Credentialed Elementary Teacher | 10 Years of Classroom Experienc

Cassidi L.

I'm a California credentialed elementary teacher with 10 years of classroom teaching experience, 3 years of tutoring experience, and a master's degree in English Language Learning from Western Governors University (WGU).

Throughout my teaching career, I've worked with elementary students in both classroom and one-on-one settings, helping them develop foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. My experience includes eight years as a classroom teacher and two years as a substitute teacher, as well as three years providing tutoring services.

I believe effective tutoring starts with understanding how each student learns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor instruction to students' individual strengths, needs, and academic goals. I focus on identifying gaps in understanding, breaking down challenging concepts, and providing opportunities for guided practice and immediate feedback.

In reading, I support students with foundational literacy skills, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. In writing, I help students develop their ideas, strengthen sentence structure, and improve grammar, spelling, and organization. In mathematics, I emphasize conceptual understanding, problem-solving strategies, and building confidence with foundational skills.

I tailor each tutoring session to the student's individual needs, whether that means helping with homework, reviewing classroom concepts, or strengthening foundational skills. My goal is to help students build confidence and become more independent learners.

I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their progress. I look forward to helping your child grow as a learner!
