ADD/ADHD Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Southport, NC

Many of the special education teachers requested that their students be placed in my homeroom because of my success in dealing with "challenging" kids. My oldest son has ADHD and he is an honor roll student. As mentioned in my earlier description, I have eighteen years experience as an educator. I have taught students of all ages from early childhood through college and non-traditional adult education. I believe in making learning fun and engaging by relating concepts to points of interest for the individual student. Tutoring differs from teaching in that "style" is replaced by method. Some of the methods I have used in the past are rhythm and music, neumonic devices, and of course, drill and practice. I have been told that I am gifted with presenting material in novel ways.

I would describe my teaching style as productive. I am a creative teacher that holds my students to the highest expectations. I am a firm believer that all students can learn but they need to be taught on their level. I produce a positive learning environment for my students. I have worked with children for the past sixteen years. I have earned a BS in Psychology and a MA in education. Due to the struggling economy I was recently laid off from a Curriculum Support job. I am currently seeking employment in an educational environment.

I have more than 15 years experience in the public schools at both the elementary and high school levels. My experience entails working with students who have a variety of needs including learning differences, emotional needs, mental health issues and behavioral needs. I enjoy being with children, watching them progress and develop as they learn. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the joy of a child who masters a new task. Adolescents are my favorite people in the world. I connect easily with them. I honor every youth's abilities and strengths and help them work on their deficits with patience and respect. I believe firmly that each child can be engaged.

As a graduate from a credited state institution such as Thomas Edison State Collge of NJ, I was driven to achieve all of my goals within the English language. I earned a bachelor degree in English from Thomas Edison State College of NJ, where I took several upper level and honor courses. My skills improved even more due to my interest and love for writing term papers, reports, and research documents. I have also written countless essays and papers on a variety of topics. I love working with children of all ages. I am very easy-going, down to earth, and personable. I connect very easily with children and know how to get through to them, which allows them to learn on an easier level. The children who I would be tutoring would be my number one priority. Their learning and comprehension skills are my first responsible, and I will make sure that the material is learned to the best of their ab

I am very patient. Before every lesson I review past lessons to ensure we are not building a castle on sand. I pass on to the student the ability to convey his acquired knowledge under test conditions. I try to make a difference in each student’s life. I hope to leave the student satisfied and happy at the end of each lesson and eager for the next lesson. A successful lesson takes away the student’s fear of his or her classroom. I take great satisfaction from successful tutoring. I earned my BA in Political Science and graduated from one of the best state schools in the United States, then went to law school and graduated near the top of my class. Both degrees involved large and complex amounts of reading and writing as well as excellent study habits. For the past five years as part of my job I taught reading and writing to individuals with developmental disabilities. I am the e

As a graduate from western Carolina University, I earned my BS in Criminal Justice in three years and am close to gaining my MS in Human Services. I have been working in the human service field as a case manager/community support worker. Although it is not thought of as a teaching job, I have had the pleasure of teaching children and adults basic skills, academic skills and assisting with homework. The homework assistance ranged from 3rd grade to highschool. I was able to assist one of my students with improving his reading score in a semester. I would like to think that my education and experience with research, reports and studies could verify my qualifications. I love everything about working with children. I believe that everyone can learn if taught in the manner in which they can understand. I believe a teacher/tutor should try to adapt and change their methods to assist and engage

I love to teach and believe strongly in the empowerment of education. I get along well with children and I strive to make learning fun. I feel as though my favorite way to teach, as well as my most recent experiences, is one on one with the learner, or in a small group setting. I have been a school teacher for the past eight years. In the past five years I have taught English as a second language to small groups both in the U.S. and abroad. I have taught private Spanish lessons to adults here in North Carolina and I have taught a basic English class and a GED course at Cape Fear Community College and Brunswick Community College in the last few summers. I began my career as a special education teacher, this taught me a great deal of patience and determination.

As a results-oriented teacher, I am committed to helping students succeed in all academic areas. I am personable and patient, and enjoy working with both students and parents in order to teach to the strengths and interests of each student. I especially enjoy teaching reading comprehension, writing, and English grammar. As an after-school tutor, I help students prepare for standardized testing by teaching test taking strategies. Additionally, I plan and teach lessons on-line that are viewed by children in other countries learning English. One of my special talents is working one-on-one with students who have learning differences. My job is to encourage students by providing a positive role model and love of learning. Students are asked to use higher order thinking skills; getting them to dig deeper and ask questions engages their minds and I see them become more excited about learning

I not only believe that all students can learn, but that all students learn in various methods. My preferred teaching method is a combination of Constructivism (hands-on, inquiry-based learning) and Behaviorism (rewards and consequences); however, I strive to internally motivate my students, and I find that making work relevant and meaningful has the greatest effect on learning. All interactions with students should be positive (even consequences, not to be confused with "happy" or "non-confrontational"), understandable, and challenging for the student. My ultimate goal is to make students self-advocates in their learning, lives, and goals. Having wanted to teach since I was a child, I pursued my degree at UNC Wilmington and graduated magna cum laude in May 2010. I now teach at Duplin Early College High School and am finishing my first year of teaching. I cemented my desire to teach

I thoroughly enjoy and delight in interacting with students as a tutor, providing individual attention for students who desire to excel in their studies. I want every individual I work with to benefit from what I can share with them. I am well aware that every student has a different learning ability, and each individual will retain information to a different degree. Throughout my years as a tutor, I have worked to create and apply the learning style that works best for each student so that we, as a team, can work together to achieve their potential. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in biology with a pre-medicine and chemistry concentration. I am currently a personal tutor with elementary through college students, including ADD/ADHD and learning disabled students, providing one-on-one individualized instruction for over 10 years.
