Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I use a systematic, multisensory, metacognitive-building, and creative approach to creating individualized math instruction for the elementary-aged learner. Highly experienced in remedial math skills for the older learner as well.
English

English

English is my area of expertise. As an A+ student in English, during my own schooling, I have continued my expertise in the English language by dedicating my tutoring practice to it. I have taught English on all levels, from Pre-K through adult. Some clients come to me specifically just for proofreading and editing papers. I am also a writer, and am in the works of getting two books published.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have been a certified and practicing ESL teacher for several years. I first began teaching English as a second language, to adults, in 2007, while I was in college still. I had an intermediate class of adults, twice a week. My students excelled and 9 out of 12 moved on to the advanced class, which was not common, as most students, stayed at the intermediate level for three courses, before moving on to advanced. I have continued my ESL practice, while being an elementary school teacher in an inclusion classroom, that included 60% of students being ESL. 48% of my students tested out of needing ESL services, by the end of the school year. They moved from a level 2 to a level 5 in one school year. This was a first for Boston Public. I was happy to be the first to accomplish this. I also hold a current Massachusetts teaching license for English as a Second Language PreK-6.
Grammar

Grammar

Grammar is my passion. It is too often overlooked, or not taught effectively, because of the instructor's own limited understanding of when and how to use proper grammar in writing. With young learners, I make up games to make learning grammar enjoyable. I also teach grammar rules, while students are writing, so learning it is a more natural process. However, there is a hierarchy of how grammar rules should be introduced. Knowing this hierarchy enables the instructor to be more effective.
Handwriting

Handwriting

Penmanship is still just as important to a person's intellectual and personal growth as it was before the invention of the computer. The brain uses an entirely different part of the brain when handwriting versus typing, according to research out of Stanford. I have been taught by some of the best on how to support young and grown students with improving their penmanship skills. It has been a joy to teach handwriting for the past 16 years.
Literature

Literature

As an avid reader of classic literature, I am quite familiar with texts presented to me by a tutee, during tutoring. My experience in expository writing enables me to help students with any literature writing assignment. Students who struggle with reading, will find reading literature with me, easier, because of my background in reading instruction using the Wilson Reading System.
Phonics

Phonics

I have been a highly qualified phonics teacher for several years now. I use the Wilson Reading System, in all my phonics instruction. I incorporate my own phonics games, that I've created, to make the learning of phonics more engaging and effective for students.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I proofread everything; every email, every writing assignment of students, everything people post online. I am the first to notice an error. In prior years, often times, my principal or colleagues, will give me handouts to proofread before they are sent out. I have had clients come to me specifically for proofreading writing assignments.
Reading

Reading

Reading instruction entails decoding, fluency, and comprehension. I use the Wilson Reading program to build decoding and fluency skills. I have participated in workshops, such as Lindamood Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing program, that gives Reading teachers a strong background for teaching students comprehension skills. The purpose of reading is to understand what is read, so decoding and fluency simply isn't enough. I always check students for comprehension. Understanding the meaning of root words, prefixes, suffixes, and parts of speech can also increase a student's reading comprehension. All areas of the English language are addressed in order to improve a student's comprehension in reading.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I have had clients come to me specifically for SAT prep. All of the clients that I have instructed, in this area, have done very well on their SATs. I stay current with changes and additions to the tests so I can best prepare my clients for the SATs.
Social Studies

Social Studies

As an elementary school teacher, my Social Studies curriculum was always heavily supplemented with my own curriculum, based on students' cultures and background. Not only is Social Studies a passion of mine, but it a strength too. Whether it is creating projects, or writing about a specific topic in History, Geography, or Social Studies, I can help. I have tremendous success with helping students build critical thinking skills, even as young as 6 years old. My first graders write two page essays, on historical topics.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I have my Masters in Science in Education; that I earned through Simmons College's department of Special Education - Moderate Disabilities. Upon completion of my Masters, I was a certified inclusion specialist with expertise in Autism Spectrum disorders, and Language Based Learning disorders such as Dyslexia. I have worked in a subseparate, or inclusion classroom, throughout my entire career. I am very familiar with the IEP process (Individual Education Plan), and the legal rights of families who have children with special needs. I also have a current Massachusetts teaching license in Moderate Special Needs preK-8.
Spelling

Spelling

As an experienced and accomplish spelling teacher, I am fully prepared to help any student that struggles with proper spelling. I use a multisensory approach. I also use the Wilson Reading program for my encoding and decoding instruction.
TOEFL

TOEFL

I have ample experience, helping non-native English speakers prepare for the TOEFL exam. I have never had a student, that I helped prepare for the exam, that did not pass. I help students with articulating sounds, understanding word usage, spelling, and reading comprehension, as well as many listening activities.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I have a passion for teaching vocabulary. I create my own worksheets, templates, and activities, to build vocabulary knowledge in all my tutees. Depending on the age of the student, and the needs of the student, Vocabulary can start simple, based off of phonetically spelled words, or go on to more complex language patterns, such as root words and base words. Students gain an understanding of suffixes in relation to their parts of speech. For example, 'tion' is always a noun ending.
Writing

Writing

I was an A+ writing student in college. My professors gave me A+ even though + were not part of the grading system. I am constantly being asked, by my peers, to look over their writing. Not only am I a writing teacher, but I am also in the process of becoming a published author. In addition to helping adults with their writing skills, my first graders have written two page essays as well.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Jada had an amazing tutoring session with my son, who has ADHD. Her ability to engage him online was remarkable, and he is genuinely excited for future sessions. Her tailored approach and interactive techniques kept him motivated and eager to learn. Her expertise in working with children with ADHD is evident, and I am confident in the progress he will make under her guidance. We appreciate her dedication and look forward to our next session.
