ADD/ADHD is one of my top subjects! I have a mild/moderate special education credential and have worked with many students with ADD/ADHD.I work on study skills, work habits,fine motor skills, organization and social skills as they pertain to academics, which are areas of struggle for the students with these issues. I also help students with interest/career direction and testing. I have worked with curriculum such as Touch Math, Step Up to Writing, Explode the Code,and Handwriting Without Tears. I have also raised 3 kids with ADD who have just finished their first year of college.

15 years of teaching children with special needs has given me a great understand of what your child needs. I have a passion for teaching and love to work with all students, seeing results in growth of self esteem, knowledge and the meeting of their potential. I have 15 years' experience in the special education field. Since I started my career, I have learned the art of communication and the ability to work with students of all ages, parents, and staff in consulting and educational interaction. I have a Master's degree in special education and hold both my clear Level 2 mild/moderate special education credential and my multiple teaching credential, as well as my autism authorization. Over the years I have found that the best learning and the best teaching is done on an individualized basis, and so I have decided to continue my career as a one-on-one tutor.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : Many of my students struggle with this learning issue, but can overcome and learn how to navigate with it!

I am a seasoned literary specialist, I GET TANGIBLE RESULTS. I have been the Executive Director of a literary organization for over 20 years, and I have taught all ages of students in elementary, high school and colleges, as well as adults out of college. I have been actively tutoring private students for three years. I absolutely love working with young (and young at heart) people.

I can help with remedial tutoring and advance a gifted student who needs a challenge.

ADD/ADHD is one of my top subjects!

Many of my previous jobs have surrounded helping others. Whether that was through tutoring and teaching or customer service. Growing up I also tutored my younger sister and my cousin who has a learning disability. I have always been passionate about helping others, especially through education. Currently, I am pursuing a major in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley in hopes of becoming a teacher for K-12 students and eventually a college professor.

Make school work.

I have been in education for 16 years. I specialize in working with students with ADD/ADHD, specific learning disabilities as well as students who underachieve. I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and have successfully worked with students all over the Bay Area to help them realize their full potential.
Not all students are successful and the trick is to identify the reasons behind the lack of success. The issues that students have with school are diverse; procrastination, lack of organization, failure to plan, lack of awareness, ineffective habits, learning disabilities, and differences are all possible explanations for school failure. I work with students one on one to help them pinpoint where things break down for them and then work with them to find strategies to help them manage the skills and material they are asked to learn and master. I am there to guide, not ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My Teaching Style is to build a relationship with the student and their family. That is based on trust, confidence and a great deal of praise. Everyones performance is driven by the encouragement that they get on a daily basis. So a very important part of my teaching style is to include the whole family. As well as to encourage them to praise my student daily. Also they must provide activities that challenge their mind and build there confidence. This allows everyone to be a part of their success. For example: If they are working on reading skills. They must allow the child to read to them nightly.
I love to tutor because it gives me an opportunity to help students build their skills and to teach them that they have the ability to learn anything,they want to learn and are willing to put their mind, determination and dedication into. I strongly believe that most if not all students ... read more

My doctoral dissertation examined college-level remedial reading and writing students in an effort to determine if adding online instruction to traditional instruction would improve student performance. My dissertation explored five hypotheses, and I found statistical significance in all five; thereby supporting the notion that adding online instruction to traditional instruction can improve student learning. While I was a doctoral student, I was also a Merit Scholar. In addition to my teaching, I have also tutored elementary, high school, and college students in reading, writing, and the understanding of Literature. I have also worked a great deal with ESL students.
My love of teaching is stimulated most when working with students who require the most assistance. Through my study in Educational Psychology, I have learned that all students have their own learning styles; I am able ... read more

I believe that every child is an individual with a distinctive story. Embracing such stories, I will make a profound difference on my students. Validating students’ abilities, experiences, and interests creates a trusting atmosphere. My role as teacher is to guide my students into authentic learning. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves practical skills. Every child has the ability to take control of their learning by thinking, reading, and writing critically. I believe it is important to employ a variety of delivery methods, using methods that incorporate all intelligences and learning abilities while let the students natural abilities shine.
For the last two years I have worked as a tutor with elementary aged children on phonemic awareness, comprehension, improving analytical ability, and basic math skills. While teaching and t ... read more

As a lifelong learner, I'm always motivated by students who have a curiosity for improving their own skills. I have a BA in liberal arts from Vassar College and a MS in Education from Queens College, which I earned through the full-time work/part-time study New York City Teaching Fellowship. I am fluent in Spanish, conversant in Japanese and French, and am always excited about learning more languages. As a special education teacher, I've worked with large classrooms, team taught with colleagues, and overseen the development of children with more severe disabilities in reading, writing, and math.
I believe that education should be tailored to the needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student. I believe in consistent positive reinforcement and praise, and in tracking and measuring skills so that students have evidence of their progress. I hope to help students discover the in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a first generation college graduate from Saint Mary's College of CA with a degree in Sociology/Anthropology which has allowed me to work with a variety of age groups in different socioeconomic backgrounds. I have extensive experience in writing research reports and tutoring experience in a variety of subjects from K-12.
I love making a difference in a child's life, whether it is academic or to get them organized to be more successful in the long run. I feel that I am patient and lack judgment on the child as each child is different and learns in different ways. After struggling with my academic career, I feel that my best way of helping the child is help them since I did not always have the resources available to succeed. I want them to feel that they can do anything.

I have been a substitute teacher for about 10 years specializing in math & physics. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering plus 20+ years of maintenance/engineering experience. I incorporate practical examples in teaching to give students in depth knowledge in a practical sense. I gather my examples from my varied career experiences from the Military, Aircraft, Engineering, Manufacturing/Maintenance & Computer fields. I sporadically tutors students in my specialty.
I use the Active Participation strategy because it engages the learner not only in understanding but in contributing as well. This active learning process combined with introduction of practical uses/examples of the the subject matter provides a deeper meaning. But most of all the Objective,Purpose,and what their interests are, must be known so that these can be incorporated in the learning process.
