ADD/ADHD
As an elementary teacher I taught many ADD/ADHD (medically diagnosed) students, and also subbed at a school specifically for learning disabled kids--qualified to teach the Special Needs class, as certified by the Los Angeles School District. I am well-aware of the definitions and needs, and have successfully worked with over 20 students with such needs.

While in Los Angeles I acted in numerous musicals, dramas, and comedies on-stage, was on a popular soap opera for 2 years, and continued with acting in Grad School for 2 years, having starred in several productions with a large drama troupe. I also have done commercial training and voiced several commercials for 2 radio stations in Seattle.

Debra was outstanding in helping my daughter prepare for her end-of-the-year Spanish finals. She successfully clarified areas of confusion and intuitively worked on areas that would most likely be challenging. As a result, my daughter did great on her finals. Debra worked extremely well with my daughter, and I highly recommend her as a tutor. She is kind, professional, flexible, and highly capable. We can't thank Debra enough.
