Bio

Learning should be fun, not a hassle! I am an experienced teacher, specializing in the primary grades, although I have taught at the college and adult levels as well. A graduate of the National College of Education (now called National Louis University), in Evanston IL, teaching is my passion.

Learning should be fun, not a hassle! I am an experienced teacher, specializing in the primary grades, although I have taught at the college and adult levels as well. A graduate of the National College of Education (now called National Louis University), in Evanston IL, teaching is my passion.

In addition to a BA in Applied Behavioural Sciences, I have met all of the requirements for a B.S. in Elementary Education with the exception of Practice Teaching. I was too busy teaching to take four months off to practice teach. Additionally, I have more than 120 Hours at the Mayerson Academy in Cincinnati where I focused on reading, phonics, and the other primary grade subjects and many of the current techniques for teaching them.

Teaching the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic (and, yes, even penmanship) should not be done to the tune of the hickory stick, but with love, patience, and understanding. I offer your child an emotionally safe environment in which to learn and grow. Whether you want to supplement the classroom experience or provide the full home-schooling experience in 2 -3 hours per day, look no further.

Caring, creative, and knowledgeable

Cindy has been working with our 11-year-old son for several months on his reading, writing, and comprehension. She always designs creative lessons that focus on specific skills for that session. She is also very kind and genuinely interested in helping him grow as a student. She selected a great novel that he can’t wait to read each week and creates writing assignments that cater to his interests. She is also very flexible with scheduling and usually goes over the one-hour tutoring session to provide additional instruction. Overall, Cindy is a great tutor and we are thankful to have found her!

Great, Partient and Experienced Tutor

Cindy has been working with my daughter on writing and reading for 2 months now. She is a super patient and experienced tutor. She pays attention to many details and is always well-prepared with teaching materials. Every minute of the class worth the money. We cannot be happier with her!

Very Qualified and Experienced Teacher

Our daughter has had several sessions with Ms. Cindy. We find her to be very patient and thorough in explaining specifics of English and Math. She is very helpful in working with her on her comprehension issues. We have seen definite improvement since we've started with Ms. Cindy. We look forward to working with her for a long time to come.

An Extraordinary Tutor!

It is my first time having a tutor for my child, who was on the verge of being held back. Cindy is truly an amazing gem! She not only is improving his reading and writing so far, but is improving his confidence and interest in the English subject! Cindy is a kind and caring person, with the passion to help kids in need, and my son loves her personality!

Tracy-Han, 41 lessons with Cindy

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Cindy has been tutoring my 3 and a half year old for almost two months. Since my daughter is quite young Cindy has to keep her engaged and focused as a 3 year old can have a shoart attention span. She does a good job of making sure she completes pages in her workbook along with some singing and book reading to break it up and keep it fun.

Jasleen, 103 lessons with Cindy

Knowledgeable and patient

This is my daughter's second lesson with Cindy for 5th grade math and the lessons have been very productive thus far. My daughter is gaining more confidence as she builds her math skills.
