Special Needs

ADHD,

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.
Hard of Hearing,

Hard of Hearing

I am very patient with students that are hard at hearing and/or need more detailed instruction and help with their classes. I have worked with a student in the past who had difficulty hearing and I emphasized a system that allowed the student to utilize her other senses (such as sight and touch) to compensate for her deficiency in hearing. I focus on illustrating the material more visually versus speaking through the material. I also created a system to where the student could show me where and what they were not understanding.

She was very flexible with my schedule and was able to teach me in the way I liked to be taught, such as, repeating problems I was struggling on and wording everything so that I would not only memorize it but also fully understand it. Overall a great experience!!!

Nice, clever, attentive

When I had sessions with Simone, I wanted her to assist me with preparing for the ATI Teas exam. Specifically, I wanted to start off with the Science section. We went through some of the systems of the human body and one thing that I like about her teaching style is she incorporates creative ways to memorize the terms of the human body, for that specific section. Other than that, she is a tutor who students can work well with.

Well Informed Tutor

Simone provided great techniques, as well as tips on preventing anxiety before the exam. Additionally, she gave excellent strategies on different concepts within the ATI TEAS exam. She was wonderful and I feel much more confident heading into my exam! After my session with Simone, I took my ATI TEAS exam a week later and I passed! I improved many points within each section. I felt confident going into the exam knowing the different pointers she provided. She made me feel prepared and ready to take the ATI TEAS.
