I am a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I have been a professional tutor for over 10 years. I am now applying to university in order to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I tutor Pre-K through 12th grade students in all subjects, using a set of highly beneficial programs. These programs help students struggling with phonics, reading comprehension, spelling, writing, grammar, vocabulary, math, history, science and study skills.

I have worked with many children who have speech-delays or language disorders. I use a program that helps students to develop their receptive and expressive language. My students have made great gains in the areas of: vocabulary, ability to follow directions, ability to use correct grammar when speaking and overall language comprehension.

I am familiar with the needs of dyslexic children and use several specialized programs designed for students with reading difficulties to help teach students how to read and spell at grade level. I have helped many students turn Ds and Fs into As and Bs.

Over the years, I have helped many ESL/ESOL students, both children and college students. I help my students by proofreading their schoolwork; promoting correct pronunciation when reading aloud; working on vocabulary-building and reading comprehension and writing skills.

I have served as a learning coach for students who are homeschooling using the online public school academy, K-12. I prepare for lessons, teach lessons and help students with K-12 schoolwork. If you are looking to homeschool this school year, feel free to e-mail me with any questions and I would be happy to talk to you about how I can be a learning coach for your student as well.

I am very dedicated to helping students reach their full potential at school. I work very hard to ensure that my students improve their skills. At the first session, I give my students a pre-assessment test to find out what areas we need to focus on. Then I recommend certain materials based on each student's needs. These materials usually include practice workbooks, research-based programs and other materials that I know will improve the student's skills.

I do not waste time during sessions. I use Session Summary Sheets to provide parents with a detailed description of the concepts we work on during each session, as well as goals for the next session and any recommendations I may have. You are welcome to be present during each session, if you would like.

In addition to providing quality tutoring, I also like to establish communication with your child's teacher. I introduce myself as your child's tutor and then ask what they think we should be focusing on during tutoring sessions. This e-mail communication is important because we can find out exactly what the teacher thinks we should work on based on performance on classwork, homework and tests.

I am an experienced, committed and reliable tutor. I offer both one-on-one tutoring and also group tutoring at a lower rate. My private tutoring rate varies depending on your location. Feel free to inquire regarding what your rate would be. Clients in the Chino Hills/Diamond Bar area have the lowest rates because they are closest to me. I also offer sibling rates and free sessions for referrals.

I am now offering online sessions via video chat, such as FaceTime or Skype. As a result of the clarity of the video chat, I am able to teach these sessions exactly as if I were sitting next to the student. I am able to teach the specialized programs that I use and even do homework help via video chat. My online students really enjoy the video chat sessions because they are low-pressure and utilize technology such as the iPad or computer. Upper graders especially like doing tutoring online. My online students enjoy much lower rates than my in-home students because I do not need to drive to their homes. Online tutoring is great for out-of-area students who really need the specialized programs that I offer, but are too far away for me to come to their homes. Right now, I am offering one free online session to new clients so that they can decide if online tutoring is right for them. We can also meet in person for the pre-assessment and for the first few sessions and then transition to online tutoring.

If you have any questions about the programs I use, homeschooling or online tutoring, please feel free to send me an e-mail.

Thank you for your time,

Gabrielle

Elementary (K-6th)

I have over seven years of experience working with Pre-K through 6th grade children. I have tutored in all subjects, including homework help. I have helped many children turn their Ds and Fs into As and Bs. I begin with a pre-assessment test so that I can determine the skill level of the student. Then, I recommend practice books and other materials that I know will help. During the sessions, I usually work on homework first. Once we get that done, I work on problem areas using the practice books... Read More

Phonics

I have over 7 years of experience teaching phonics to children who are in Pre-K through 6th grade. Much of my experience is in teaching Pre-K students how to read. I use phonics workbooks, flashcards, charts and other materials to help students improve their phonics skills. I also stress the importance of reading to young children in order to improve their skills. Depending on the age and skill level of the child, I will read to them and with them to help them gain confidence.

Special Needs

In my 10 years of tutoring, I have worked with several students who have special needs. One of the main special needs that I encounter is speech delays. Many of my speech delayed students have a language disorder. They have a limited vocabulary and limited language comprehension (understanding what people are saying). I use a specialized program to help speech delayed children to improve their expressive and receptive vocabulary. This program also improves language comprehension and helps the... Read More

ESL/ESOL

I have helped ESL/ESOL students learn English for over nine years. I worked for the Pomona Unified School District teaching English to ESL/ESOL students and I have also tutored many ESL/ESOL students one-on-one. We work on English speaking, grammar, vocabulary, reading, reading comprehension, spelling, writing and phonics. I have worked with several students who had very limited English skills and have helped them to be able to converse, read and write at a proficient level. I use successful reading,... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have a lot of experience teaching ADD/ADHD students. Several of my family members have ADD/ADHD and I am very familiar with the needs of these types of students. I have been a tutor for over ten years and have helped many students who struggle with ADD/ADHD issues. I use a specialized program that helps these students to focus and I use several different techniques that help those with ADD/ADHD.

Autism

I have been a professional tutor for ten years and have been working with children on the autism spectrum for 7 years. In the last two years, I have begun to work with these children in regards to their academic skills. I use two highly successful programs to help these students with oral language (expressive and receptive vocabulary), listening comprehension and reading comprehension. As a result of these programs, the students have also improved their writing and grammar skills.

Dyslexia

I use several highly successful programs to improve my students' reading and spelling skills. These programs teach phonemic awareness, reading, reading comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing. These programs work, even if the school has been unable to teach the child how to read using conventional methods. These programs were designed with dyslexics in mind, so they can learn these essential skills in the way that works for them.
