ADD/ADHD

In my experience being an alternative high school English Teacher, I acquired 6 years of hands-on experience with special needs students, including those with ADD/ADHD. In my experience these students benefit not only from a multisensory approach to learning, but also a special amount of patience. In my tutoring, I would work to provide opportunities for movement, positive reinforcement, routine in order to achieve results. Moreover, I am prepared to reinforce IEP and 504 strategies in my tutoring.

Christy was very friendly and approachable. She would accommodate our last minute changes in schedule. The boys liked her and her style of teaching. I wish her best of luck in her future endeavors.


Dajourna L. from Hartford, CT

She is very smart and helpful. She has a lot of patience and makes sure you understand everything you need to know. She does a good job at meeting at a place that's most convenient for you. She's a great lady and I'll recommend her to everyone!


Peter C. from Waterford, CT

The tutoring sessions with Christy were extremely helpful. She was always on time, patient, and responsive to inquiries. She clearly had a great understanding of the testing material and was able to teach the material in an informative and helpful manner. Not only does she do a great job of teaching the material, but also structuring the sessions to best fit your needs. In all, Christy did a great job helping me increase my GRE scores, and I highly recommend her services.


Hazel W. from Waterford, CT

Christy is a tutor who initially takes the time to get to know exactly what your needs are before just diving into the tutoring session. Then, once we got started, she took the time to review my material to see where I was headed with my paper and helped me tweak the necessary without throwing out my ideas. She's quite intelligent, very educated, professional, and has a great personality. I would strongly recommended her for anyone who needs help with writing college entrance papers, or with any English subject coursework.


Giovanni A. from Norwich, CT

During my time being tutored by Christy P. she kept up high spirits and a very determined, positive attitude towards the goals we had set for me to pass my ASVAB. She was very patient with me and the work that needed to be done, and she was flexible with the time we needed to study and the lessons we worked on. Amazing tutor! She made solving equations easier by relating things to everyday life, making it loads more fun and interesting!


Inna K. from New London, CT

I recently decided that I wanted to go back to school to allow me to broaden my future job opportunities. I am originally from Russia and have been in the United States for about fourteen years. While able to carry on an English conversation, when it comes to reading and writing, my skills are somewhat limited. I knew I needed to look for help. After doing some internet searches, I came across WyzAnt. I spent some time reviewing the profiles of the English tutors in my area and decided to email three of them to see if any might be an appropriate fit. After careful consideration, I decided on Christy and couldn’t be more pleased. Christy’s prompt and professional response, especially the fact that she took the time to carefully read the finer points in my rather long email, sealed the deal for me. During our initial consultation, Christy took extensive notes and listened intently to me as I explained exactly what I was looking to accomplish. When I finished, we together worked on a plan of attack. Improving my reading comprehension and speed, along with developing the proper mechanics in my writing were put on top of the list. Also, knowing that I will likely be required to take some form of admissions exam or standardized test in the near future, we have been working on my vocabulary, including roots, prefixes and suffixes. Christy and I have been meeting once a week for ninety minutes since May. She provides me with homework each week, which we go over at the start of our next session before moving on to new material. That review at the beginning of our lesson has also helped to improve my conversational English. Christy is always well prepared and punctual for our lessons. Any necessary communications between lessons have been easily accomplished through email, cell phone and text. Christy is not only knowledgeable and professional in what she does she is also a very compassionate person who is supportive and wants to see me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Christy.


Michael C. from Niantic, CT

Christy arranged a meeting with one of our daughter's teachers to try to get deeper into the nature of her problem with testing.


Emily S. from Madison, CT

Christy is flexible. She listened to our comments. She then adjusted her approach to tutoring. I believe we are starting to understand why my daughter is struggling to improve her score. My daughter has had 2 sessions with Christy and a third scheduled.


Sophia J. from Narragansett, RI

Christy is a wonderful and patient tutor who makes the idea of testing a lot less scary. In my just two sessions with her I already feel like I've learned so much more than I knew previous to tutoring! I would highly recommend Christy to anyone that needs tutoring in Alg I & II and Geometry! Her tutoring is sure to help me pass the PRAXIS test!


Cassandra M. from Amston, CT

Christy was great! She found my weak areas and helped me better understand where I need to focus. Highly recommended!
