Hello, I'm Dr. Dee. My doctorate is in curriculum and instruction. I have been tutoring students for 14 years now. Students learn from me in one lesson what would normally take several lessons. My focus is on reading comprehension, essay writing, and helping students to build study skills. I have tutored students from preschool age up to the university level. Tutoring is a very rewarding experience for me. I try to present the lesson or assignment in a way that is easy for students to understand. At the same time, I have high expectations. In one of my full-time positions, I have worked with student teachers so I know how important it is to teach according to the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills). My specialty is working with English Language Learners or low performers. Let me show you how you or your child could reach his/her potential!

In this case, they were animal books. For some reason, he related well with animals.

Another important goal in working with elementary age students... Read More

INITIAL CONSONANT CORRESPONDENCE - Teach one letter sound using a storybook. Call the child's attention to the one letter sound throughout the book. SORTING CONSONANT SOUNDS - Set up two columns with an illustration of a sound at the top of each column. (i.e., M:moon, S:socks) Give the child a stack of cards with illustrations and ask him/her to place the card... Read More
