ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Michael, MN

Patient. Positive.Encouraging. Keeping it light. My primary aim would be to build the student's self confidence and image. Encouraging enthusiasm for the subject matter,by making it more receptive,would be an additional desired outcome. I would place special emphasize on promoting the need to read,write,and speak well, regardless of the subject. Teaching critical thinking would also be a goal. An instructor can't really teach a student. But the pupil can be given learning support and the tutor can plant the desire to pursue the individual's own education at their own pace, by providing the right guidance. I have a B.S. in Education from NIU,Illinois. Graduate work at Northridge State,CA. I'm a volunteer tutor at Mary's Place/Sharing and Caring. I've been a Reserve Teacher for the Mpls Public schools specializing in Special Ed. for five and one half years. I'm a history judge every year f

I have experience with helping children with homework after school in the home as a babysitter. I also worked in a second grade classroom where I would help children who needed more time to grasp concepts especially in math, one on one, which helped me to develop patience and understanding and also gave me great tools to help explain concepts in many different ways until the child understands what the homework is asking of them.

After I received my degree in Elementary Education, I was a substitute teacher in IA for one year. I then worked, taught and advised at a small private college in Iowa.

I am easily able to gain students respect and attention, which has also made me a very useful substitute.

I have teaching and tutoring experience at the high school and college level. I love expanding their minds and sharing my knowledge with them. I will be a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Superior in just a few short weeks with my degree in English and Communications. I will be moving to Champlin just after the first of the year and am looking to continue tutoring. Being overwhelmed with information that is just not making sense can be frustrating and most teachers don't have the time to give individual attention to each student. Ever student has different needs and I can help them focus on areas they doesn't understand as well as others. I can also show students that studying can be fun.

I then moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin, where I taught both kindergarten and second grade. I have also worked in Minnesota for School District 194 as both an elementary summer school teacher and as a paraprofessional in a middle school Autism Program. I have tutored both elementary and middle school students in all subject areas as well as taught life skills; organization and time-management techniques.

Every child learns differently. In a world where we corporately streamline everything so that it all comes out pre-packaged and exactly the same we often lose sight of how unique each person is. I find that listening carefully to a child's reasons for having difficulty can help you to better understand how to help them learn. I find that children are often given too little credit - especially children with special needs. All children can be more than the world expects them to be. I just enjoy helping them realize that. My degree in psychology has enabled me to understand all children better, and to work especially well with special needs students. I have experience tutoring students from the ages of 3 to 40+. Subject-wise I have taught Writing, ESL, Spanish and Karate. I have even given self-esteem building talks to grade-schoolers and middle-schoolers. My experiences as a writing tutor,

As a recent Liberty University graduate having earned a B.S. in Multidisciplinary studies (emphases in Education, Counseling and Computer Science), and several years teaching experience, I offer students excellent academic support. As a tutor you will find me creative, friendly, motivating, and encouraging. I feel it is important to not only assist in academic challenges, but also organizational and study skills. My goal as an educator is to help your child grow to be a successful, independent student - one motivated from within. Learning should be fun and engaging; a necessity for effective learning. Because each student has unique academic needs, I prefer to reach students on their level with a differentiated approach. Lesson plans I create are based on students' strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. My goal for students is that they experience learning in a way that builds

When I started at the University of Minnesota in 2006, I began tutoring through an on-campus program named America Reads. Their mission is to increase literacy skills in elementary through high school aged youth in the community of the Twin Cities. I have worked with this program for over 3 years and have had experience tutoring kindergarten through third grade in reading and writing skills. I have attended workshops about ESL to help better apply my Spanish Studies major to my job. Due to the experiences I have had in the classroom and with my co-workers and supervisors, I have changed my major from Journalism and Mass Communication to Elementary Education, which I will start in Fall of 2009. I hope to combine my two concentrated areas of study and teach in a Spanish bi-lingual school. I believe that my teaching style is more modern that what teachers have used when I was in elementary
