My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : Play attention provider.Play attention is a biofeedback, computer-based program for children with attention problems. It is designed to improve attention and teach skills necessary to engage and attend. There is built in fun to compare and try to beat previous game scores. Each session consist of 5 biofeedback successive games that are engaging, minimum of 2-3 times per week for one hour each day, which includes behavior interventions and coaching. In each game the child gets to see how his/her attention (or distracting behaviors) affect the characters on the screen and thus scores. As they see their progress they learn to recognize the relationship between distracting behaviors and their ability to focus. It takes an average of 40-60 hours to complete the program.  My success with the program has shown changes begin in just four weeks training . Also, Incredible long-term results like finishing homework on-time, ignoring distractions, less day dreaming, better grades, and better behavior are some of the long term payoff.

Organized, creative and flexible in the design and implementation of intensive, explicit and comprehensive direct instruction. Skilled in assessing strengths and needs to develop an individualized structure and schedule in the natural environment in a systematic and sequential way. Dedicated to building lasting skills acquisition by scaffolding adaptive sensory-motor responses. Excelent behavioral management techniques in anticipating behaviors and addressing coping skills, problem solving and communicative functions. Seasoned and assertive teacher devoted to excellence, who takes pride in my passion for helping children reach their hidden potentials and improve quality of life.

I Promise that you will have fun while you Learn!

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

homer_azizgolshani@yahoo.com                                                          (818)424-7014 To whom may concern   I have six years of experience in working with children of various ages (from infancy to the age of seventeen). I have all 15 units child development required to work with infants and preschoolers plus 24 units psychology units, beside my math and science education.

Another responsibility was to work with after-school students on their homework and assignments. I also attended and supported field trips in summer time. It is meaningful to serve children, and it is a job that makes a ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child can learn it is merely a matter of finding the proper teaching method.
As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences.

I started tutoring high school students; helping them with anything from test prep to organizational and study skills. I then started tutoring younger children helping them complete their homework, understand their material, and how to study for tests. I have over seven years experience tutoring students and getting results. I love children and helping them succeed in school is my passion.
I am very patient with students. I am not quick to tell them how to do a problem or what the answer is because the student will never learn how to do it on their own. I allow the student to work through the problem, offering my assistance along the way.

A Little Bit About Me...

I loved teaching in the classroom setting and will probably go back to that someday, but I have found a real passion and excitement these last two years working one-on-one with students. I enjoy getting to know students, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and using both to help them become lifetime learners. I feel strongly that students who struggle with reading, spelling and comprehension should receive special help at an early age and that the right methods can give them the skills they need to be successful in the future. I look forward to giving students the opportunity to succeed!

My degrees are in elementary education and special education. I have worked as a self-contained special education teacher, a resource teacher, and as a music specialist. I am also a published author and could help an upper grade student to improve his or her writing and composition skills.
