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

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles. I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

I have a Bachelors (BA) degree in Child Education with my Masters degree (MA) in Special Needs Education. For the past three years I have worked as an SEN teacher in three local schools in Liverpool UK working with children aged 5 years to 15 years with ADD / ADHD disorders Whether working in a classroom or one-on-one at home I treat my pupil as a friend and confidant working with him/her to gain the pupils confidence and trust as the building block for their educational needs. I am an outgoing person and try to to make learning as fun as can be but with a strict approach to achieving goals. As well as educational needs I also work with the pupil on lifestyle needs, whether going shopping, tying shoelaces painting pictures all of this falls under SEN education. I have traveled the world with my husband for the past 8 years before moving to the USA. I have vast experience of working with

I hold a middle school integrated curriculum certification. I am currently teaching 7th grade math, but have previously taught middle school social studies and science. Prior to beginning my teaching career I was the manager of my family's restaurant business, where I was in charge of training new employees about the computer system and the menu items. At the end of college I was a Teachers Assistant for a freshman level Political Science class which was taught by the head of the department at the university. I try to keep students very active in my classroom. I vary my instruction between direct instruction, hands on learning and cooperative activities. I have completed the week long training on cooperative learning at the Kagan Summer Institute. We use cooperative activities in my class daily. I have also completed Quality Schools Training with the Lee County School District. Th

ALL children can learn! I believe that the key to educational success lies in discovering HOW each individual learns best and teaching to those strengths. For instance, your child may be a visual learner and may be in a classroom where the majority of the information is presented verbally. I would take the information that your child needs to learn and make charts, use pictures, provide hands-on learning materials, etc. to teach TO your child's learning style. Through my seventeen years as an educator, I have become adept at recognizing the various learning styles and adapting my teaching to meet each individual's needs. I am passionate about teaching, positive, upbeat and, very importantly, I try to make learning as FUN as possible. I have extensive (17 years) classroom experience and hold both a BA in Elementary/Early Secondary English Education and an MS in Education/Concentration in

I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year. I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build rel

I have earned a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and a master degree in Special Education. During my education at the University of Florida, I have numerous experiences teaching and tutoring during my field placements and internships. My experiences ranged from teaching one-on-one to teaching a full classroom of 30 children. I have taught from Kindergarten age to fifth grade. I have experience teaching students with learning disabilities and with emotional disabilities in resource rooms and self-contained rooms. I believe that making learning fun and exciting benefits all children. I also believe all children have the capability of learning and advancing. It is the teacher's job to find the way each and every child learns best. Each child has a different and unique learning style and discovering this is the key to being an outstanding teacher. My goal as a teacher is to ma

I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. This works so much better than a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. If one way of teaching isn't working, I search for a different approach, until I find one that works. I try to explain concepts using ideas and terms that the student is familiar with. This allows the student to relate new concepts to already familiar ones, which helps it 'stick' better. I love 'aha' or 'lightbulb' moments - it makes it all worthwhile! After graduating from college with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I taught a year of Sp. Ed.,at the elementary level. I returned to school and e

I earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and a Master's degree in Special Education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I taught for the Priceton City Schools district in Cincinnati for 31 years.I taught mostly middle school in the areas of math and special education. I taught remedial math with our alternative school for "at risk" students. I also taught classroom management classes and special education classes for the Education Department of Xavier University. I worked part-time after I retired for a charter school company in charge of academic performance. I believe all students can learn. We have to meet our students at their learning level and interest level. When we teach our students above their learning abilities it creates frustration and poor self-image. I believe students should be offered choices in their education to give them ownership o

I utilize many different teaching techniques. I believe in enthusiasm because if I am excited my students will be excited. I teach utilizing all teaching modes from direct instruction to differentiated instruction. I also believe in collecting data and varying your teaching methods depending on progression. I have been teaching for five years in the state of Pennsylvania and three years in the state of Florida. For all eight years I have tutored students ranging in grade levels from 3rd grade to 7th grade in the subjects of language arts, mathematics, and science.

The definition of success varies from person to person, from situation to situation, from school to school, from goal to goal. A success story that I am proud to repeat to all who will listen occurred during the 2003-2004 school year. I had a group of 50 awnery, rambunctious, and extremely diverse eighth graders. These eighth graders were highly motivated. Unfortunately they were not motivated in the area of English, or responsibility, dependability, perseverance, or respect. Though these students had an abundance of creativity, knowledge, and ability, they lacked the focus and direction to use it TOWARD their education rather than AGAINST it. Through a lot of modeling, practice, encouragement, praise, and I'll admit, a lot of begging at times, these students began to become self-advocates for their own education. They began clearly seeing their education as an investment

During the past 30 years, I have earned teaching and elementary principal credentials from the State of Michigan. I also possess Masters level Reading Specialist certification taken as an undergraduate on my BA degree for Social Science. As a teacher, I have worked with students of diverse ages and lifestyles. I taught and served as vocational/academic principal in a State Correctional where I also taught ABE/GED reading and math. In the College Success Center at a Michigan Community College, I taught reading speed, comprehension, and vocabulary as well as study skills. I also hold a MA-ZA endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I prefer teching differented education (one-on-one)as opposed to whole classroom. Learning ability is a very personal thing, and each student has their own strengths upon which we can work. Teaching reading is an intense endeavor and focus is necessary. M

I am currently a local Florida Gulf Coast University Bachelor of Arts graduate of Special Education with certification to also teach general education students Kindergarten through Sixth grade. I chose to teach in the difficult area of Exceptional Education, because I desired to teach only using the best research and evidence based strategies so that every student I had the opportunity to teach will learn. Through my years of volunteering and in my final year of teaching internships at the Elementary school level, I am very excited to cater my services toward elementary aged children who need help in Math, Reading, Social Studies or Writing areas. Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking.
