ADD/ADHD
I had some experience teaching students with ADD and ADHD in elementary school and middle school. I have a teaching certificate for Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I can be of some help with tutoring the different subjects that these students take.
American history
autism
I worked for seven years as a Speech Therapist in the public school setting helping students with autism learn their Speech-Language skills. Any further information about student matching with me and my qualifications maybe can be negotiated in my email system contacts with parents who are needing services. I can mention briefly that I have worked with students who have autism and are verbal communicators without need for augmentative communication systems and some who were not verbally talkative but in need of augmentative communication systems. I would hope that anyone needing my tutoring services would have worked with a Speech-Language Therapist and be needing my services as tutoring to help their child or student to further do better on current goals and objectives that are already recommended by their current Speech-Language Therapist or Special Education Teacher.

My daughters really enjoyed their first lesson with Tammy. It was all they talked about after she left and today (the day after) I arrived home from work to find them working on their homework assignments. Tammy listened very carefully to the girls attempts at reading and did a great job motivating them to work just a little bit harder on the tougher words and it was just that motivation that I was looking for in a teacher. We are looking forward to the next lesson!
