Patient, enthusiastic, highly-qualified elementary tutor

Hello parents and caregivers,

A state certified educator and current 3rd grade teacher, I may be the ideal tutor for your elementary student. I am a graduate of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, where I earned a degree in Elementary Education in 2010. I returned to Furman to complete a master's degree in Education before relocating to New Jersey in 2011. I am a third year teacher with experience working in all grades K-5, including experience with individuals who have special needs.

I favor a hands-on, real-world approach to teaching, where I facilitate understanding with your child. My experience in the classroom has provided me with a "toolbox" of real world, concrete examples for the topics your child might be struggling with. I will help them discover how to think like a problem-solver and use a variety of strategies to tackle difficult tasks. My specific methods will be individualized for your child and tailored to their needs and learning style preferences.

I am passionate about education and will help your child reach that "Ah-ha!" moment where they understand a concept they have been struggling with. Your child is sure to make academic progress when working with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Phonics

As a professional educator, I am competent in phonics instruction. My previous position was in a Kindergarten classroom, where a huge emphasis was placed on phonics. I understand how to help students' develop phonemic awareness so that they understand the correspondence of letters with sounds and can then apply those to their speech and spelling. Phonics instruction is very important for beginning readers as understanding this correspondence will help them be able to decode unfamiliar words when... Read More

Study Skills

I am a state certified educator, currently teaching 3rd grade in a New Jersey public school. Part of my position entails preparing my students for state standardized tests. Additionally, I emphasize study skills in my classroom to help my students prepare for unit tests. I have experience working with students grades K-5 so I am familiar with study skills that work best for different age students as well as various learning styles.

Praxis

As a professional educator, I have taken the Praxis tests to become certified. I scored in the top 90% when taking my own Praxis tests and was awarded the Praxis Award for Excellence in 2010 for my outstanding scores.
