Hello all I need homework help for my middle schooler entering
7th grade. She went to Raskob Learning Center in the evening last
school year which was pretty good, but pricey. She has ADD and
she articulated to me that she needs help with the day to day
school work. She has been tested and re-tested and does not
qualify for anything from the school district that really seems
to help.
I have checked current recommendations on file and they did not
pan out.
Any suggestions or positive experiences with a particular tutor
would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Nov 30 2007 I am a teacher with 7 years experience in Elementary through High School and am a Teach for America alum. I have extensive experience working with students with mild to moderate learning disabilities (including working as a Resource Specialist and a Reading teacher). I can tutor in Reading, English, Humanities, Spanish, most sciences, and Math to Precalculus. I also coach students on organizational skills and strategies around their learning styles. I can work most afternoons and evenings, including weekends. I advocate for equal access to curriculum and have experience with IEP's--running and writing them, and representing parents. I have taken a break from teaching to raise my own son, so I will approach working with your child from the perspectives of both a teacher and a mother. I have a car so can travel to many bay area locations. I currently make $40/hour at my school, but I am willing to negotiate. Thank you for your consideration.

I specialize in remediating dyslexia using multisensory teaching methods but all students are welcome! Parents and teachers have been very happy with the progress I have made with students! Kristin_Bernardelli@hotmail.com Kristin Bernardelli Kristin_Bernardelli[at]hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------- Jul 04 2007 I used to be a college English instructor. Later I was a Learning Disabilities Specialist at UC Berkeley. Since my retirement I maintain a Berkeley private practice as a learning specialist and psychotherapist (Marriage and Family Therapist). I specialize in helping junior high and high school students find ways of coping with learning disability (LD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I teach students to organize their time and possessions, complete work and submit it on time, sharpen their basic reading and writing skills, overcome writing blocks, prepare for college. I can help young people and their parents deal with the ''homework hassle'' that often accompanies a learning disorder. Visit my website: www.livetolearn.org; or contact me by phone or email. Caroline Summer carolinesummer[at]earthlink.net 510 549-1892 ----------------------------------------------- Jun 28 2007 I am a teacher taking a sabbatical from the Oakland Unified School District for a year. I am very good at helping children learn and believe in themselves, and would like to continue doing so during the time in which I am out of the classroom. I have taught in Oakland for 8 years, and Sacramento for 2. I have succeeded with children where often others have not been able to, and have successfully reached the ''difficult'' children, or the children who have different learning styles, as well as the children who do well in academic settings. I can provide testimonials from other parents. I can tutor for elementary school (reading, phonics, writing, math, art, science, Spanish, social studies, study skills/habits), or middle and high school (some sciences, Spanish, some math, reading comprehension, writing, study skills). If you email me, I can send you my resume and a more complete listing of my services. Thank you!

I am trained in multisensory techniques, and tailor my sessions completely to the individual student's particular needs. I am an experienced certificated teacher and educational therapist with a true love for and pride in what I do for students who experience difficulties in school, from kindergarten through high school.

All ages and grades. M. Denise Hartman mdeez[at]alamedanet.net 510-763-3654 ----------------------------------------------- Mar 29 2007 LEARNING SPECIALIST/TUTOR: Learning outside of the box. I'm a former special education teacher with a master's in special ed., emphasis in learning disabilities. Unlike the ''learning center'' chains which plug kids into their formula, I tailor each lesson to the individual's needs and interests. Rapport is key to my work, and my students know I value their strengths and unique qualities. I use hands-on, multisensory techniques, games, art, brain-based movement, and personal experiences to making learning fun and relevant. Subject areas include reading (phonics, fluency, comprehension at all levels), writing/English, study skills & learning strategies, and math (elementary math, up to pre-algebra). I work with individuals and small groups in my home office in Concord, not far from the Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill borders, one mile off Highway 680. Sometimes we can arrange for me to work with your child at school. Homeschool consultations are also available. Lisa Snortum-Phelps snelps[at]aaahawk.com (925) 305-9974
