical and logic skills. I have put these abilities into practice while tutoring for the last two years in English, reading comprehension, and social studies classes. My teaching style can be described in two words: persistent and patient. I believe that the reason why a student may seem disinterested in education is due to fear of not understanding the subject, embarrassment of failure, and/or lack of self-motivation or focus. But all of these can be overcome with a persistent tutor who does no

In addition children can learn anything if we break it down into bits and pieces.

I love helping students to become confident and successful in school. I believe that students must play an active role in their own education and it is my job to foster this through creating meaningful lessons to fit each student's life. My patient and enthusiastic nature helps students to feel comfortable in my presence. When a student realizes that he or she is capable of learning in a one-on-one setting, they become successful in the classroom as well. I graduated with a BS in Elementary and Kindergarten Education. While attending college, I gained experience as a mentor and a teacher. I have worked with different age groups in a variety of settings. I volunteered for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and for the PA Literacy Corps tutoring ESL adult learners. I refined my English grammar through writing essays and research papers.

During my five years of undergraduate work, I was very involved in the area of child education and care. I was a volunteer for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Wisconsin, where I worked on elementary basic skills and study skills with an eight year old boy with autism. I also tutored a ten year old boy and a six year old boy in all general areas of study during my summers, with an emphasis on reading comprehension, grammar, and organization and study skills. My studies at the Universite de Caen Basse-Normandie, in Normandy, France, enhanced both my comprehension and my expression of the French language to the point where I would be confident teaching the building blocks of the language to children at the elementary, middle, or high school level.

I am very recently educated with the newest ideas, innovations, and teaching techniques. I am very patient, caring, eager to teach students, and to watch them learn and grow. Students that I've worked with in the past were at-risk, difficult, unsocial students who were very behind in school. I was able to watch them change into students who contribute in their classrooms, strived to be at their class level, loved learning and reading, and became all around great students. I know I make a difference in my students', lives and very excited to contribute more. I believe education and a safe learning environment is important for today's youth so I have been studying to be an elementary school counselor. I have three years experience working in high risk elementary schools in Washington. Along with my BA in Applied Psychology I have a minor in drug and alcohol studies, better preparing
