ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Cat Spring, TX

I began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure. I already knew I liked them because I started babysitting when I was 11 and couldn't stop! Then in ninth grade, a neighbor failed kindergarten and asked if I would starting coming over several days a week to help him understand what was being taught. Needless to say, he made it to the first grade! I now have a 17 year old sister who is constantly asking for my assistance in her homework and it is with great pleasure that I assist her. I have a background in Psychology, so I am extremely intuitive with what a person needs regarding their learning style. I am able to adapt my teaching style to their needs. Pati

Having taught for more than five years as a certified teacher, I feel that I have what it takes to be an educator. Understanding the psyche of the student is of prime significance to me, which helps me in directing the teaching strategies and techniques. In order to let the student realize the significance of learning, I try to design a curriculum that is application based. I prefer that the student understands the purpose behind learning. In order to achieve my goal, I spend quality time in talking and developing an effective communication platform. I avoid doing rote learning. Therefore I make the worksheets and lesson plan as application based as I can. Some techniques and strategies are also employed on occasions.

I believe that I can offer a motivational, technological, organized teacher with the goal of enriching young minds to be well educated and well rounded students. My focus will not only be on my students' educational needs but also on their self development fostering their individual growth. I am a firm believer that all children can learn when provided with the toolls necessary and an enriching environment. I pride myself in letting students learn through self discovery while teaching them independence and confidence. At LSU and throughout my years of teaching, I was provided with numerous opportunities to work with children in many different educational settings.  Not only have I been exposed to different grade levels but I have also taught gifted as well as special education students.  Working with these children allowed me to understand the whole child and taught me the importance of

As briefly stated above, I love teaching! I love working with children of all ages. I have been quite successful as an instructor because I have a fantastic rapport with students. Among my qualities: I am patient, flexible, knowledgable, easy going, and have a great sense of humor -- which really is important. I am a big believer in giving feedback to students. Yet, I always do this in a constructive format. I always try to create a successful learning environment so the student may succeed. My main objective in tutoring is to find out a child's strengths and weaknesses. From there, I can garner an idea on how best to tackle turning the weaknesses into strengths. I always give 110% at everything that I do. Helping a child learn is no different. I have two degrees from college: A Master's Degree in Communications and a BA in Journalism. I have been teaching now for about eight years (all

I graduated in June 2009 with my Master’s in Elementary Education as well as my Texas teaching certification. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I completed my student teaching experience in the second grade as well as completed a long term substitute teaching experience in the second grade classroom as well. Last August I completed my first year of teaching in a third grade classroom. I also participated in an afterschool tutoring program for third and fourth grade students with an emphasis on Mathematics and Reading. I have worked around children in some capacity for most of my adult life, and truly enjoy teaching! I believe strongly that every child has the ability to learn and can experience success in an academic environment given the right tools. I am compassionate and easy going, and believe children learn in different ways. My style of teaching in

As an elementary school teacher, I have experience teaching children to read. For 3 years I worked in schools as a reading professional with children whose reading skills were below grade level. I have also worked as a private tutor in math and reading. I have extensive knowledge of teaching phonics, using appropriate reading material to establish reading fluency, and helping children achieve mastery of critical reading skills. I believe that positive reinforcement is the most effective way to motivate a student to learn. Each child must learn to identify his or her strengths and use those strengths to solve problems. I believe guided practice is necessary to establish support for students as they are learning until they ultimately can perform tasks independently. I am very clear and thorough with my students and I have high expectations that each child will succeed.

For the last 23 years, I have educated elementary, middle, high school and adult students in all subject areas. I also served as a Language Arts Tracher/Trainer in the U.S. Peace Corps. As a special educator, I taught students with behavior problems and learning disabilities. My service in education has compelled me to develop a strong sense of compassion for educating individuals, by providing them with the encouragement to boost their desire for learning, as well as tools for acquiring success. Having taught, elementary, middle, high school, and adults; I have discovered that learning can and will take place. The type of learning that needs to take place depends on the type of teaching that is facilitated.

As a graduate of Texas Southern University, where excellence is our motto, I was driven to acheive excellence in biology. I earned my BS in Biology in December of 2009, which has enabled me to gain understanding in science and math. I have also learned during my time at TSU to write and gain skills in writing due to writing lab reports and many essays along the way. During the last five years I have had a chance to tutor a few of my fellow biology majors in biology. Teaching and working with children I believe is a passion one must have it can't be acquired. All children can learn and can find a joy in the learning process if they are guided well. I am patient and easy going with all especially children of all ages. I believe all children have the right to the best education possible. My goal is to provide and serve the children in the quest for educational excellence.

I love helping other people, especially those that want to better their lives by acquiring a skill or talent. Many students who seem to “not get it” or have been left behind do learn what is needed if only they could relate it to their lives, had someone show them a different way to look at it, or would just take that extra moment to clarify the point. I also believe that all students will rise to any expectation or goal set when they are empowered with the tools needed to succeed and an inner belief that they are truly winners. As a student at Sam Houston State University, I practiced my teaching skills by offering free tutoring to all of my classmates focusing on study skills, memorization and improving writing skills. I attained a BA in English while maintaining an A average, staying on the dean’s list, and earning scholarships. Minoring in history has allowed me to couple literary p
