K-3 Reading
I've been a classroom teacher, Reading specialist, and a Gifted/talented teacher. I've tutored for over 10 years, I know how to quickly address what your child needs!
I'm a National Board Certified teacher in Literacy. As a master teacher, I know how to pinpoint student's area of interest as well as change strategies or methodologies when needed. I will provide all the materials and I can also give you ideas to practice at home.

SPANISH-
If you're interested in SPANISH I tutor semesters 1-2. So only first year Spanish or beginners of any age including young students in dual language programs. I have an undergraduate degree in Spanish from the University of Minnesota. I have a Masters degree from ASU in Bilingual Education. I have studied abroad in Spain and I've traveled in Mexico and Guatemala. I'd love to teach basic to intermediate levels of Spanish for all age groups grade school-college.

K-3rd reading
Is your child struggling in reading, writing or spelling? Is a heavy phonics program not working for your child?
I love to help this age go from learning a words to being able to read fluently! I can also help older students who are still struggling who are at about a 2nd grade level or lower.

I only tutor in person and prefer a 15 minute or so drive of my home in East Tempe. For safety reasons, I prefer to meet at a halfway location for the first meet up. Ideas of where to meet: Tempe. Mesa Dobson or Chandler Sunset Library, Panera near Chandler Mall, Tempe Starbucks or Panera at Guadalupe and Mc C. East valley- Starbucks at Mesa Dr/McQueen and Guadalupe. For some circumstances, I'm wiling to negotiate at meeting at a client's home after the first public meet up. If I meet you in your home, I will charge a higher fee.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Incredible tutor, so many different techniques to help teach

Jody is an incredible tutor. It takes a lot to keep my daughter interested and engaged, but Jody succeeds every time. She brings a whole suitcase full of fun activities and projects to keep my daughter learning and interested. She uses iPad apps as well as hands on learning tools to help her succeed. Jody is great with scheduling and is very personable. I definitely recommend her!!!!

Patient and knowledgeable.

We've had two sessions with Jody... she is helping our 8 year old son with literacy, reading, phonics development. He has responded well to her approach and was excited for our next session. She's seems really invested in the work she does and seemed to genuinely care that my son is engaged, encouraged, and having fun at the same time. He even responded well to the review activities she suggested we work on between sessions. I think we've found a great match and I'm excited to see how he progresses in the coming weeks.

Great teacher!

When she left my daughter commented on how nice she was and how she wanted her to come back. She’s definitely a fit for us and very thorough.

Danyell, 3 lessons with Jody

Very sweet, knowledgeable

She taught my daughter Spanish. Without much prior notice of the book. She taught her the concepts of Spanish and gain confidence that she can learn it. We like her very much.

Outstanding tutor!!

Jody was very helpful working with my son. He is a High School Freshman, and I just wanted a tutor to keep him up to speed and prepared for tests. She will be the perfect fit and I look forward to her working with him throughout the remainder of the school year!

Can’t wait for our next session!

My son had his first lesson, he’s a beginner and in the 5th grade. I loved how Jody broke down the words in a way to build on the proper pronunciation. I feel this is already very promising and he’s excited for his next session. :)

Knowledable and Patient

Ms. Jody is an amazing tutor. She's very patient with my son. He has ADHD and can be easily distracted. She knows exactly how to keep him engage and makes learning fun for him with learning games and activities. She is also advance with different learn tools that are appropriate for his skill level. Also, she collaborates with his teacher's assignments and her learning materials. Her learning methods are strategic by allowing him to earn points (fun stickers) for each completed lesson, which keeps him engaged, motivated, and excited to learn. And at the end of his sessions, he's rewarded with a special toy, which my son looks forward to. She goes over and beyond. We are very lucky to have her in our lives.
