My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have a Bachelors (BA) degree in Child Education with my Masters degree (MA) in Special Needs Education. For the past three years I have worked as an SEN teacher in three local schools in Liverpool UK working with children aged 5 years to 15 years with ADD / ADHD disorders

I have traveled the world with my husband for the past 8 years before moving to the USA. I have vast experience of working with many types of children a lot of whom didn't have English as a first language. My training as a special needs teacher and my global experience has taught me to be very adaptive in my teaching style when working with SN kids. I have attended and passed many training courses both educationally, psychologically and medically. I keep myself up-to date with all the latest teaching methods.
Whether working in a classroom or one-on-one at home I treat my pupil as a friend and confidant working with him/her to gain the pupils confidence and trust as the building block for their educational needs. I am an outgoing person and try to to make learning as fun as can be but with a strict approach to achieving goals. As well as educational needs I also work with the pupil ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I am teaching and directing my students there is nothing more gratifying to me than to be able to impart my medical skills, knowledge and wisdom of years in science and medicine. The sciences are so intermingled that there is a flow in the life sciences and a clear and complete picture. I like to convey the big picture of the subject. I like my students to have a style of putting their lession together making their own flow-chart to see how each subject then goes to a sub-title and so on. With the use of the gross and microscopic world, science is nothing but discovery and your student can use his or her art to record their discoveries by drawing what you see. I see this method as self-fulfilling.
During my professional life, the better I was able to explain my patient's condition or pathology of the diagnosis, enabled a more trusting relationship. My hospital priv ... read more

As a graduate student I taught pre-service teachers educational psychology and multicultural perspectives on learning. As a graduate student in school pscyhology and practicing school psychologist I assessed students learning ability and designed interventions to improve their academic skills. My writing and editing skills are very good. I have extensive experience working with special education students. I have experience tutoring students in reading and teaching students with autism.
I work best in a one-on-one situation. I feel that students learn best in a relaxed atmosphere where learning is fun. Students also need to see that they are making progress and feel confident in their ability, so I try to devise a system that shows them their progress and motivates them toward a stated goal. I also believe strongly in variety. All students learn differently and it is importa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am qualified to assist with aspects of their education and training, if this something you'd like. I had a teaching credential and at one time as a full time teachers aide, with experience in grades first to six and train staff in a variety of software programs. I am currently retired from the classroom, but have the ability to tutor basic subjects and to oversee homework assignments and special curriculum-related projects.
What I like most about tutoring is the great nervous energy and excitement I feel as I work with children, this despite the fact that I have been tutoring for over 5 years. The anticipation of meeting so many new people and working with other students and starting adventure in learning gets my juices flowing. It is the excitements of the students that I come across keep my interest each time I interact with them. It never ceases to amaze me how every student ... read more

My goal is to compassionatley help students progress and succeed in any subject. I worked for the District School Board of Collier County. As an art teacher, all subjects were intertwined into the curriculum.

I worked in California for one year as a substitute teacher; I worked for three years in a Christian School first in a 3-4 combination, then a 5-6 combination, then a 4-5 combination. I then moved on to tutoring. My first year was with Sylvan Learning Center, then with a private tutoring group, One to One Learning Center in Santa Rosa, CA. for six years. After moving to Florida and working in The Department of Children and Families, I tried other fields of work. From 2006 on, I have worked as an independent contractor for a local tutoring business. I tutor all age groups and specialize in SAT, ACT, and FCAT preparation. I also tutor students in Reading Comprehension and Study Skills.
I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels. I meet them and determine their learning style as well as general abilities. Helping each student to discover his or her strengths i ... read more

I like to teach by example and immersion. So much of what schools preach today is rote memorization, and to a certain degree, this cannot be avoided. But whenever possible, I like to try and find real world applications and demonstrations to get my lessons across to my pupil.
Throughout high school and college, I've always excelled in my school work. I was president of the math club and often tutored my peers during my spare time. The University of Florida has provided me with a well rounded education, and I feel myself knowledgable in many areas, from languages like french, spanish and hindi, to the sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics. I'm also very familiar with writing term papers.

A Little Bit About Me...

My work experience over the last 25 years has been a variety of private tutoring, public schools, and a residential treatment center. I have experience working with all ages of children from kindergarten to college level. I specialize in teaching children with learning disabilites, or students who seem to struggle with learning new skills or retaining information.
My teaching style is based on; first instilling in the student that they "can" learn and there is nothing they cannot achieve. I teach them through building on successes and the skills they already know, then introduce new skills and practice applying them to real life situations where this step allows the students to see the relevancy of what they are doing. I believe in providing a multitude of verbal praise for each step of learning. I believe in encouraging students to ask questions and not be afraid to say for th ... read more

I believe in giving children a means of expression that is positive while nurturing their creativity. Many things can be learned through art. All children can feel successful through art thus building self-esteem and confidence. The passion that I have for what I do is infectious I am told. I am patient yet fun, open and dedicated and love to see children blossom. All children are creative and I love to give them the tools and knowledge to reach their full potential :-)
I am passionate about children and Art. I have a BA in Art with a minor in Business and also Art Education. I have volunteered my time teaching art to children as well as painting murals locally.

A Little Bit About Me...

My passion for language and literature drives my desire to teach; I love to share everything from a basic grammar lesson to an in-depth, critical exegesis of a foreign novel. I strive to provide an individual-based educational experience for each child. I draw on each student's strengths and weaknesses to tailor each lesson. As the poet Stanley Kunitz once wrote, "live in the layers / not on the litter."
As a graduate of a private liberal arts college, I was educated in English and multi-cultural literature. As a reflection of what I was learning, I became interested in participating in the literary tradition, and began to take creative writing very seriously. I developed a passion for both poetry and literature and wish to share it with my students. I have tutored English, writing, history, ecology, and screenwriting.

I am a seasoned professional Tutor for the past 5 years; all subjects all grades. I have a BS from Florida International University and MS from Nova University (all coursework completed earning all A's). Having success in learning has as much to do with attitude as it does understanding and retention. This is the ultimate goal not only for the student, but the Tutor as well!
I've worked with children for the past 20 years and know the importance of helping children develop a positive attitude towards learning! Chances are if a student is having difficulty achieving academic goals, then they probably don't enjoy that subject and naturally resist that, which they need most. There are ways to develop a child's self esteem so they want and even enjoy learning!

I remember thinking years ago: "What will I ever use this for?" In tutoring my children, sometimes their friends, in addition to training my employees, I strive to create excitement by showing a need and an application for new information. I tend to retain information if I have a use for the knowledge, and believe others feel the same. Ignorance is simply the lack of information, and can be corrected with the proper presentation and guidance. The challenging and most rewarding is to find the method that "clicks" with the student, and seeing the light of realization in their eyes.
Growing up the son of an English teacher, and a high school principal, education was obviously paramount in the home environment. I graduated from Indiana University with Business Degree, most of my work experience was in training and development of new employees, with a strong emphasis on demonstration, e ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe the best way to teach is to relate the subject to the children. A child may not understand fractions but if you ask them to divide up a candy bar, they know how many pieces they want to split it in to and how many they want. I believe that listening is the key to teaching. A good teacher and a good listener is the difference between a child attending school and a child excelling in school.
While living in Japan, I taught English to the Japanese nationals and was a teacher's aide in the Department of Defense Dependent's Schools in the special needs department. I worked directly with middle school children who had ADD, ADHD as well as other physical handicaps including Cerebral Palsy. I have 3 children that I have had to help with their homework and projects throughout the years. I enjoy working with children and believe education is the key to developing responsible ... read more
