ADD/ADHD

I make the connection with the child, To make learning worthwhile. Meher A. - Author, Inventor and Sr. Math Instructor Working with kids facing ADD/ADHD requires Patience, Skill and the desire to reach out to them by giving them the attention they deserve. I have demonstrated that by helping kids facing OCD/ADD/ADHD for over 10-years. In dealing with kids my experience has taught me that: "If you don't give attention, the child will get your attention." I have applied this philosophy specifically in dealing with kids facing attention related challenges and have made a remarkable difference in the lives of numerous kids. It is because I choose to see the child first before the behavior; and have learned to differentiate the child from the behavior. This has helped me to build a strong and trustworthy relationship with kids. Furthermore, the 7- key ingredients in my SPECIAL teaching approach embody the following: 1. Focusing on Shaping the WILL Without shaking the SPIRIT 2. Identifying, recognizing and understanding the dominant learning style of the child. These learning styles include Tactile, Visual (Spatial), Aural (Auditory/Musical), Verbal (Linguistic), Physical (Kinesthetic), Logical (Mathematical), Social (Interpersonal); and Solitary (Intrapersonal). This helps to improve the speed and quality of one’s learning. 3. Providing directions that are precise and clear and splitting them into smaller steps. 4. Minimizing surrounding noise and/or environmental clutter. 5. Handling any changes gradually. 6. Giving them a continuous dose of affirmative feedback as they show progress to further inspire them to excel. 7. Incorporating a hands-on interactive and collaborative study session. I have used all of the above strategies while working diligently with kids facing OCD/ADD/ADHD challenges from Grades 2-11 for the "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND PROGRAM" in Placentia, Yorba Linda, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and Newport - Costa Mesa School Districts. I have also worked very closely with OCD/ADD/ADHD as well as Autistic kids for the Orange County Children’s Therapeutic ARTS Center. I have also worked with Elementary, Middle School and High School Students being home-schooled to make learning a vibrant, engaging, educational, and joyful experience. Nearly all of my students have achieved a better understanding of Math concepts with a strategic increase in grades. It is because I am committed, accessible and caring. My goal is to ensure that each student reaches their full potential to secure a successful future. My prime focus is on "teaching the student" not just the coursework, which makes an immense impact on affirmative learning by building competence and soaring confidence, with motivation, focus, and problem solving skills. And, my individualized attention ensures that the child remains engaged which fosters an attentive and effective learning atmosphere of curiosity and creativity. My Hands-on interactive and collaborative style of teaching empowers a child with special needs to be his or her VERY best. I encourage you to discover how a better understanding of Math can change your child's attitude towards learning under my expert guidance.

I am a school Athletic Director who was required to retake the CBEST, which caused some anxiety. I am a returning adult student of about 30 years and math has never been one of my strongest subjects. Meher was kind enough to understand my dilemma patiently and tried to show everything I needed to know for the CBEST Math test in a concise, comprehensive, and effective format. I really appreciated his proven techniques for overcoming test anxiety. It is because he focuses on teaching the test, not just the material. He believed in me more than I believed in me, which made a world of difference in my progress. He told me that “the most important factor in your success on the CBEST is you, and with proper affirmative planning you can approach this test efficiently and strategically.” After a proper initial assessment of my strengths and shortcomings, Meher created a one-on-one program designed to meet my exact needs. Problems that I did not how to start, I am now able to solve them with confidence and accuracy. There is nothing like having a lot of proper practice under your belt to make you feel confident when you go in to take the real exam. And Meher sincerely helped me to develop those basic skills needed to achieve success on this important exam. Meher also offers a fully updated, comprehensive review of all aspects tested on the official CBEST Math section. His valuable resource provides you with all the vital test preparation you need to achieve results and his prime focus is on how to apply knowledge with proper understanding. Furthermore, his guidance was streamlined and concept driven so I can get better results through more effective study time. He took the time to provide me with an overview of the CBEST along with a proper Diagnostic Test, as well as numerous Full-Length Practice Tests. He also offered creative test-taking strategies, explanations, and sample tests I needed to sail through the CBEST. I now firmly believe that if I carefully follow all the steps Meher taught me, I’ll be better prepared for the CBEST and go into the exam knowing how to conquer it. Meher has secured my highest recommendation for those seeking a convenient, powerful, and effective CBEST Math Tutor with the keys to understand how to succeed on the CBEST.

I have had the privilege to having Meher help me prepare confidently for the GRE Math Test. He is not just an excellent GRE Math Tutor but also a fabulous life motivator who is punctual, professional, and intellectual. He truly inspires you to look for the best in yourself. You can rely on him to provide the information, know-how, and guidance to help you reach your goals. His wide range of mathematical knowledge is filled with deep understanding and wisdom. Meher provides personalized resources with expert guidance because he believes that in order to succeed one needs accurate, dependable, and practical tools to match the learning style of the student. Being a returning ADULT student, I truly appreciated the fact that he first took the time to get to know me and properly assess my specific needs to tailor his teaching plan accordingly. He started by giving me an overview of the GRE General Test, answering key questions commonly asked by undergraduates, and explained everything I needed to know about the computer-based GRE. Then he took me step by step through dozens of mathematical questions that simulate actual GRE questions, and showed how to solve them and how to avoid going wrong. Meher also showed me creative testing tactics by thinking outside the box – a strategy I believe helps one to confidently attack the different types of questions on the GRE. He answered pertinent questions that correspond to actual GRE questions in content, format, and level of difficulty. He also provides a resource list of the most important math facts and formulas you need to know; this is particularly valuable for students primarily involved in non-scientific disciplines. No matter where you are on your academic and professional path, you can rely on Meher for the most up-to-date education exploration data, expert test prep tools, and top notch career success resources – everything you need to achieve your goals. It is because his insightful coaching with enlightened inspiration provides you with the test prep you need for the score you want. Let Meher help you open the door to your graduate education.

Mr. A.'s helpful suggestions helped my son to understand the key principles involved with interpreting and solving logarithms. Our tutor was prepared with two white boards, markers and few simple props to explain what logarithms are and why they are used in math. Observing Meher's interaction with my son, I soon realized that he had a background in teaching. He was able to assess quickly my son's learning needs. His effective hands on learning strategies reinforce my son's learning needs. He presents the material in a variety of different ways with many examples. He knew the types of problems which would be presented on the exam, because Meher is also a math instructor. As a parent and teacher myself, I find it comforting to find a person who loves what they do ,and helps others to gain confidence in their ability to be a successful student. Mr. A. is a life saver. He came in at the last second ,and helped our son get caught up, who was behind in his studies. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He also rearranged his schedule to accommodate our son's needs which helped tremendously. Thank you Mr. A.!


Armita F. from Irvine, CA

I have had this distinctive privilege of having Meher tutor my 9-year old son for Elementary Math who scored 100% in his tests after Meher’s superb guidance. What is amazing about his teaching style is that: Meher believes that you are much more than a score. His tutoring sessions are tailored to meet the specific needs and learning style of my son. My son is so inspired that he beams up with excitement for his study sessions with him. It is because Meher provided valuable and meaningful information that helped my son unlock his full potential and taught him how to navigate the Math territory with an extra edge; and use this strategy effectively to his advantage. Meher believes that tutoring should not be a "one-size-fits-all" solution, a belief that my son was able to appreciate and respect. Furthermore, Meher bent over backwards to give that little “EXTRA” to my son, which made a “BIG” difference in his receptivity towards learning. His interactive and collaborative teaching philosophy encompasses an adaptive learning platform that identifies your strengths and shortcomings to create a personalized study plan based on your unique needs and timelines. Meher provided the pertinent tools my son needed to get good scores, including effective targeted practice, test taking strategies, full length practice tests and recommending additional valuable resources to complement his school work. He also sincerely ensured that my son focused his time and energy in learning those skills with the maximum "skill boosting" potential. On top of that Meher is able to keep my son focused for the entire 2-hour study session which I find to be absolutely remarkable because no other teacher has been able to do that for him to-date. Meher is a strategy-based expert engaging Elementary Math Tutor, whose knowledge, expertise and wisdom; I like to unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend to others.


Nancy K. from Long Beach, CA

We contacted Meher for some one-on-one tutoring for ACT test prep only two weeks before the test. He fit my son into his busy schedule and has been working with him diligently to prep him for the test. He has motivated my son and keeps him interested in study sessions that last 2 hours daily. My son is excited for the sessions and hasn't complained once. Meher has an excellent grasp of mathematics and can teach the reasons behind the problems, not just plug and chug. I would recommend Meher and I have the utmost confidence that my son will do well on the test with the tutoring he's gotten from Meher. His sessions were customized to meet my son's unique needs, goals and learning style. In short, the ACT test may be standardized, but Meher's teaching style was truly personalized, which I really appreciated. I am very grateful to Meher for making time for daily tutoring sessions, even though he is very busy and for customizing a tutoring program to my son's unique needs. Meher is very easy to work with and understands young people and how to motivate them and keep them interested.


Nancy A. from Garden Grove, CA

Understanding and learning Geometry was a trying experience for my daughter with her teachers as well as other tutors. But, after Meher starting tutoring my daughter in Geometry, for the first time she said "Mom, I get it now." I have never heard my daughter say that about ANY math class. Furthermore, due to her failing grades, I was not sure if my daughter would pass her semester finals. With Meher's positive, supportive and unique style of teaching, she passed her final with a good grade and comfortable level of understanding. This is a testimony to Meher's exceptional teaching abilities that I would like to fully endorse and whole-heartedly recommend to others. Mehers's professionalism with a flexible and affirmative attitude has made a world of difference in my daughter's ability to learn with enthusiasm and understanding. I am grateful to have such an extraordinary tutor for my daughter.


Caroline F. from Anaheim, CA

I had the wonderful luck of contacting Meher today when my daughter's previous tutor missed a lesson with her and was unreachable. Meher talked with me patiently today and listened to my dilemma, and I was lucky enough to reach him when he had an opening. Not many people would help on a same day notice, but he did, and for that I am truly grateful. Meher was wonderful in that first moment of meeting him. He was so kind and patient with my daughter and I. Meher did an outstanding job with my daughter and showed her so much; he made things much easier for her to grasp. What an outstanding individual, a total professional. If you want a truly exceptional person to help you in tutoring, you do not need to look any further than Meher. Believe me, you would be blessed to have his knowledge, kindness,positive attitude, and support. Thank you Meher, and my daughter looks forward to her next tutoring session.


John B. from Long Beach, CA

Meher's approach in teaching embraces Life Lessons / Mathematics / Character building, which is instrumental in truly achieving Student learning and life long comprehension. For a first lesson, I found the root of the teaching to encourage my son to accept that it is really "simple" and the key is to unlock the mind to be free to learn.


Cindy T. from Newport Beach, CA

Meher has been tutoring my son in Algebra 1 for the past 2 months. I would highly recommend Meher’s services as a tutor. Math has always been a difficult subject for my son, both in mastering basic concepts and in working diligently until the completion of tasks. Meher’s methods of teaching for mastery have been of tremendous benefit for my son. He takes great pride in making sure his students truly understand the underlying principles. To his credit he reaches for a depth of understanding, trying many different “angles” to find which best reaches a particular learner. Furthermore, Meher treats his students with great respect, kindness, high expectations, and belief in their abilities to succeed. He is motivational and inspirational as well as technically meticulous. My son, for the first time, focuses and stays engaged in his math work for the entire study period. Meher is also punctual and flexible with scheduling. A few times we needed to adjust our meeting time to fit in a session prior to an exam, and Meher worked with us to meet this need. I would highly and without reservation recommend Meher as a tutor.


Cheryl W. from Mission Viejo, CA

Our experience with Mr. Meher has very been positive. He has an expert knowledge of mathematics and provides excellent instruction to ensure that the student understands the material. He has been very beneficial in test preparation and completion of homework assignments. He is very positive and takes the time to get to know his pupils. He is encouraging and genuinely wants the struggling student to succeed. We would recommend him to others.


Michelle V. from Irvine, CA

My husband and I are so excited and very hopeful that Mr. Meher will be a great asset in helping our daughter grasp geometry. We just started and look forward to having Mr. Meher be apart of our goals in helping our daughter achieve her goal: getting accepted into Concodia University. Thank you Mr. Meher for your enthusiasm, commitment and most of all your patience.


Laura T. from Norwalk, CA

I have had the good fortune of having Meher tutor my son as well as my daughter, both with very different personalities and learning styles. Amazingly enough, both my kids feel very comfortable with him and love his interactive style of teaching Math. It is because Meher has his innate ability to "read the individual need" of my children, which in turn is helping them to realize their potential and build self-confidence. Meher has showed that he truly cares about my kids by customizing his teaching style to harmonize with their individual natural and dominant learning modality. His prime focus has been on identifying, recognizing and bridging the missing skills to further strengthen their learning abilities. He is not only proficient, punctual and knowledgeable but is also able to effectively share his knowledge with patience and perseverance in a simple, clear and concise manner. His most salient skill is teaching my kids "how to think outside the box" for finding creative solutions to problems. He also shares practical applications through visualization. It is very clear to me that Meher is second nature to him. At the start of the first session, Meher took a genuine interest to discuss the individual needs of my son and daughter; and then he formulated a customized plan for them to excel. This coupled with his fun-loving, pleasant and friendly personality has inspired both my kids to become more receptive towards learning with him. Meher is surely making a difference for which I am truly grateful. With that sentiment, I strongly recommend Meher to all those who want to reap the same benefit that my kids did from his genuine guidance and his amazing math wisdom.


Ruth W. from Fullerton, CA

It is because Meher is gifted with the innate ability of seeing and bringing out the best in others. His unique focus on looking for the best and building on the best has completely changed my son's attitude towards learning. In addition, my son's attention and retention skills have remarkably improved under Meher's guidance. Meher differentiates the child from the behavior and sees the child first before the behavior. This coupled with his positive, interactive and collaborative style of teaching, has inspired my son to excel in math for which I am truly grateful for. Furthermore, Meher also spent considerable time in properly identifying, recognizing and understanding the dominant learning style of my son, which really help to improve the speed and quality of his learning. I highly recommend Meher to those who like to benefit from his unique, compassionate and holistic style of teaching math.


Cathy Y. from Fullerton, CA

Meher's philosophy of "Teaching the student and not just the coursework" has worked wonders on my daughter. His unique hands-on style of teaching honors geometry by using paper models and creating colorful 3D drawings on white board has inspired my daughter to solve problems with affirmative confidence. Meher is an extremely committed and dedicated tutor whose enthusiasm I whole-heartedly recommend to those who would like to benefit from his valuable knowledge and wisdom.


Todd P. from Long Beach, CA

Mr Meher, he is an excellent tutor also very good at motivating. I love his discipline determination in diagnosing the best way to get through to my kid. My son struggles in school and for the first time he received a call from his high school congratulating him on a recent Algebra test. Thanks so much.


Todd D. from Newport Coast, CA

Meher is a remarkable person and tutor. He took time to understand and get to know my son before they began the session. Meher is enthusiastic, passionate and very knowledgeable. My son has never been happier with a tutor!


Brandon A. from Costa Mesa, CA

Meher did an outstanding job of tutoring my son in Algebra 2. Prior to beginning the tutoring session with my son, he took the time to know him and understand him as a person which helped establish a good relationship that was key to my son's receptivity to Meher's tutoring. Additionally he was very patient with my son and used positive reinforcement in the learning. Lastly it was clear from my son's viewpoint, that Meher really has a great technical background in Math that allowed him to really help my son understand areas that were difficult and focus on those key learnings. If you want your child to really grasp a subject in which Meher tutors, he will ensure your child learns and excels in the subject matter - a very dedicated and great tutor that I would highly recommend.


Hisham A. from Los Angeles, CA

Mr A is a very diligent and punctual teacher. He goes out of his way to schedule time for me within a very short period of time. He is extremely knowledgeable in math and algebra 1and 2. His teaching style is very unique and he makes difficult concepts very easy for me to understand. I was very confused on one topic and called him a day before the exam. He was not only able to get my concepts clear but also helped me to build such confidence that I scored 120% (which includes 20% for extra credit) in the test the next day. That was an amazing achievement for me. I highly recommend Mr A. to all those who would like to build a passion for learning math.


Shawna H. from Huntington Beach, CA

Meher helped my son prepare to re-take the SAT. On the first day, he took extra time to learn about my son's needs and evaluate his learning strengths and weaknesses so he could develop a strategy that works best for him. The focus of each lesson was not just on the math, but also on how to approach problems from different perspectives, to think outside the box, and to apply these lessons to life. Meher has a very positive attitude and inspired my son to do better. His approach is on teaching the test while teaching the material. He is very good at teaching the difference between knowing the material and knowing how to use the material in the test. My son enjoyed Meher's unique style of providing knowledge and understanding, and he appreciated the way that he would apply these lessons to preparing him for life. Meher's teaching style is very hands-on and interactive. He used his SAT Math Program titled SUPER SAT to help my son prepare effectively for the SAT Math Test. Meher taught him special time savings strategies for the test, as well as quick ways to double check his work to make sure he's choosing the best answer. Immediately after taking the SAT test, my son texted me "The test went great!" I am very happy with the change in my son - his new enthusiasm, engagement and confidence. I am excited to see his test results, and I expect that he will have a significant improvement in his scores due to the strategies that Meher taught him. Meher truly helped to promote excitement, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude in my son. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Meher as a tutor who can inspire students and increase their math and problem solving skills.


Bella L. from Lake Forest, CA

Meher has been a terrific choice to work with and prepare our daughter for SAT/ACT tests. He is a well-rounded individual with a holistic approach to teaching/tutoring. He is very professional, articulate, highly experienced and communicates very effectively. We strongly believe that Meher is making a significant positive impact on our daughter and her preparedness to perform extremely well in her tests. What sets Meher apart from his peers is his ability to not just teach or convey content, but to instill confidence into the student and help develop a fearless and motivated attitude towards learning and major tests. We thank Meher for his dedication and work (which happens to be fun) with our daughter.
