Valerie S - Bucksport, ME 04416 (18.2 mi) - ADD/ADHD Tutor - $38.00/hr.
I first determine the student's learning style so I have an idea what works for him or her.
Learners who have experienced repeated failure need successful experiences to help build self-confidence; I start with what they can do successfully already.
Knowing the individual's interests and talents helps me tie the topic to something important to the student, and to help them understand how the topic relates to their present and future lives.
Finally, helping the individual understand how she or he learns is the key that will allow him or her to take control. I help the student identify strategies and systematic ways to problem-solve so that she or he can develop independence. As a music therapist, I learned to apply my creativity to design instruction that allows the learner to be actively and successfully engaged in learning.
As a special educator, I learned to quickly problem-solv

Brooke L - Castine, ME 04421 (31.5 mi) - ADD/ADHD Tutor - $40.00/hr.
While attending Bates College, I was motivated academically to achieve the best education possible. I sought out teachers who inspired me to work harder and enjoyed participating in chapel services, community service activities and participating in competitive sporting events. During school vacations, I explored jobs that followed my academic strengths. To date, I have earned two degrees, a BA in English from Bates College and a M.Ed. in Curriculum Development from Lesley University. I am certified to teach 6-12 in the state of Florida and 7-12 in Maine, and learned the art of creative nonfiction writing applying this skill later to community news reporting.

Elisha H - Parkman, ME 04443 (41.1 mi) - ADD/ADHD Tutor - $34.00/hr.
I am a naturally curious person who has always loved words, and spends a good deal of time reading and writing. Throughout my educational career, I have gained experience in reading, analyzing, and writing about various literary works; I enjoy debating the meaning of any written work, and writing about nearly any subject. I love to introduce new friends to my favorite authors and writing styles, and appreciate the chance to learn from other people in regards to the things that interest them! Teaching children of any age is something that I truly enjoy, particularly learning about each child and their interests and manner of learning. I encourage the children I work with to think for themselves, to search for new ideas and meanings, and to always consider others' perspectives in making decisions. I believe that everyone learns by different means, and in tutoring others, I try to find the
