Over 8 years of passionate, creative teaching and tutoring!

I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation.

Experienced Elementary Teacher - Tutoring in all Subjects

I am currently a fourth grade elementary school teacher, who has experience teaching grades K-5. Having taught for over 10 years, I enjoy teaching all students in my classrooms, including sped, gifted, and English Language Learners. Having a master's degree in Linguistically Diverse Education has enabled me to specialize in literacy and how both first and second languages are learned and acquired. Therefore, I am able to give extra support to your child in reading comprehension and writing - including grammar, phonics, vocabulary, and test taking skills.
My teaching style is student centered; differentiation according to each child's unique and special needs is essential to successful growth in academics, confidence, and motivation. I teach specific skills and concepts in small parts so that they are clearly understandable; yet I give students opportunities to use those skills in a ... read more

Tutor with 13 years experience

Make learning fun and everyone wins! Not all children absorb material the same way. I try to explore different ways of presenting material and working through concepts to relate the material to something that can be understood.
I'm an environmental engineer who has been tutoring for the last 13 years. I enjoy working with children and excell at working with children who might be struggling with comprehension or who have learning disabilities. I have experience working with children who are ESL or ELL. I have worked with elementary, secondary and high school students.
