More About This Tutor...

I have taught grades 9 - 12 and have experience with tutoring college-level students in the health sciences. I am highly proficient at working with students with special-needs and diverse learning styles.
I have over five years of science teaching experience on the high school level. I am passionate about the sciences and have an infectious enthusiasm for the topics that I impart to my students. I don't just sit there and lecture, but I show students how to take effective notes and digest material by sifting through things that are just "textbook fluff."

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have tutored children with ADHD in the past and am very patient and capable of getting them to focus on the task at hand with creative teaching skills that encourage them to want to engage in the process of learning the subject matter be presented to them. I know the signs that they have had enough and are shutting down for the day and not to push any further because they will simply not retain anything else.

Creative teaching for a life time love of learning. I gather everything at my disposal to work with my students and teach to their particular style of learning. I have used basketball to teach social studies. Vegetables to teach science. Peanuts cereal and even M & M's to teach math. A lecture is not always the best method of teaching, but that is what they get in the classroom. A tutor has more flexibility.
3 years experience as an educator in the Copperas Cove Independent School District. 2 years experience working independently as a tutor in all core courses with grades pre-K through 6th grade. I have taught all ranges of students, including special education students with ADHD and both high functioning autism and retardation. In the public school setting the special education classes were all taught together as one. However I have tutored them on a one on one basis more eff ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I teach to the child and motivate them to do better through their natural desires to achieve and to seek approval. I believe in postive reinforcement that is linked to realistic and attainable goals. Building relationship with children and their families is the best tool I know for helping children learn. I see children as a part of the greater systems of family and community. I believe it truly takes a village to raise children and that cooperation among the adults that impact them the most- family, including all members of the extended family, teachers, friends, religious and other community leaders - ensures a child's success. It is my goal to make a positive difference in every child's life.
With over 20 years experience as an educator I have taught, tutored, and trained students from pre-school to adults. I hold an MA in Education and Counseling, a BA in Socialpsychology and a ... read more
