Aspergers
When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADHD, other disorders and finally Aspergers when I was 8. While I no longer believe that these diagnoses completely fit me I have gone through a range of training to overcome my disability. I was in sensory integration, Special Ed classes, social training, and a range of other treatments. When I was in first grade, I listened to my counselor tell my mom that, "there was no reason to expect that one day he would not be able to read." Needless to say, I exceeded all expectations. I take this experience into my tutoring, realizing that all students are so much more than their labels. Each person is an individual with the ability to learn. My job and my joy is to help find the best possible way for each person to learn. I assisted students with disabilities throughout my own training as a child. Professionally, I have spent over 3 years working on alternate media for students with disabilities at California Polytechnic University in Pomona. I am becoming a special education teacher. I have tutored many students with special needs. Every person has the ability to succeed and the right to the accommodations to do so.

Jeffrey is a great tutor. Arrived at our home, got down to business, and had my son interacting with him right from the start. I heard some laughing, and by the end of the session my son was all smiles. We have a new game plan and feel Jeffrey's guidance is money well spent.

Jeffrey tutored me last week in economics and he was punctual, dressed professionally and accommodated his schedule to be able to tutor me at a time convenient for me. He patiently answered my questions and approaching the concepts from a different angle in order to help me better understand the topics.

Jeff was very helpful. I needed help right away and he was able to accommodate me. He was on time as well. I would use Jeff again.

Jeffrey was very patient with my special needs son. He found ways to make the tutoring session fun and suggested on-line games and apps for us to use.
