Hi!
My name is Angee and I am excited about helping students uncover their love for learning.
Education:
I attend Liberty University. I will have my degree in Educational Psychology at the beginning of August 2016.I will also be taking concurrent graduate classes in School Psychology this January. I have taken many classes which allow me to use educational theories in my tutoring and these have made retention of concepts with my students easier . It is my firm belief that when you know how...

ADD/ADHD
I am a developmental psychology student at Liberty University. At the college I tutored at, I tutored to special needs kids and I nanny special needs children. I have a lot of experience designing curriculum that fits their learning style. With ADHD it is about getting a lot done in a short period of time. I have learned that if I allow my students breaks, they perform better. Also it is about recognizing their frustrations and helping them to conquer them.

Aspergers
I am a developmental psychology student at Liberty University. At the college I tutored at, I tutored to special needs kids and I nanny special needs children. I have a lot of experience designing curriculum that fits their learning style. I was a nanny for a boy who had Aspergers. It was my job to get him up to the level he could enter kindergarten. It involved a lot of repetition and positive reinforcement. I also would minimize distractions that were hard on his senses such as loud noises, certain textures and certain amounts of light. I would also allow a space for him to sit and calm down when he was upset and striking out.

I deal with Autism in the same way I deal with Aspergers. It's about patience, repetition and verbal communication enhancement. My students, just like my Asperger students would often get frustrated and strike out so I would give them a place to calm down and often time if they had something that comforted them such as a favorite stuff animal, I would make sure they had that as well. Tutoring Autism students is a fine balance between learning and not overloading their senses so I take that into consideration when I tutor them. Often time they strike out not because they are undisciplined but because they are overwhelmed.
