Brain-based, student-centered
I'm Ebony! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's in Cognitive Studies and Education, and earned a Master's degree with distinction in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a Cognitive Specialist/neuroeducator whose sole objective is bridging the divide between the student and the content, using methods based on the individual's learning style. As I think back to when I have achieved most success as a student, it was always because of a phenomenal educator who taught the content in ways that appealed to my learning style. I was immersed in the content, and I thrived because of it. I provide the same instructional strategies and experiences for my students, who vary from children with neurological differences such as Autism, Dyslexia, and other learning differences, to gifted students, to adults who never learned how to read or perform mathematics.

Passionate Elementary Education Tutor

I love teaching and I love to see the spark in a child's eye when they finally understand a subject they have struggled with! I am a certified special education instructional support aide for an elementary school in northwest Fort Worth. During the school year, I work in Resource and Content Mastery with special education students that are in general education classes but need additional instruction in Reading, Math, and Language Arts. I also provide additional assistance through Content Mastery to students in Science and Social Studies. I am currently pursuing a second Master's degree in Education with a specialization in Special Education as well as pursuing teacher certification through Texas Teachers. Although I work with all levels of students, my specialty is working with children with Autism and behavior issues.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : 20 yrs. (my younger sister I helped throughout school, 4th grade - graduating from Nursing school. Both my sons age 7&8)

I've either taught or tutored in some form or fashion for over 17yrs now. I've had ages 3yrs to 22yrs old covering all manner of subjects and hobbies. One of my most rewarding experience was with an 18 year old special needs 10th grader ready to drop out of school. We met 2-3x a week for 6mths. In that time he raised his GPA from 1.2 to 2.7. He completed his 10th grade year and went on to take and pass the G.E.D. the following year.
I would describe my teaching style as dynamic, creative student-centered

Struggles with math or reading

My teaching style can fluctuate depending on the child and what needs to be accomplished. My goal is to build confidence in the student through small but very important accomplishments. I use a combination of technology and good ole pencil and paper to teach anything from math to reading.
Teaching children is something that brings me joy. Watching them make strides and connections in their learning makes me smile. I currently teach preschool to children with many different cognitive, behavioral, medical, sensory, and emotional needs. In the evenings and occasionally I get calls from my niece to help her via face time with her algebra. We have been doing this tutoring for 2 yrs.

My teaching style is student-centered, meeting the student where they are in the material. The best learning occurs when there is mutual respect, honesty, and relationship building.
Before becoming a certified science teacher I worked as a technical expert for an anatomic pathology company. I was requested to provide continuing education courses for laboratory professionals across the country. As a teacher my enthusiasm for science is contagious. I provide individualized lessons to ensure that the material is understood.

Learning is fun.

Nursing school taught me nursing math. Nursing math is converting quantities from one form of a unit to another unit, for example milliliters to liters. I had a fear of math but with enough practice we can all learn math. I have taken various college classes and now have 200 hours of college. From Psychology to History to Philosophy I have probably taken the class. I am a life long student. I have an Associates at T arrant County College with classes from TCU and UTA.
I am patient and laid back. Not going to put kids/students on the spot. People cannot learn with out acceptance. I disapprove of a critical teacher. I have had my share. Learning is important to self esteem.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have lived through raising an adult daughter who has ADD. I have lectured, to teachers and mentored parents to help their ADHD children to "level the playing field" by learning how to learn using their specific strengths and strategies to stay focused. Working closely with each child's teacher and school is the most important conduit to individual success in learning and life.

I have a hands on personal approach to learning. I believe many children get"lost"in the system and need individual skills and strategies to catch up and feel good about themselves as legitimate learners and doers."I can't" means "I won't" - attitude rather than ability and a fear of failure. Once a relationship of hope and increasing ability becomes apparent, most kids begin to care and thrive again. I use Montessori philosophy as well as some manipulatives with auditory and visual strategies to support concrete learning. I believe it is important to form a team around the child, including parents, teachers, and specialists where needed. I include the family in the tutoring goals, as learning must be fun and constant in the moment, not just one or two hours a week.
I have 40 years of teaching experience in the Montessori Method of education. During this time I have taught children ... read more

Best tutor imporved grades in three weeks or less

I have years of experience I have been tutoring since I was in high school. I learned some very valuable learning skills that I can pass on to the younger kids or older kids I work good with both and because I am a lil younger then most tutors I seem to get a more positive feedback from the child then I would if I was ten years older. I cam help the child relate to what ever he or she needs to learn. If your are wanting your child on the honor roll and you know they are smart enough to get there they just need that extra little push to get there and I will be happy to offer my services thanks you very much for taking the time out to read this. You will be very happy with the results in three weeks or less.

Over the past 20+ years, I have worked with students from Pre-K through the college level. The commonality that I have found is that reading is the one thing that students need to be able to do and do well in order to be successful. Since reading is fundamental life skill, I chose to become a certified reading therapist using the Phono-Graphix Method of instruction through Read America. I have worked as a professional tutor and private instructor for the past five years and love what I do! Although my speciality is reading instruction, I also tutor elementary mathematics, social studies, science, and all levels of language arts.
My teaching style is best described as eclectic. While I am organized and focused, I vary my instructional methods to incorporate diverse activities and materials to engage and interest students. By understanding human behavior and acknowledging the many ... read more
