ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Greenville, AL

I believe all children have potential to learn. I always try to find the best approach for teaching each child. I believe in positive reinforcement and giving a child a feeling of accomplishment after they have experienced so many feelings of failure. Teaching a child one on one is a much needed teaching method for a lot of children. I try to make learning fun and I love to see the light bulb pop on in their little minds!

I taught Kindergarten for six years in Ohio after earning my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. During that time I went back to further my education and receive my Master's in Literacy. I took an exam which made me certified to teach Reading grades K-12. During my master's program, I took a semester to tutor a struggling student. I learned how to adjust my teaching style based on his needs, making it fun, while making a difference in his education.

I did not realize I wanted to become a teacher until after I took a long-term substitute job while looking for employment. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and decided to further my education so that I could continue to teach.

Experience and education in child psychology and child development has furthered by breadth of knowledge in the special education field.

For the past two years I have gone through extensive in-service work with my school district on reading instruction. I have experience teaching ESE and ESOL students, along with regular education students. I believe that every child has the ability to learn, but each child has a different way in which they have able to learn. As a teacher it is my responsibility to find out and realize the best way for each child to be taught.

Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I thoroughly enjoy helping students to realize their full potential. I believe that all students are capable of achieving academic success so long as the teacher provides a means through which students can make personal connections with the material. I believe providing opportunities for choice encourages exploration of academic sources in even the most hesitant of students because their unique perspectives are being met and acknowledged. I am patient, knowledgeable, creative, and most importantly, dedicated to the academic success of your child. Having just graduated in May 2008, I feel lucky to have already experienced a wide range of instructional opportunities. Last fall, I was employed as a Teacher's Aide and Learning Lab Facilitator. Serving in these capacities have provided me with amazing opportunities to experience the "Respons
