I have been teaching ADHD?ADD students for three years. I have learned how to teach the child while accommodating their unique learning style and attention span. First, I like to determine a student's learning styles. Not all student learn the same. There are visual learners who learn by looking and writing. There are tactile learners who learn by doing and moving around (hands-on activities), then there are auditory learners who learn from hearing the information. I accommodate all styles int he classroom, but when tutoring, I assess the child by doing a learning style inventory which allows me to determine what style that particular child has. For visual learners, we use the basic paper and pencils, they watch me work. I model problem solving for them and then monitor them. For tactile learners, we pull out materials we can use our hands to work s with. For auditory learners,

I enjoy teaching children. I normally have a very relaxed style, but I emphasize setting goals and completing the task at hand. I gain a great deal of personal satisfaction in helping others learn. I believe the most important attributes of a good teacher are, 1. keeping the student's best interest in mind, and 2. maintaining a positive attitude and keeping the learning process interesting for the student.

I love working with children. I believe that every child can learn. Education is centered around social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual learning in a healty, caring and nuturing enviroment. Children can learn almost anything when they are taught in a way that takes into account their learning ability. I believe curriculim planning and assesment helps determine the educational need of each child. I believe the key to education is to help students relate to new information and process new informationd, because I really believe that there is a GENIUS IN EVERY CHILD. I have experience working with Pre-K thru 4th grade. I have taught reading , writing, math, social studies, science, and character edeucation. I have a Bach.

As an elementary school teacher, I have experience teaching children to read. For 3 years I worked in schools as a reading professional with children whose reading skills were below grade level. I have also worked as a private tutor in math and reading. I have extensive knowledge of teaching phonics, using appropriate reading material to establish reading fluency, and helping children achieve mastery of critical reading skills. I believe that positive reinforcement is the most effective way to motivate a student to learn. Each child must learn to identify his or her strengths and use those strengths to solve problems. I believe guided practice is necessary to establish support for students as they are learning until they ultimately can perform tasks independently. I am very clear and thorough with my students and I have high expectations that each child will succeed.
