K-12 Tutor Reaching Students Who Learn Differently

I am a certified special educator with fourteen years of experience in the school system. As the parent of a gifted child with a disability, I understand that no two students process information the same way. As a teacher in a socioeconomically challenged demographic, I understand that in order to reach ALL students, one must strive to truly know EACH student. While 80% of students may make progress with standard instructional delivery, I specialize not only in reaching the other 20% but a...

ADD/ADHD

I am a certified special educator with 10 years of experience working with students with various disabilities, including ADHD. I am the parent of a 16 year old son who has ADHD. With my advocacy, a 504 plan was developed for him to help him access and make progress in the general education curriculum. I utilize chunking, checklists, a variety of activities, multi-modal instruction, and other strategies in order to reach students with attentional difficulties.

Jodi R. from North East, MD

Rosa enjoys her sessions and learns a lot. She has improved her math grade from an F to a C+. I'm looking forward to even more improvement.


Heather T. from Rising Sun, MD

My daughter has only had three sessions with Cheryl, but I've already noticed a difference in her attitude toward reading. For a child who has always struggled, and therefore grew to dislike reading, to ask if she can read me a story, this really is a major development. My daughter adores Cheryl and tells me her favorite day of the week is when she gets to see her. I'm feeling so hopeful!!


Jane F. from Bel Air, MD

We are very pleased after just one lesson. Cheryl has been great at communicating since we showed interest in her. My son worked well with her and is comfortable asking questions. We look forward to working out the difficulties he is experiencing in algebra 1. Cheryl was flexible this week when my son was sick. He was having trouble catching up from missing school. She worked her schedule to see him and help him out on a different day. Thanks for caring and being flexible!


Dennis R. from Forest Hill, MD

Cheryl is down right tenacious in making sure good progress is made. Uses a number of approaches to find the one that works best.


Bernard M. from Edgewood, MD

The first time I spoke to Cheryl, I got a feeling that she is not tutoring just for the money, but she really cares about students well being. After talking to her, it confirmed that she has experience and knowledge for my student to succeed. I made the right choice. Thank you, Cheryl.


Patty P. from Street, MD

Cheryl has been wonderful! My son is very excited to continue his lessons with Cheryl. After evaluating my son, Cheryl's evaluation is 100% on target with our concerns!


Steve A. from Baltimore, MD

I will be calling on Cheryl from time to time. I started catching the topic from her approach (towards the end) but she had to leave for another client. A little longer time at that spot could have helped my understanding a little better, but she announced that she had someone else scheduled for her.


Wes S. from Bel Air, MD

Our daughter just had her first lesson in math with Cheryl. She felt very comfortable and at ease. She seemed to enjoy learning the material. Cheryl was able to assess the areas of weakness and begin addressing them. I think Cheryl will be able to help my daughter and give her more confidence in a subject she as never liked.


Erica B. from Belcamp, MD

Cheryl has helped my daughter reach reading level and many math goals. When a child looks forward to learning, you know the educator is doing a great job.


Cheryl D. from Forest Hill, MD

Cheryl has been working with our son for several weeks now. He has been surprised that these sessions have been enjoyable, which is something he has never said about any kind of math!


Tracie K. from Bel Air, MD

This was my son's first lesson, but he liked working with Cheryl. I liked the format she talked about using for him to be able to retain information.


Jayna N. from Fremont, CA

Miss Cheryl O. is very outgoing, awesome, and fun! I love her ways of teaching and I always look forward to her classes!


SHAMIRRA N. from Baltimore, MD

I just would like to thank you so much! My daughter was very excited after the session. She liked your techniques and enjoyed the "lesson". She is never excited about math. So somehow/someway you opened her thoughts and confidence and this means so much to us. Can't thank you enough!!


Helen N. from Forest Hill, MD

Cheryl is the best, results even after the first session. She understands that learning is about more than just the subject but the approach too. If one way doesn't work than you try another until you find what works.


Marcia T. from Little Neck, NY

Ms. O. is an amazing tutor. she makes every session fun and enjoyable, while still making sure that her students get work done. She will help her students if they don't understand something by going through and patiently explaining what they need to know.


Yuying L. from New York, NY

Cheryl taught me how to get a higher writing grade in my essays and responses! She gave me tips on my writing, like always plan out your answer and annotate the story that you use. I'm really happy that Cheryl helped me with this!


Dionisa O. from Belcamp, MD

Cheryl was very patient and encouraging. I liked the methods she used to see where my daughter was and she was accurate about what she needs help in. I am looking forward to her and my daughter working together again.


Alonzo M. from Edgewood, MD

I am very pleased with the progress my son has made with Cheryl. I have seen his confidence increase and grades improve in just a few sessions. She is by far the best tutor we have used.


Ken M. from Corona, CA

Really appreciated her assisting our daughter in an area she needed a little help. Especially making herself available on such short notice!
