ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Saint Johns, PA

My lessons are creative and are formed in alignment with the PA standards to provide my students with significant progress in the classroom. I believe it's important to understand the different learning styles and strengths that students bring to the classroom. As my teaching career continues, I am becoming more flexible in my teaching strategies for example, when it comes down to having two or three subjects to teach in one period, I still manage to make it a great learning environment for all. It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your program. I am a recent 2006 graduate from College Misericordia where I student taught third, fourth and fifth grade learning support and regular education in a first grade classroom.

Since each child learns differently and has a unique way of understanding information, I have used many modalities in the course of my teaching. Most recently, teaching young children with specified learning disabilities has taught me to try a variety of activities to facilitate learning. I have learned to be more patient, to take a greater amount of time in explaination and teaching, and to use more hands-on materials to aid in understanding of what is being taught. As a Graduate in the field of Education, I have worked with a variety of students from daycare up to grade 8. I have also had the opportunity to teach children with specified learning disabilities, most common being Autism and ADHD. I have taught in a self-contained 1st grade classroom for 7 years then moved up to teaching 6th and 7th grade students in Reading, Math, and Language Arts who experienced difficulty learning wi

I have a passion for working individually with students to find their personal learning styles so that they can succeed and excel academically. I encourage students to think through a problem and find a solution that works for their individual abilities and plays to their strengths. I believe learning should be fun and not a forced activity.

As a teacher there is nothing more rewarding than the look on a child's face when a skill is mastered or a mystery becomes an understood concept. This is what attracted me to the field of education and what has kept me here. I am also fully aware that each student does not reach this level of mastery by following the same path. I believe one of my greatest strengths as a teacher is to be able to change this path for each student. I am aware of the different ways children learn, and seek to incorporate examples of these learning styles into each lesson. I also know it is important to keep the learning at a level that ensures success to foster confidence while providing enough of a challenge to keep the student's interest. I have 14 years experience in elementary education, specifically teaching 2nd and 4th grades and kindergarten. I have 15 years experience in higher education administrat

I believe that children learn best through continual interaction, repetition and positive re-enforcement. I enjoy teaching across all subject matter and believe that practice and hard work produces the best results. Every child is a unique individual with a history of different influences that developed their specific learning abilities. I believe an effective teacher will strive to discover those keys to unlock each students potential to exceed. All students can excel when provided with the correct learning tools and positive interactive secessions. I strive to always project a can-do attitude in order to bring out the best qualities and knowledge in each of my students. Although I have just received my teaching certification in Elementary and Special Education, I have had experience in teaching a variety of elementary age students, including some with disabilities.

I love working with people, especially children. I have been a Crew Trainer at each job I've had because of my ability to relate, connect and teach others. I am very patient and easy-going. One thing I like to identify is my learner's personality so that way I may cater my teaching style to that of his/her needs. Connecting with the individual and making them feel as thought they can do, and keeping this attitude, is key to helping the student grow. Having a positive academic effect on the students' lives is what I strive to achieve. At the start of my college career, I began tutoring for Calculus. I received an offer from a Professor at Lafayette who had heard about me. She and her husband had two children who were accellerated two years above their classmates. I tutored both children once or twice a week in both of their respective mathematics courses as well.
