My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have worked with many students who have ADD/ADHD and developed strategies to help them become successful and confident in school.

When I first meet my students, I want them to feel comfortable with me and what we will be doing. I try to get to know them as we work together and find out what their interests, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, and other important factors in their lives. I will work on homework, projects, test preparation, as well as activities and lessons I have used to be successful. I want the student and parent to develop a relationship with me where we can talk openly about the work and progress!
I have been working with Elementary aged children for over 7 years. I have had many different teaching experiences working with grades K-2. I have tutored primarily in reading with an emphasis on guided reading strategies, phonemic awareness, and word building. In the area of math, I have experience with the programs: Calendar math, Investigations, and Singapore Math. For Writing, I have used the ... read more

I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Development, which is akin to psychology. Throughout my studies, I have gained understanding of the cognitive processes of people throughout the lifespan. I have excellent grammatical skills/writing skills and my former professors have commented that my work is on a PhD level. I have helped students with writing assignments at a local high school. I am qualified to teach English as well as the social sciences, such as psychology, sociology, and history.
I believe that each individual has his/her own way of learning new information. I think it is necessary to discover your child's specific needs and apply the proper teaching methods to suit his/her learning style. I have a passion for teaching and I am willing to be patient with your child until the concepts he/she struggles with a ... read more

I have an extensive background in teaching and tutoring people of all ages and subject areas. I am extremely patient and empathetic. I also am a hard worker and understand the complexity of learning.

I love working with students and helping them to learn and understand. I believe that any student can understand any subject and that all students are able to succeed. I am an innovative, flexible, and patient individual. I am excited to work with students helping them to succeed in all that they do. As for a specific teaching style, I beleive that teachers should adapt how they teach. This ability to change is what allows all students to learn no matter past experiences in a given subject.
As someone who is working full-time and going to school full-time, I am driven to succeed in everything that I do. I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree from Liberty University so that I can teach. I have three years experience tutoring students in various levels of mathematics and the sciences, thus ensuring excelle ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a proponent of two things. First, encouragement. I always encourage the smallest success before I point out any failure. I never get frustrated or upset. I never get angry or disappointed. I know that encouragement breeds success, and success is the goal. Second, I speak to children as if they know what I mean. In other words, I never talk down to them. I almost feel as if I might treat kids more like adults than I treat adults.
I have always been very mathematical, even though I did little to cultivate it. One of my favorite classes in college was a statistics course I took, and the other was a logic class. I love to read books, and I enjoy chess as a hobby. Teaching is my true passion, and I regret leaving a teaching job to pursue a law degree, and I can only hope to pick up where I left off. I was a teacher/counselor at a teenage group home for 4 years. This was the most re ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have always loved learning for its own sake, mostly because of my passion for reading as a child. Though 120 credits are required to graduate with a B.S. in Physics, I graduated with 238 credits, which I filled up with Science, Philosophy, Social Science and English courses from other fields. I have written many philosophical essays, laboratory reports, research papers, English papers, etc, and have tutored students in Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, English, and other fields and sciences.
My goal is to simply to help. Everyone can learn, even in subjects they find difficult. I understand from first-hand experience why people can find the sciences difficult, especially Math and Physics, because I myself have had great difficulty with them in the past. So I know how hard it is, and I know that its possible to succeed despite this. I think the key is for someone to find a method o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens.

Hands on, Practice based, through step by step instruction. Visual learning whenever applicable. Geometry, algebra, physics, and some calculus are in my range of teaching. I am very patient as long as the student is trying to learn and cares about the work. Mental support of students is half the battle.
I am comfortable tutoring lower level math classes, mechanical design, or other engineering classes. Writing classes such as English, literature, or fine arts are fine as well. I have a BS in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering from MIZZOU. I am very proficient in technical editing, critiquing papers and writing technical papers.
