ADD/ADHD
I have tutored several high school students (ages 15 all the way to early 40s) in the Dallas metroplex (Rockwall and Garland) in English and in Algebra. All of those students have received an "A" in his or her course. I have helped them be successful in their classes/courses. My strategy was to always be very brief in my explanation of the concept and focus on his or her kin esthetic ability or desire (the desire to move while learning). I accomplished this by showing an example of a problem and then having him or her simulate what I have just done. This worked very well for all of the ADD/ADHD students that I have had. I approach each student and determine what in particular causes their attention deficiency. I hone in on this and make learning fun and steer away from techniques that are "boring" to them which, as a result, may trigger their ADD/ADHD.

When I brought my son to Simone I wasn't sure how things would turn out. He was having difficulty passing the military ASVAB test. He made several attempts on his on but to no avail. After working with Simone for two hours a day for four weeks, he improved his score by 20 points and now he is on his way to the Navy. Thank you for all your hard work and patience. The work you done was amazing and I can't thank you enough.
Amanda R. from Richardson, TX
Our son has come a long way towards reaching his goal in passing the ASVAB with Simones help and guidance! After a stressful day, he took the test and missed by 1 point! We want him to retake it in a month and continue with Simone tutoring. She is kind and understands what motivates him!! She is an awesome tutor. Have told many friends about her, and recommended her too!
Dashea L. from Dallas, TX
Simone is a very patient and knowledgeable tutor. She makes lessons easy to understand and my brother is more confident in math. Five Star Service!
Karissa J. from Kaufman, TX
We absolutely love Simone! She is an excellent tutor, super nice, and very patient. My son's math skills have improved a lot in a short time. Both of us highly recommend her.
Rick S. from Rowlett, TX
Simone is very professional and caring for the best mix of what you could wish for if in need of a tutor! Simone discusses your needs, devises a plan and all sessions are in a public library that serves to allow access to additional materials if needed and is the perfect setting for openness while offering security. I would recommend Simone for any study needs. She helped me with ACT prep and I know that I am now confident and ready to raise my score and better prepared for college. Also, due to her mode of teaching the materials and her test tactics for success.
Kimberly W. from Forney, TX
A great tutor. She tutored my daughter with preparing for a test and was able to take college courses. She is highly recommended.
Tanieka D. from Forney, TX
She is calm, attentive and takes her time. She has a way of helping that is not intimidating. My son enjoys meeting with her and when he started to improve in math, he didn't want to stop his tutoring sessions. Simone is just what he needed. Thank you!
Dena D. from Rowlett, TX
Our son really enjoy his time with Simone. He says he is learning a lot from her and isn't so worried about taking the second SAT. He says that she is preparing him well for the rest!
Francisco A. from Garland, TX
Ms. Simone helped me improve my ASVAB score from and 18 to a 48 in just a month and a half. She is always on time and is really patient when teaching. What I learned with her has helped me a lot, not just in improving my ASVAB score but also in everyday use. I strongly recommend her if you want to pass the ASVAB or you want to get ready for a test in school. Thank you, Ms. Simone!
Belinda W. from Mesquite, TX
My daughter is very pleased with Ms. Simone. She says Ms. Simone is able to explain her math problems so that she understands and can apply what she is taught in class. I have hired several tutors during my daughter's school years. I must say, no one has compared to Ms. Simone. My daughter was not doing well in Algebra 11 and at the end of the 6 weeks, she had a B. Ms. Simone genuinely cares about how my daughter is doing in class. Best tutor I have encoutered! Thanks, Ms. Simone!
Adam F. from Mesquite, TX
My son was in danger of not graduating because he was failing math. We hired Simone and he graduated with an A+. Simone is a great tutor and you should not hesitate to hire her.
K F. from Edgewood, TX
Simone is dependable and devotes her undivided attention to the needs of the learner. She also offers guidance, tips, and strategies to the learner's support base. We are looking forward to lifelong learning with Simone!
Gabriela G. from Mesquite, TX
Simone was great. My daughter has dyslexia and usually gets frustrated quickly, but Simone was able to bring the subject to life for her and keep it light with humor.
Avonette M. from Dallas, TX
I give a world of thanks to Simone for what she has done with my nephew. Her skills have definitely improved his math and reading skills by far. Her easy going personality put my nephew at ease so he could really concentrate on the material. I will most likely retain her in the new school year. Again, a big Thank You!
Marlene M. from Rockwall, TX
I know it's only been twice that my son has been tutored by Simone, but he has more confidence in writing now then he has ever had before! She has given him the tools to write a good paper. After the first session, my son said, "This is way better, mom." He actually likes going to tutoring! Ms. Simone has a very friendly spirit and makes the student feel good about himself. I thank God for her!
ANNGI M. from Hutchins, TX
I found Simone's style of teaching to be a perfect fit for my learning style. She is patient and does not make you feel bad that you don't know, but uses it as an opportunity to teach. Loved her!! Can't wait for my next session.
Teisha J. from Cedar Hills, TX
Simone has helped me understand math in Ways I could have never imagined. I loved how she would explain things to me in a way only I could understand! She is very flexible with her schedule and yours, and she is willing to go all the way with you as long as you apply yourself! When I first met Simone, I had Failed the ASVAB (The U.S military entrance test). I failed with a 20. I was never a good test-taker, but my score after Simone was a 35 - so 15 points higher! I'm soo thankful I ran across such a good tutor, someone who actually cares and is not in it just for the money! Soo thank you, Simone, I could not have done it without you!!
Summer S. from Sachse, TX
My experience with WyzAnt has been awesome. Our daughter was struggling in math, and I found WyzAnt online. I signed up and had a very qualified tutor by the name of Simone. Simone illuminated math for our daughter and gave her the tools and confidence to succeed. I am very happy to say our daughter passed her TAKS test today. We couldn't have done it without the help of Simone and prayer from above. We love you girl.
Connie G. from Wylie, TX
I have been working with Simone for 2 months now on a weekly basis. She tutors me twice a week. I was worried before I hired Simone. I was afraid the experience would not be good because I knew so very little about algebra. Simone is so understanding and she doesn't mind going over things again and again if I ask her. She knows just how to explain things. She can put it in simple terms for me to understand. She has brought me so very far. I would never have thought this would be such a great experience. Simone is the best. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. I feel blessed to have her as my tutor. She really knows what she is doing and she makes me feel very comfortable in the process.
Rebecca F. from Mesquite, TX
After searching and searching for a math tutor, we are so glad we found Simone. She was very patient and responsive. I homeschool my son and he was struggling in Algebra II. He went from not understanding the concepts of the questions at all to being able to get all or just about all questions correct in a very very short time, under Simone's care. She was able to catch up my son's studies from Unit 3 to Unit 7. Simone gave my son studies for just in case if he forgets the concepts he can look at her notes. Great idea! I will definitely keep Simone's information for future tutoring.
MELISSA U. from Garland, TX
I asked my daughter what she thought about her tutor. She said she enjoyed her patient approach, and did not make her feel pressured. As long as I see my daughter looking forward to her sessions, we will continue to use Simone.
Noni B. from Mesquite, TX
Helping me to futher my Math learning. I'm doing great. She is doing a great job teaching me. She is a five star tutor. Thank you!
Cheryl L. from Mesquite, TX
Simone began working with our son in July of 2013 because he was not successful in passing the math portion of the 6th grade STAAR test. I am so very pleased with her professionalism, patience, and knowledge of the content. She has really gone above and beyond "the call of duty" printing the curriculum that my son is learning in 7th grade and making sure that she's covering the content to help him become successful. I have recently ordered a STAAR Study Guide that she suggested so that she can begin working with him for the upcoming STAAR exam. I highly recommend Simone to anyone who's in need of an awesome tutor!!
Daniel M. from Sunnyvale, TX
Simone is the answer to our prayers!! She has been most helpful in so many ways. My daughter LOVES her to death!! Hanna has a teacher that speaks and rushes though her lessons and leaves Hanna lost and confused. Simone is able to explain the lessons in a different way to where Hanna can grasp each and every concept. We are so pleased with Simone!!!
Laura R. from Terrell, TX
Simone is very nice. She is very helpful and I am glad I found her to help me through this. Thank you again .
Tyler M. from Mesquite, TX
My daughter is currently being tutored by Simone. She has only had one session, but we do intend to have more. My daughter is being tutored in SAT MATH and SAT READING. My husband and I are hoping and praying our daughter is successful in her quest to score exceptionally well.
Christina K. from Mesquite, TX
Simone has really helped my grandson improve his math skills. He has went from failing math to passing with an "A". Thanks so much, Simone. He says you are the best!
Karen F. from Garland, TX
Simone worked with my daughter on SAT materials over a period of approximately 6 weeks, with sessions twice a week. Simone was calm, patient and found a way to help my daughter better understand the materials and develop effective test taking strategies. Simone was motivating and offered strong encouragement at each and every session. My daughter's confidence improved dramatically as did her test scores. My daughter's reading scores jumped by over 200 points, math score went up 70 points and writing went up 90 points. I attribute the substantial improvement to my daughter's efforts and Simone's tutoring. I would very definitely recommend Simone to anyone looking for a wonderful, effective tutor!!
Natalie M. from Kaufman, TX
I am so happy with Simone. My daughter has only been tutoring with her for about 3 weeks and you can already tell a huge difference. I love the homework and LOVE how Simone goes over everything they do. She is able to help answer questions via e-mail, text, call or in person. Great person and my daughter loves her. Lucky to have found such a great teacher!
Tamala G. from Mesquite, TX
My daughter was struggling with geometry the first six weeks of school so I contacted Simone after working with my daughter last school term in Algebra I. After just one lesson, my daughter understood all the troublesome concepts and aced her next exam and received an "A" on her two homework assignments. Simone is well worth the price and then some. She makes my daughter feel very confident and her grades reflect it. Don't take a break, a weekly lesson with Simone does wonders. Your child will thank you for it!
Cedric H. from Dallas, TX
I have transition from working on my math skills to learning excel. I have been in my position as a Transportation Manager at UPS for over 9 years. I have not been using excel but due to changes in the company I have been forced to take on new task. One area I have been lacking in is my lost skill/knowledge of excel and in planning meeting I was embarrassed that I could not create spreadsheets but Simone has been working with me and my confidence is building up and I feel good about myself. Simone is a great teacher and she continually make me feel that I can learn anything!
Angela H. from Mesquite, TX
This was our first session with Simone and my daughter and I are very satisfied. My daughter was very happy I found Simone. My daughter said Simone teaches you in a way you can understand it and she makes it seem very simple unlike her Math teacher. We are both happy with Simone. Our search for a math tutor is over! Yea!
Diane M. from Rowlett, TX
We are very pleased with our sessions we have had with our tutor Simone. My son is having problems in Algebra. Now my son is doing better and thinks she is very helpful, makes things clear and explains things well. We are so glad that we have found her and look forward to working with her. I am positive that my son will bring his grades up with her help.
Tori B. from Mesquite, TX
Simone is an excellent tutor. My daughter is definitely getting the sense of what she is learning, and she is currently doing quite well in math. Simone is great, and I look forward to a good continual educational relationship with great results!
Rosemary M. from Mesquite, TX
Simone was very patient and informative with my son. She helped him pass the ASVAB in a short period of time. I appreciate her help and assistance. Thank you for your help and God Bless!!! She's a great instructor.
Marie S. from Desoto, TX
This is lesson number 3 for my son and he has enjoyed Simone since the first lesson. She is patient and great and knows what she is doing and we are confident that my son will pass the ASVAB test to get in the military.
Julia M. from Rockwall, TX
Hallelujah!!! Simone kept my daughter on track and made sure she understood the lessons! She taught my daughter an entire semester of Algebra I in FOUR months! She's incredibly professional and yet personable. My daughter and I love her! She's a Godsend. Thank you so much Simone!!!
Felicia T. from Duncanville, TX
My experience with WyzAnt I was sort of reluctant to go through with it, because I didn't know what to expect, but I am so glad that I did. Simone J. is a wonderful, treasured find and I appreciate the help she is giving my son. He is a more confident student, but there is still work to be done and I trust Ms. J. will help us through it. Thank you so much.
Kandise T. from Mesquite, TX
Simone has been tutoring my 9 yr old son over the summer. He has been struggling with his reading comp and a few other subjects. Simone has been very patient with him and taught him easier methods when it comes to math as well as broke down where my son needs more practice in order to excell in his reading. She has been so patient with my son and very determined to get him to understand during his lessons. We are thankful for her and recommend Simone to all.
Daizshau W. from Dallas, TX
She is the best tutor that I've ever worked with. She knows how to break the problems down to help you understand.
Diana V. from Mesquite, TX
Simone is an excellent tutor! I've been working on getting my GED and I got stuck on the math pretty bad. Simone helped me with my algebra the first day for 75 minutes. After what she taught me I felt very confident that I can do this! She is very patient and made the math so clear for me. I would recommend Simone to anyone out there that is having the same kind of problems. Thank you Simone for all of your help with my GED preparations. Thanks to you I did pass! I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for your time and patience.
Victoria C. from Mesquite, TX
Simone has been a great help to me with Algebra and Pharmacy technician word problems; we have not fully conquered all the results I would like to have, but I am confident in the weeks ahead that we will. She is very good at explaining things to a level that is understandable which is good for me, because it has been awhile since I had been back in the college scenario and needed her to understand that, which she did.
Madison W. from Garland, TX
Simone J. is a awesome tutor, my daughter have been struggling with math since the third grade and she is now a 6th grader, I have tired several tutors in the past and none have been able to locate the problem. In just the first two session of tutoring with Simone, she was able to pin point the issues my daughter was having. I am pleased to know that Simone is willing to give up her spare time to help my child and other kids who need that extra help to achieve better grades and to build their confidence level with school work. I would recommend Simone to anyone, she has a great attitude, warm spirit and soft voice something that makes it easier for kids and moms to be comfortable with.
Gina G. from Rockwall, TX
My daughter is been tutored for an upcoming ACT by Simone. During her tutoring hour Simone takes the time to fully explain each problem and makes sure my daughter understands how to solve it. Simone also takes time to search for studying material out of her tutoring hour to provide to us and follows up on it. My daughter enjoys her tutoring hour very much and like Simone a lot. It's very easy to communicate with Simone and she is very prompt to answer emails or be found by the phone. We wish we had found Simone before!
Terri R. from Mesquite, TX
Simone is very smart, and really knows algebra! She is very focused and patient. She is easy to reach, and very available. I would recommend her for anyone who really wants to learn and make good grades!
Luis M. from Garland, TX
She is helping me with Algebra and she is amazing. She is really good and the price is just right. I`m sure I will pass the text next month.
Dandre Lee B. from Dallas, TX
Mrs. J. is a really good tutor..she is helping me pass my asvab test! She breaks down every problem and help me understand ways to solve it.
Mwana W. from Mesquite, TX
Simone is a breath of fresh learning air!! My daughter said she should have started tutoring with Simone long before now! My daughter felt more confidence after their first session! THANK YOU SIMONE!!!
Kimberly W. from Dallas, TX
I enjoyed working with Simone. She was able to guide me through very tough homework assignments that wasn't clearly stated by my professor. She was also very patient with me and allowed me to ask questions when I didn't understand what was required of me. I will definitely use her again.
Jerome P. from Dallas, TX
Ms Simone was very patient and made it seem simple the math that I had been struggling to understand for years that just shows if you have the right tutor it does not have to be hard.
Herendira H. from Dallas, TX
Simone was great she did help me understand things I didn't get before about my test and I really appreciate that.
Ericka D. from Dallas, TX
My son has responded positively to Ms. Simone’s instruction since day one. She speaks to him at his level, using vernacular and concepts that he can relate to. His math teacher commented to us, what an improvement he’s seeing from our son, that was after just one session! Now Ms. Simone is reviewing upcoming math lessons with our son so that when it is taught in class it will just be a reinforcement of something that he already knows. My teen looks foward to his tutoring sessions. I already see positive changes and his confidence with math is being bolstered. Simone is accessible, avialable, responsive, and connected.
Monica L. from Mesquite, TX
Simone was very patient and explains concepts very well. And a big plus is she's easy to talk to and responds quickly.
Ona Marie H. from Dallas, TX
Reviewing your detailed profile & meeting you along with my 3 sons proved to be one of the most inspiring investments that I have made toward my childrens education and my teaching skills as a parent. (I did not know that my 5th grader could tackle 8th grade assignments, I was a little embarrassed in a good way that I did not realize it beforehand). My 3 of my son's are very sensitive yet excited for each other's educational expectations and future achievements with you! Thank you so much MRS.SIMONE. We look forward to working with you in the near future.
Ibrahim D. from Rockwall, TX
By reading the book together I agree she have teaching sense which can help the student to understand. Thanks.
KRISTINE O. from Sachse, TX
My daughter had her first tutoring session with Simone. It went better than expected. Simone was able to break through my daughter's resistance in learning the material for Algebra I and guided her to focusing through the materials being taught to her. She is very patient and encouraging. She showed my daughter easier ways to approach her math problems, which will prove to be invaluable during test taking time. Thank you Simone for helping her and restoring her confidence in Algebra 1.
Willie H. from Mesquite, TX
I had a positive experience from my first tutoring session. The problems were explained to me in ways that I could understand on my level. It was very helpful and allowed me to apply what I learned in class.
Brian W. from Forney, TX
Miss J. was very nice and professional. My daughter really liked her a lot and said she made it easy to learn and would like to continue learning with her.
Erin A. from Mesquite, TX
Ms.Simone is a Wonderful Math Tutor She has very clear objective's in tutoring Lessons. She is very encouraging with high expectations of success for me while in school. I am very grateful for her help in math!!
Glinda A. from Mesquite, TX
My experience with Simone as an Algebra tutor was great! I was able to understand a great deal of concepts in a short period of time.
Angel H. from Mesquite, TX
This was our first session with Simone and my daughter and I are very satisfied. My daughter was very happy I found Simone. My daughter said Simone teaches you in a way you can understand it and she makes it seem very simple unlike her Math teacher. We are both happy with Simone. Our search for a math tutor is over! Yea!
Jennifer E. from Dallas, TX
Simone taught me the accounting basics such as credits and debits. Her kind and helpful approach is reassuring. Thank you!
Little S. from Richardson, TX
I'm studying for the ASVAB and she knows her stuff! I will be ready that's for sure! She knows how to break it down to where you understand it!
Katherine M. from Dallas, TX
Simone was nice enough to reschedule the lesson at the last minute, and it was so helpful. My daughter got the help she needed before her quiz the next day.
Jonathan S. from Mesquite, TX
My son has been trying to join the Air Force for the last year and was unable to get a score high enough. In fact his last score was a 24 and you need a 50 or better on the ASVAB to qualify. After 3 months of going to Simone J. once a week his score improved to a 52! She is solely responsible for his improvement. She kept me informed with his progress and filled him with confidence. She is simply THE BEST thing that happened to my son. HIRE HER!
David G. from Forney, TX
Kristin thought the tutoring went well. Simone seems patient and knowledgeable, which will be helpful for Kristin in this subject. Looking forward to moving forward and Kristin gaining knowledge and confidence in algebra.
Rizza R. from Garland, TX
Simone is able to clearly explain concepts that can be easily applied to the problems! Very pleasant and patient. Great teacher!!
Kimberly A. from Rockwall, TX
Simone is a wonderful tutor. My son took and failed the ASVAB a few months ago without having prepared very well. When this happened, I went searching for a tutor and I am so grateful that I found Simone. She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and an awesome communicator. She kept me informed of his progress and provided extra materials for him to look at in between classes. My son just passed the ASVAB! His score improved an overall 13 points! I can not say enough positive things about Simone. If you need an ASVAB tutor, give her a call!
Susan P. from New York, NY
Simone has helped me every step of the way this year in class of keeping me on track and helping me to find my own answers to the problems before me. She is very reliable and has always been willing to assist me.
