I am an experienced, seasoned teacher, and have taught and worked with students who were diagnosed with ADD/ADHD from the Kindergarten level up to the 5th grade level during my many years as an Elementary School Teacher. Some of the students I had to make recommendations for them to be tested by the school staff, identifying that these selected students were having difficulty in the classroom setting focusing, or exhibiting unusual behavior problems. The students were taught by me, in my self-contained classroom, for all their subjects. These students were on an individual reward system set up to help them to control their behavior and helped them to show progress on their assigned tasks at school. I worked very closely with the school guidance teacher, and the students' parents with communication on a daily basis to have a reward system at school, and with the parents at home,to accent on the positive behavior, show their strengths, and weaknesses and to show improvement with the students' assigned tasks. The students were very bright, but had a hard time focusing, and had a short attention span, and not a disinterest in learning. I have been successful at strategies to help students at school academically, socially, and behaviorally. I have always enhanced my lessons to adapt and modify the curriculum as needed and to be customized for each student's individual needs to optimize his or her learning. I helped each student with organizational skills, study skills, and behavior modifications, and worked with students' strengths to help them learn best, and be highly motivated to succeed. Usually a student with ADD/ADHD will learn more, and learn quicker, in a one-on-one setting. With my tutoring, I hope to help your child develop the skills he or she needs to become a self directed learner, which will last a lifetime of benefits.

This is the first tutoring experience for my grandson and it was very pleasant and helpful. He is looking foward to another lesson. There were some discrepancies on the schedule but Sandy was very accomodating and we were able to work it out. I am very glad we have this opportunity and hope we can get good results soon.

We had our first tutoring session for my 2nd grade son and Sandra was very patient and worked well with him. Right away noticed his weakness in the comprehension. My son is excited to continue to work with her, when we told him he was going to start tutoring he literally had a tantrum but after the session he was happy and is excited to learn more.

Mrs Sandy is an excellent tutor, very dedicated to the kids. My daughter loves her. I was having a lot of issues with my daughter doing her homework, it was taking me more than 3 hours and at the end most of the time I had to put her on time out. She hated to read now I can take her to read with no complaints, she does her homework in 1 hour or 1 hour and a half tops. No time out. She has a slight ADHD, but since she is going with Sandy everything is easier for her and my self. Also Sandy's hours and place are very comfortable, she always tries to work around your schedule and make up for the time that you missed. Her rates are reasonable for everything that she accomplished with the kids. I really recommend her for any kids of any age. I'll have her until the end of this school year and I'm planning to hire her for the next school year too. Thanks.

Malicka N. from Pompano Beach, FL
Sandra is a great tutor. my daughter was very nervous to start tutoring. Sandra made the meet and great very comfortable. She spoke to my daughter and told her how she's going to help her with her math. My daughter was given a test to find her week points. My daughter is very confident that's she is going to do much better in math. She's very excited. Mrs Sandra also made her a drawing book. I love that Mrs. Sandra used math tools to help her along the way. My daughter also has websites she can use to help her with math until we meet again. I would recommend any parent to choose Mrs. Sandy as a tutor.

Sandra was great and very patient with my son who normally gets frustrated with things he doesn't understand (he has Asperger's). She took her time with him and showed him ways he could calm himself down. He went home feeling confident and looking forward to his next meeting with her. Thanks Sandra!
