As a teacher in the community, I'm pleased to bring my training and expertise to tutoring especially in elementary education. It is a thrill to work one-on-one with individuals or small groups who need a little support to reach their educational goals. I am an elementary school teacher, but can help in various subjects for middle school and adult learners. Right now, I am in the process of getting certified in inclusion education and Orton Gillingham. This summer I will be working towards my master degree at Kennesaw State in inclusion and ESOL education.

I work with at-risk students in my local school district, helping them with math concepts. I am able to help my students with instruction in different kinds of knowledge, such as real-life practical examples and simulations. Creating multiple paths so that students of different abilities, interest or learning needs experience equally appropriate ways to absorb, use, develop and present concepts as a part of the daily learning process. I allow students to take greater responsibility and ownership for their learning.

I am an experienced, professional, and qualified private tutor that assists students in homework help, review of classroom material, test and exam preparation for the class, as well as study and organization skills. I am also available to help students who are home-schooled. Usually, I only tutor with one subject at a time, but can help various subjects for slightly higher fee.

I do not have access to the internet all day and I do not have text messaging. Please call me and leave a message for a cancelled lesson. Thank you and I appreciate your time and consideration.

Reading

I am certified in Elementary education which also includes reading p-5. I am able to teach students how to read by breaking down concepts that start from learning phonics, guided reading and comprehension strategies. I also love to help children acquire a love for reading.

Elementary Math

I have had wonderful opportunities to teach a diverse group of students in math, including those with learning disabilities, those who perform at grade level and below, and those who are gifted/exceptional.

As a tutor I help guide students through the solution process. I ask the student leading questions that will direct the student towards the correct steps. I also help by teaching concepts. This helps my students become independent learners. In mathematics, it is important to teach... Read More

I have a strong desire to educating young minds and help them blossom into, well-rounded, responsible, and successful individuals.

Phonics

As a teacher, I am certified in reading and language development. I have had the opportunity to help students in preschool and kindergarten learn phonics in order to help them learn to read. Phonics, the connection between individual letters and its sound, are the building blocks to reading. Early readers sound out and decode words to make meaning. This is done by helping the student develop pre-reading skills and encourage emergent literacy through spoken language, phonological awareness, print... Read More

Study Skills

As a certified teacher in Elementary education (p-5) and tutor I have worked with students in elementary and middle school to help them acquire study skills. I have helped my students with study skills by showing them to apply certain strategies and tips. The most important part of study sills is to help a students with organization skills as well.

During a study skills sessions, I cover note taking, time management, organization, binder skills, learning styles, concentration and memory,... Read More

ESL/ESOL


I was able to teach ESL in Costa Rica. I have excellent communication skills, patience, and ability to relate to students of diverse backgrounds. I help students with basic theory, teaching speaking, grammar, listening, reading and writing skills.

ADD/ADHD

I have had the pleasure to work with many children whom have ADD and ADHD. Right now I am working in the process of getting certified through special education as well.

When I work with children whom have ADD/ADHD I use a variety of techniques.

1. Make directions clear and short. Repeat if necessary.

2. Make each task specific…in other words; instead of giving several directions at once, split the directions into smaller steps.

3. Give reminders often,... Read More
