My name is Jianjia. I'm a UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in both environmental studies and adolescent psychology. I've always loved school and have been enjoying re-learning grammar rules and learning how to reinforce lessons in ways that click with each individual student. I also teach math foundations (number pairs that add and subtract to 10, visualization techniques) so that students understand what the numbers represent before they start doing more abstract math manipulations.
I've been working with students for over a year now. At the elementary school, I will work with students individually or as a reading group. At the library's literacy program we help dyslexic kids learn phonemic awareness, grammar rules, and various aspects of reading words and, eventually, books.
I work with students online, through Zoom, so we can talk face to face and share screens. I prefer parents to be on the call with their child to help maintain focus and learn how they can reinforce the concepts throughout the week.
