ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Kellerman, AL

I have tutored kids at my Church whenever someone has needed help. I am very patient and understanding of how frustrating certain topics can be, so I know I am a great candidate for tutoring. I am exceptionally great with younger kids who have ADD or ADHD since I have struggled with that myself. I know exactly how it feels to have a hard time focusing, so I would really be able to help any child with this struggle.

I am am a certified Reading Instruction Specialist and former fourth grade teacher. Most students rise 2-4 grade levels in under 50 hours of instruction using the Academic Associates Reading Program. The Academic Associates curriculum is a 13 lesson brain-based phonics curriculum. One of my favorite success stories is a student I'll call Mark. After completing only 7 lessons, Mark went from a 1.9 reading level to a 3.5 reading level. Because of his previous struggles in reading, the school he attended planned to retain him in the second grade. After only 2 months of instruction, the school called his mother to let her know that he would not be retained because of the remarkable improvement in his reading. Learning to read properly not only helped improve his grade, but prevented his being held back. I fully believe everyone can learn to read well if given the proper tools to do so. C

I enjoy working with all students. I believe the greatest experience is learning from the students. All children are unique and have different views of recieving what is being taught. I believe that it is my duty to seek ways to help that child reach his/her highest potenials. I demand high expectations and values from each student. I have a driven determination in providing my best to each student. I may not reach all as desired but, it is my goal to provide my best. I have two years experience as a special education teacher in an inclusive setting and as a resource teacher. I am very compassionate about helping students to achieve and to believe that " if anybody else can do it, I can do it to." I have tutored in my church tutorial program and for the Metropolitian Certified Teachers Program; where we provided services for struggling students to improve their scores on the SAT

I am an active teacher, especially when allowed to create my own curriculum. I love to incorporate lectures with powerpoints, videos with discussions, and book readings with field trips. I think the best way to get young people involved in learning is to keep their minds thinking and never reach the point of predictability. The last thing people accuse me of is monotony or predictability, and it is this very quality that keeps then engaged and makes me a very likable and successful educator. I received a bachelors degree in both history and sociology which gave me the credentials to teach Sociology 101 classes at the college level while attaining my masters degree, which I then used to teach as an instructor for nine months at two separate colleges. I am finishing up my second masters degree, and want nothing more than to share the knowledge I have learned with others.

Since I have completed degrees in English, and Education with a Literacy specialization, I am more than qualified to teach/tutor students in English/LA and Reading. Additionally, I've passed the Praxis II Exam that the State of Alabama requires to "highly qualify" teachers. Moreover, I have spent four 1/2 years working directly with students in Special Education and ESL. I have extensive experience with inclusion, differentiated instruction, and accomodating lessons. I believe all students can learn any material, but it’s up to teachers, parents and schools to work together to come up with the best educational plan to make sure that they do. Therefore, I prefer the collaborative and community language learning model. Since all students possess many different levels of strengths and weaknesses, I demonstrate several strategies, and allow them to choose the one that works best for the

I love working with adolescents. I believe with all of my heart that each teen has the ability to accomplish great things with the proper motivation. I truly believe that children, teens as well as adults learn best by doing. I do not believe in teaching to a particular topic. I believe in teaching to the student and how the individual student learns. I want each one of my student's to succeed in their school environment as well as in their lives. Since January 2008, I have had the opportunity of tutoring at risk 9th, 10th, and 11th graders at Leeds High School's AVID (Achievement Via Individual Determination). I attempt to teach them critical thinking skills, reading skills, as well as studying skills. I have worked with the AVID program while I completed my Masters Program.

Most of my experience is working with students who have issues beyond a normal student whether it be learning disabilities, behavior problems,or emotional/phsychological issues. I have taught in many alternative school settings, but I have also taught in main stream schools, both public and private. I have successfully taught students to read and write when the system had given up on them, and on the flip side of the coin, I have taught advanced placement/honors students. I have taught grades seven through twelve. I believe that learning needs to be fun, but that students need, and most of the time want, structure in their classrooms. I believe that learning needs to be relevant to students. They need to know why and where in their lives they will need or be using what they are being taught. I use a variety of instuctional methods while teaching (lecture, discussions,group activities, et

I have been a Reading Buddy in the Hoover School System for the last 10 years and am currently working with students in the Latino After-School Program at Rocky Ridge Elementary. While volunteering, I worked with struggling readers, English Language Learners, and students is Special Ed with ADD/ADHD. I'm currently working toward my Masters in Teaching - English as a Second Language and enjoy working with ELLs. Last summer, I worked for ETS, Educational Testing Services, as an item writer for TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication )in Princeton, NJ. It was challenging work and gave me a different perspective of the English language. My strengths are in language arts, reading, writing, decoding, etc... I like to take a 'backdoor' approach with my students by creating activities that are interesting and fun. I think this helps in changing the student's attitude from a negati

I am a hands on/visual, motivating, guided/sheltered, higher order critical thinking teacher with exceptional classroom management skills. I love teaching students how to think however, not what to think. I do this by guiding their learning by using project based learning activities that help them process what they have learning in logical steps using technology. Therefore, the end results of this process is a technologically based product which allows my students to communicate to me in writing what they have learned (PPP)! I am a well educated, award winning educator who has successfully taught a multitude of academic subjects in to students in grades ranging from kindergarten through the eight grade! In addition to this, I have also received extra training in teaching math, science and technolgy. The training that I have received has allowed me completely engage my students in m

During high school, my teacher requested that I help others in my class and I realized how much I loved helping others understand how accounting works. Also in helping my children with their school work, I have learned that each child is different and learns in different ways. I would describe my style of teaching as finding out how a particular student learns best and work form that foundation. Some learn better by seeing an example and then working it out on their own with someone to consult if they get stuck. Other learn better with what they hear and others what they read. It is better to see how each person learns best and teach from that angle. Also, patience is the greatest teaching aid available to any teacher or student. I earned both of my degrees while working and caring for very young children. I feel this was possible because of my time management skills and determinat

Children are one of the greatest joys in life because I get to watch them learn and understand the world around them. Children are sponges that soak up all the knowledge present to them. My teaching style is hands on. I want children to learn not just by a book but by practical application. When children discover material through experiences they are more likely to remember and be better prepared for life. I am driven by knowledge, the more knowledge I have the more I can relate to people from all walks of life. I have always been fascinated most by science and psychology. I studied biology, chemistry and psychology in college and earned a bachelors degree in Psychology. Through this I have acquired grammatical skills on how to write research papers and lab reports. I taught a study tactics course for a year and a half that focused on chemistry. This gave me the advantage to not only t

I have recently completed my student teaching requirement and will receive my teacher certification within the next few months. I have been a substitute within the Decatur City Schools System for the past two years in order to gain more first-hand teaching experience. Throughout the course of earning my Master’s Degree, through observations and student teaching, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with a diverse group of students, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade-level, and those who were considered gifted or exceptional. My greatest joy in life is teaching children and opening their eyes to all of the things they are capable of doing and learning. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and
