Bryce
All Age Tutor - 20 Years Experience - Special Education Background
As a former special-education teacher, I have a wealth of experience teaching students with ADD/ADHD diagnoses. As a tutor, I emphasize several techniques to help students improve. These techniques include- establishing routines, simplifying schedules, using clocks and timers to methodically build attention "muscles", and avoiding environmental distraction. Particularly when working with children, I find patience, praise, and positive reinforcement to be highly effective tools. I also can work with parents to request accommodations from schools, based on their child's ADD/ADHD identification. Read more

James
Learning Coach
During my career as a high school math teacher I have had the opportunity to work with many students with Asperger's Syndrome. Being able to read subtle emotional responses, finding innovative ways to deliver curriculum and allowing students to find their own way to demonstrate their understanding are a few of the soft skills I have developed over years. Students with Asperger's also appreciate my gentle sense of humor! Read more
Stephanie
*Professional Tutor *Elementary-Middle-HIgh School-College*
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ ADHD) is a biological, brain based condition that is characterized by poor attention and distractibility and/or hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. It is one of the most common disorders that develop in children. My middle child was diagnosed with these disorders and we have worked closely with his physician and teachers to help him achieve the best grades that he can achieve. Many of my students that I work with daily have ADD or ADHD and there is nothing that they cannot achieve! Read more

Althea
Well-Rounded Literature/Grammar and ESOL Tutor
Hello, my name is Althea. I am a college graduate who enjoys teaching and tutoring English grammar and literature. I had learned Italian in order to communicate with my students more efficiently, who were unable to speak English fluently. Creativity is the way that I prefer to pass along new or old knowledge that students need. Even though learning English grammar can be quite a task, an open mind about your learning style can produce excellent results. I have taught multiple subjects in ... Read more
