"I am an Academic Coach who specializes in ADHD and other focused related issues. I hold degrees in Psychology, Adult Education and completed an Educational specialist degree at Liberty University specializing in Teaching and Learning (K-12). I currently hold certifications in ESL and certified as an Attention Deficit Consultant (ADC-C) by the American Institute of Health Care Professional, Inc. since July 2018.

My educational philosophy is a combination of Bloom's Taxonomy and the Taxonomy of the Significant learning Experience (SLE); believing that learning must allow for repetition and application of that which was taught so that information moves from mere memorization to actual learning. The role of the educator must go beyond the responsibility of dispensing knowledge and tests, to creating an environment which would inspire and motivate students desire to learn. This can only occur in an environment of mutual respect and a basic belief that all students are capable of learning. This is what forces the educator to discover the method in which the learner will be the most successful. Overall, education is a balancing act whereby educators provide a positive influence, leading and guiding students down a path of discovery; while at the same time ensuring that learners obtain the knowledge, skills and moral development necessary to positively contribute to society.

I have extensive experience in the following areas: Elementary Education, Algebra, Biology, Physical & Environmental Sciences; GED and Test Prep; study skills including time management, goal setting, and organization; Microsoft Office - word, excel and PowerPoint, Public Speaking, and Communications. In addition, I have also taught coursework in reading and essay writing. I work with individuals of all ages with ADHD, teaching them and their caregivers strategies which would increase learning efficiency." less...
