I have written two published books on career development for special needs, completed an accredited life coaching program and certificates in career development. It is my hope to offer the opportunity for finding purpose in every life.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I have attended graduate school for my master's and doctorate. In the course of many years of tutoring and mentoring I have assisted students in choice of college majors, encouraged them to visit campuses to see if they are a good fit and helped with applications to top schools such as Yale and Swarthmore. I am qualified to aid in scholarship applications and take the anxiety out of the process of transitioning to top schools.

I hold a degree in nutrition as well as 6.5 years experience in hospital dietary working in all areas of limited diets. I have been a top cook in two restaurants where my cuisine had folks lined up out the door. I will help you adapt your prescribed diet into delicious meals that are satisfying and healthful.

English

English expression is necessary for the well educated student to do well in their academic career in the U.S. I have a methodical program to teach mastery in all aspects of language and I insist on good skills so that each student can become a success.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have taught SAT writing, reading, vocabulary skills to students where English is a second language. They have scored well enough to handle college curriculum well and get degrees. I have also been an international adjunct professor for a seminary and have proofread and assisted students to write complex Theological papers.
Grammar

Grammar

In writing papers, grammar is an indication of having a good solid education. I am teaching this subject so that each student can write and proofread at all levels in their studies. This is in order to allow students to continue through a graduate level class and have confidence in their capabilities.
Phonics

Phonics

I have studied Slingerland Method, completed the education courses in Reading at San Francisco State University and have also used Score as a basis for beginning reading with students for many years. I have seen my young students jump into literacy with my experience. When I am allowed to introduce them at a young age they become excellent students and spellers.
Proofreading

Proofreading

It is so important for a student to have ability to edit a paper well. It can mean the difference between them receiving a graduate degree or not. I encourage students to write clearly and in a focused manner with background in a method for correcting spelling, punctuation, verb tenses and verb agreement. I make it interesting and challenging.
Reading

Reading

The joy of reading enhances lifelong learning. Teaching an individual to comprehend, draw inferences and learn a subject can be the greatest freedom in the world because it can open the world to each student. I am a lifelong learner and my enthusiasm, experience and proven methods can motivate a foundation of success for each student.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I love to introduce children and adults to the joy of word mastery. I believe that this is a life-long skill that we can always challenge ourselves with and it increases comprehension and mastery of subjects. This can enhance written and spoken conversation and engagement. I work in all modalities to increase word mastery.
Writing

Writing

Writing a publishable paper in an area of experience is a gift to the world. I like to encourage all my students to tap into their experiences and write a focused and advanced paper. I have worked in this area with those with disabilities and others throughout the spectrum to encourage competency and pleasure in expressing the written word.

Excellent tutor

Judith Q has been tutoring my daughter in English for a few months. She is an excellent tutor. Judith is well organized. She knows how to handle the kids with the right mix of encouragement and firmness. Finally she cares! My kid is enjoying the tutoring.

Professional, Patient, And Knowledgeable Tutor

Judith is very professional in her approach, from the evaluation portion, lesson planning, to the actual tutoring. My daughter has only had one session with her so far, but she said that she had already learned a lot.

PAMELA, 5 lessons with Judith

Knowledgeable, Compassionate, and Creative Tutor

Judith brings wealth of knowledge and ability in working with my 3rd grade daughter in developing her reading, spelling, and math skills. She has great enthusiasm and makes the tutoring sessions fun. She has also been very creative in assisting our daughter across subjects- lots of good energy.

Wonderful Tutor!

Judy is a wonderful and patient tutor. We've had the great pleasure of having Judy as our daughter's SSAT Tutor for six months. Judy does not only teach the topics covered on the test and what test taking strategies may be assessed for each section of the exam; she also exposed our daughter to a much deeper level of understanding of reading and comprehension. And, our daughter just received the 99th percentile on her SSAT! I would recommend her services to anyone!

Yuna, 16 lessons with Judith

Great tutor!

Judy has been a wonderful math tutor for my 5th grader for more than eight months. Before he started tutoring with Judy, my child thought he was just bad at math. Now he has a positive outlook about math and it shows in his grades. Judy lets him work at his own pace and makes sure he understands a concept before moving on to the next one. Thank you Judy!

Tutor responded:

It is such a pleasure to work with him.

Very disturbing situation

I originally gave her a 4star rating she called me very angry telling me that I ruined her 5star rating and that because of that she was dropping me. She was very rude and was very concerned about me doing a background check. She hung up on me and I would think twice about hiring her.

Excellent, patient and kind!

Judith has been excellent in working with my 8 year old son! Although in 3rd grade, he was about at a 1st grade level in math. Within weeks, Judith had him confidently solving multiplication problems. From a little boy who a little over a month ago was saying, "I'm not good in math," his self esteem is now through the roof. Addition problems appear easy because Judith helped quickly develop a solid foundation and breaks the sessions down into easily digestible chunks. We love Judith and hope she will continue to be an advocate in our son's education for a long time to come.

Wonderful Tutor!

My 15-year-old daughter enjoys Judy as her tutor. So far she has had around 3 sessions. Judy has taught her reading techniques that have helped a lot. Judy is a very motivating and enthusiastic tutor and pushes my daughter to do better. While reading comprehension is the main subject she needs help with, Judy also helps her with other homework (like biology and math). Judy is a wonderful person and loves to tutor kids.
