About Me

Experience Summary

I am currently a homeschooling mother of three. I have taught at the college level, reading development for pre-readers through adults, as well as having one on one tutoring experience. I am passionate about education and helping children not only succeed but build skills necessary to accomplish their personal goals. I understand that students can often feel lost or overwhelmed by the information they are trying to learn. I help alleviate their stress by helping them develop learning skills that can be brought to nearly every subject. I am relaxed enough that they feel safe to ask the questions they might not in class, but also expect each student to bring their very best effort to each session. Because I tutor a wide age range I make sure that I am meeting the student at their appropriate level. I love teaching and bring that love into my tutoring sessions, hopefully that love of learning will be passed on to my students!

Subject Commentary

Basic Learning Skills Proficiency: Experienced
Help kids develop tools to understand the information given to them across subjects. I focus on how it is that your particular student learns.
Elementary Proficiency: Experienced
Have tutored kids in k through fourth grade for the most part. Third and fourth grade seem to be a significant turning point for kids, I can help them if they are behind or just lacking confidence in their school work.
Elementary Grammar Proficiency: Experienced
I usually interweave this with reading skills, helping children see how the words are 'working' in a sentence, giving them a basic feel for syntax and basic grammar.
Elementary Math Proficiency: I know the basics
If you need help in reading and math I can accommodate at the elementary level.
Elementary Phonics Proficiency: Experienced
Taught phonics as part of reading development. Also used whole word recognition.
Elementary Reading Proficiency: Experienced
The early building blocks of reading are the most important. I will help young readers become confidant by sharpening their knowledge of basic reading skills as well as helping with comprehension.
Elementary Study Skills Proficiency: Experienced
This is about sharpening their skills with the basics. Learning how to organize the material in a way that helps them understand it more fully.
Elementary Vocabulary Proficiency: Experienced
Interwoven with their reading I draw attention to how words are used in sentences as well as expanding through word play.
