About Rita


Bio

Do you have a reluctant reader or writer? I have had enormous success working with students. Writing is one of the 2 subject areas that cause shutdown (the second one is math). Please contact me so that we can talk about the individual needs of your child. Helping "take the pressure off" can allow students, young and older, to thrive. The frontal lobes begin working when fear and anxiety is reduced. Let's create an emotionally safe environment for your student. Success will follow!

Do you have a reluctant reader or writer? I have had enormous success working with students. Writing is one of the 2 subject areas that cause shutdown (the second one is math).

The frontal lobes begin working when fear and anxiety is reduced. Let's create an emotionally safe environment for your student. Success will follow!
I have extensive experience tutoring pre-K through college/adult students (over 20 years). I homeschooled my daughter before she went to UC Berkeley and now homeschool my grandchildren. I founded and was Executive Director of a public school charter and worked as a charter teacher for over 15 years. My favorite tutoring experiences are teaching a small child to read and (at the other end of the spectrum) helping college students with their courses that involve writing research papers, assignments, and/or essays! I have taught dozens of pre-school children to read & have coached/tutored dozens of college students through a myriad of course assignments. Although I am working remotely now, I will consider in person when needed. We can create a covid-safe environment!
My experience with the LearningSuccess Institute in CA makes me unique. I have conducted workshops, spoken at many conventions on teaching to a child's unique learning style, and offered countless 1:1 consultations to parents who want to know more about how their children learn and how to provide success. It sounds intuitive, but because our society puts such pressure on parents and students, having a professional give you that permission to take the pressure off of yourself and your child makes a huge difference. Parents whom I consult are ever grateful for this approach to tutoring and coaching.

Do you like discounts? I offer them. I am very willing to work within a budget. I am eager to speak with you about how I can meet your child's needs. Please connect with me so tha

Very helpful

Rita was very timely when session was scheduled with Jada. Jada enjoyed the session with Rita and looking for to future session. Rita heard the concerns Jada had and guided Jada and helped clear things up with essays and writing.
