ADHD
ADD/ADHD
Throughout my years of teaching and tutoring, I have worked with several students with ADD/ADHD. I can tailor my sessions to a student's strengths - for example, incorporating variety and hands-on activities whenever possible. I also help uncover motivational concerns, provide organizational skills. No two students with ADD/ADHD are alike; I have a positive attitude and I'm open to new techniques.

Shelley is the absolute best. I needed help with a research capstone project for a graduate level course. The instructions for the project were very vague with little guidance. After my first meeting with Shelley, I walked away feeling very optimistic about the project. Shelley responded to my emails promptly and always made herself available for additional questions or concerns following our meetings. I earned an "A" on the project and I honestly don't think I would have if it were not for Shelley.

Our firm (a mid-size accounting firm) used Shelley's services to give additional training to two employees in Microsoft Office and general computer use on a weekly basis for several months. Shelley is very patient and was able to break down computer concepts so that they were easier to understand for our two employees. Both employees enjoyed their sessions and have vastly improved their computer skills which has translated in simplifying and speeding up their work. She was always on-time and very flexible. I highly recommend using Shelley as a tutor!
Diane C. from Ashburn, VA
Shelley is a knowledgeable and patient tutor. She was responsive to my queries online and thorough in her explanations of Dreamweaver when we met in person. I appreciated her follow-up afterwards and willingness to share additional information that might prove helpful down the road.
Nhat P. from Annandale, VA
Shelley's tutoring was very helpful to me as an IT and web design student. She was understanding and was able to offer a flexible tutoring time for me. Her tutoring, expertise in html, css and design has helped me to better understand my projects and overcome several difficulties in the technicalities of coding. The tutoring she provides is clear, concise and I highly recommend her to all students in need of coding or web design help!
Amy A. from Mechanicsville, VA
Shelley was able to quickly discern the issues my daughter is having with test-taking. She provided constructive criticism in a nonjudgmental and kind way. She also devised a personalized plan of action that is doable, and we are looking forward to more sessions with her soon!
Asma A. from Fairfax, VA
I really recommend her. She helped me in editing my research paper. She is knowledgeable and so kind. I really learned a lot from her.
Karen C. from Hendersonville, NC
My first session with Shelley went beyond my expectations for what could be accomplished with a tutor. I had expected spending time to calibrate our communication styles and coordinate my needs with how Shelley might be able to help. I was super happy to find that took no time at all! We were able to get straight to work on the aspects of DreamWeaver that I urgently needed to get a handle on. I can't wait to apply my new knowledge and develop a few web pages before our next lesson. Thank you Shelley!
Abdul B. from Falls Church, VA
Shelley is really good teacher. I was surprised about the great knowledge and background information she has on the topic. She is very skilled in explaining the material. Easy to understand and talk to.
Sara A. from Fairfax, VA

Vanessa D. from Dania, FL
Shelley answered my request right away and created a step by step video to walk me through my lesson. She was awesome and very professional. Highly recommended
Jeff H. from Annandale, VA
She takes the time to explain everything. I've learned a lot of new techniques for Power Point and my QuickBooks skills have improved. Thank you Shelley.
Saad B. from Vienna, VA
She is a really great tutor. I took her for my philosophy course, and I was not interested in philosophy at all. But, she made it very easy to understand, and she likes to make sure her students comprehend the material as easy as possible. She is also very very very patient with her students: she can say things over and over again which is not all tutors tend to do. If you want to succeed in your classes, take her immediately. She will guide you to the right path for success.
Sima M. from Fairfax, VA
