ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Barnstable, MA

During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6th grade public speaking skills. I have applied the skills I learned to my current job as a home tutor. I tutor elementary to high school students in all subjects. My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them

My favorite thing about teaching is when my students finally understand and make a connection to what I have been teaching them. I believe that all children have the ability to be successful; it just takes the right approach and the right tools to connect to each student. I believe that a good teacher teaches to the many different learning styles of their pupils, and continues to provide challenging and engaging instruction. I am a patient, responsible, and respectful individual who loves children and helping them to reach their full potential. As a professional educator it is my responsibility to make sure that all my students are given the skills and tools they need to help them to be successful in their next grade level. I currently teach AM/PM kindergarten which means I have to find fun and engaging ways to teach students all the skills they need to acquire in kindergarten in half

My passion as a teacher is working with children. I have a passion for education that I hope to show through my teaching and share with all of my students. I believe every student learns differently and has strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to get to know my student's leaning styles and help them develop their strengths and use those strengths to improve the areas that are more difficult for them. I believe in Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and I use the intelligences as often as possible in my lesson plans. I believe that there are many ways to learn and some thing that works for one student might not work for all. Through my teaching style, I will help my student's have a passion for learning. I have a unique resume of teaching experience. I have worked in a number of settings from pre-school to teaching adults. I have taught in public schools, private scho

I am currently studying to become a High School Biology Teacher and will be taking the Mass. Test for Education License in May 2011. In 2009 I joined AmeriCorps and worked for the Mountain Studies Institute in Durango Colorado. While I was there, I held educational workshops, presentations and forums. While in school I helped my classmates in two separate ways. One as a part-time peer tutor, the second as the co-president of the Reef Check Volunteer Club. As such I again got to train members to look for specific indicator species of biological importance. I also worked at a museum of natural science in Granville NY. While here I lead nature hikes and designed activities for elementary school classes and day camps. I've have always enjoyed working with children of all ages, and find that each child is unique. Each one learns in their own way, and one of my greatest strengths is being a

As a student, I was ambitious and pursued excellence. I earned a BA in General Social Ecology, which is the study of the ways people and the environment interact. As a graduate, I had experiences and opportunities to work with people and gain an understanding in nurturing and working cooperatively with others. While working in the financial services, I took evening courses in Early Childhood Education. Three months later, I was hired as a preschool teacher for a private school in Santa Monica, California. I continued for 2 years until I moved to Boston to pursue an Ed.M in Early Childhood Education. During the last 2 years, I worked as a reading interventionist and, currently, as a first grade teacher. Having taught first grade for the last year and a half, I am skilled in teaching early reading, math, and writing. Working with young children is a passion I have pursued for the last four

After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University.

Since the fall of 2006, I have been working in public schools in Bo

My philosophy will always be re-evaluated and revised as I acquire new skills in the field of education. My primary role as an educator is to foster student development and individual growth. I want students to leave my classroom self-directed and well prepared for further studies. As an educator, I will teach and develop a solid foundation for life-long learning. I have a strong desire to be a factor in student achievement and find great fulfillment interacting with learners, encouraging their educational development, and guiding them to realize their fullest potential. My name is Jill Carrio and over the years I have had the opportunity to hold some extraordinary teaching and training positions. I currently work evenings at ITT Technical Institute in Norwood, MA as a tutor, student mentor, and assistant. I am now looking forward to applying my knowledge, skills, and experience with y

In my first teaching position, I worked with emotionally disturbed and learning disabled students at the elementary level in the South Bronx. This included providing individual, small group and whole class instruction to students with learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and multiple disabilities. In my second and third year teaching, I worked at The Guild for the Blind on West 65th Street in New York City. It was a not-for-profit, non-sectarian agency that served persons of all ages who were visually impaired and multidisabled to achieve lives of dignity. In my particular class, there were six children, three assistants, one teacher and two health aides. All of my students were multiply and developmentally disabled and I had to accommodate all their levels of needs. I am currently teaching at a private Special Education school in Newton, MA. Here, I am teaching World Hi
