ADD/ADHD is one of my top subjects! As someone who struggles with ADHD, I have firsthand experience on what it is like to learn with an atypical brain. I believe that I have countless strategies that will aid one to use ADHD to their advantage. It is not a weakness, and can be used to one's advantage!

I am a relaxed, patient tutor. I mainly teach specific strategies and "game plans" that I can tailor to each student's needs. When I was taking the ACT, it calmed my nerves knowing that I had set steps to follow that would help me reach my goal. Additionally, because I suffer from ADHD and have overcame the obstacles it has presented, I know extremely helpful ways to make studying easier for ADHD students.
I have tutored students from my local high school and elementary school. Not only that, but I have also proofread essays and assisted in the college essay writing process. Throughout my life, I have been an avid reader and writer, always excelling in my classes. Furthermore, my writing has been published online and in the newspaper, as I was the communication lead of my high school's Lemelson MIT InvenTeam. Furthermore, I have taken the ACT fairly recently, and believe that m ... read more

My teaching is guided by the needs of my learners; hence, I create learning by setting my students on their needs and interests to life-long academic endeavors. On this journey, I help to develop strategies, techniques, and skills that will direct them on the path to help my pupils to want to succeed and to have the desire to victorious in their dreams and perceive the idea that life is predetermined by where you are; instead, they catch a glimpse of who, what, and where they can go in the creation to develop a dream.

I feel that children can learn if we recognize their individual strengths and weaknesses.Teachers can best help students learn by incorporating everyday life into their curriculum. In addition, effective teachers provide students with experiences that enable them to learn by doing, not just watching.I believe that the best teaching practices include patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement.This all leads to a healthy and productive learning environment as well as a good source of classroom management skills.I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was little and I feel I have one of the most rewarding jobs out there because I can make a difference in a child’s life just like many of my teachers did for me.
In May 2003, I graduated Dowling College with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.In addition, in January 2007 I completed m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe instructors should be fair and knowledgeable in order to be effective educators. I believe allowing students to have some flexibility and leadership in their own learning makes a more enthusiastic and motivated student. I believe instruction should be purposeful, meaningful, and appropriate for what each student is required and capable of attaining. I also use assessments (formal and informal) to measure and adjust learning goals for all students regularly.
I have taught elementary through high school special education as well as regular education course loads. I have experience in alternative school settings, juvenile justice, and public school, as well as GED prep work. I regularly integrate technology into instruction and attend professional development opportunities when they are provided.

More About This Tutor...

I have over 15 years experience instructing martial arts to children as young as pre-school age to young teens; and the past 5 years as an academic tutor for students ranging from elementary through middle school. Through my tutoring services, I’ve tutored students in Mathematics, but the majority of students I assist are struggling readers. To help struggling readers, I believe in strong intervention guided by planning, personal attention, positive reinforcement, and parental participation. All remedial instruction must begin with a plan, and for each struggling student my strategy is to establish an attainable "end goal" and a path to meet that goal. Once the plan is established, I believe in working with the student individually, or in small group. These sessions are important, because they provide a quiet, anxiety-free setting for the student, while enabling me to track progre ... read more
