ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Reedsport, OR

Throughout my college experience, I have had multiple chances to volunteer as a classroom aide, tutor, and student teach. As I am certified to teach grades K through 8, I have taken college courses in all subject areas. I have pursued in greater detail language arts, mathematics, and social science in order to earn my middle school endorsements. I have tutored students from elementary grades up through algebra 2. I have begun learning Mandarin, Spanish, and Polish. Also, I have a passion for learning which I hope to impart on my students. I was a classroom aide for a first and third grade classroom, and student taught in a third and fourth grade classroom. I believe in a teaching approach that takes into consideration each child's unique culture. Not only is culturally appropriate teaching beneficial, it's necessary! I plan to implement interactive learning and integrate curriculum. In d

I have many years of experience working with students of all ages and abilities. I have taught in public schools, in private schools, with troubled and behavior problem youth, incarcerated youths (13-20 years of age), as well as home-schooled students, small group, and one-on-one. I have tutored students in all levels of math, science, English, Spanish, social studies, and history. I also have experience with SAT and ACT prep. I truly enjoy what I do. I love enabling students to achieve their goals, become self sufficient, and successful. I teach to the individual, looking for individual strengths and weaknesses; then modify my approach to meet the needs of the individual student. My goal is to enable the student to be and do their best.

I am currently finishing my last few weeks in my Student Teaching experience at the elementary level and will receive my teaching license this summer. I have been fortunate to have worked as both a GENERAL and SPECIAL EDUCATION Instructional Assistant. I love working with students of any level and am knowledgeable and comfortable working with students with special needs (Autism Spectrum, ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Cognitive). I love to teach reading! I have had wonderful mentor teachers who have taught me fun and most importantly, effective, differentiated ways to teach students to read and retain skills. I also like to teach math and writing. I will design lessons that will work for individual students and their specific needs.

My philosophy towards education involves connecting with my students individually to motivate them and maximize their potential. Because children’s needs are so diverse, I am careful to set individualized, attainable goals for them. Otherwise, a frustrated child will quickly lose his excitement for learning. I believe in creating hands-on activities that trigger creative thinking, and I’ve found this technique promotes learning well beyond the immediate lesson. Also, I maintain a flexible environment, allowing my students to feel more control over their daily interests and lessons. For the past three years I have taught first grade in Florida. For one year I tutored third grade students in a Saturday School program. I have worked for a learning center providing educational support to students of all levels during the summer. While teaching in Florida I obtained an ESOL endorsement on my

As a water safety instructor for the past 10 years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages and at all levels. I am passionate about teaching and about children. I have several years' experience working in the public schools for my practicum and observation hours working towards my teaching certification. I studied French at the UO and minored in both Spanish and Italian. I have traveled in Europe and spent 2 months in France, gaining a real foothold on the language. I currently work with Kindergartners seven hours/day five days/week while I work on my MAED. I absolutely adore children and the innocence and passion they bring to my life. I believe each child has his or her own particular learning style and method that works best for him as well as his or her own academic struggles. It is a teacher's job to find out what way to best reach each child individually and as a group.

I enjoy teaching. Working with a student one-to-one or even in small groups allows a student to have their individual needs met. Tutoring has the advantage of catching the student where they are struggling to comprehend. I am patient, creative, and prefer to model examples for my students. I believe that a strong foundation in the basics will help a student grasp more difficult concepts. My favorite venue is the use of a dry erase board and having the student model back an example to evaluate if they understood the concepts or the steps to the solution. I have been an educator for over 10 years. Even as an undergrad, I was interested in working with children and spent my summers employed with the YMCA's youth programs. My experience is working with at-risk youth from kindergarten to high school seniors. My Master's degree in education combines coursework in special education and tal

I have been a substitute teacher for the last 3 years. I have taken on long term substitute jobs working with special education students in various grade levels focusing on reading, writing and math. During my graduate work I tutored a fourth grade student in reading once a week for a semester.

I enjoy working with elementary level students one on one to learn about their interest and how they learn. I like to create lessons that challenge students that talor to their learning styles and needs, while focusing on their interest as much as possible.

I strongly believe that education is a life-long learning experience, that children are able to learn from each other, that a teacher can facilitate the learning process and that students and teachers are able to learn from each other. I endorse the theory that all children can learn, but also recognize that they are unique individuals, who may process learning in different ways. It is, therefore, important to use the teaching method/techniques/strategies that best work with each students. I am an advocate of bringing real life into the classroom and/or taking students on field trips to experience things first-hand. I would embrace individual student differences and build on them, not only using traditional methods, but also those that are creative, innovative and hands-on. I would like to make the classroom a fun place, where students enjoy instruction and accept responsibility for

I love working with children. I have helped with pre-K and grade school children with an emphasis on working with Autistic children. All children can succeed in school given the right tools; just because they do not get the idea from one method does not mean that they won't get it from a different method. I think that all children can learn regardless of age, learning ability or other status, if given a chance. I spent two years teaching and tutoring Autistic children. I aided in routine skills, verbal skills and dealing with change. I have worked with two different children on these skills. I also have extensive skills in writing and researching for my research papers. I also have great knowledge of APA format and can write an essay in no time flat.
