Diamond Debbie Tutoring
Tutoring is a passion for me. I love to help students learn and grow to meet their needs and goals. Working with you in a one-to-one environment will create a positive and productive experience. I am extremely patient but can maintain a sense of humor and fun during lessons. I have a vast array of skills and education.

ADD/ADHD
I am already approved for Special Needs. Currently, my WyzAnt student is a 8th grader with ADHD. I helped him, his parents and the school adjust his Individual Education Plan to meet his needs. We were able to advocate for him to be placed in two special needs classes. He successfully finished 7th grade with no need for summer school. Together, we work on simple math problems and reading comprehension by illustrating stories and using math to support some of the activities (e.g. travel costs and budgeting). When his attention span is short, we find different ways to refocus and gain more energy such as tossing a stress ball while just talking or quizzing on math problems.

I want to thank Deborah for being so patient and understanding with my special needs grandson. I haven't met her but what my daughter has told me about her is wonderful. She has helped my grandson and my daughter so much. And they and myself look forward to working with her for as long as needed. I think he is going to benefit from these sessions so much. And because of this he is going to be a better kid because he will be happier with himself. When a 13 year old boy says he really likes his tutor that just goes to show how special she is.
