About Gretel


Bio

My college degree is in history and my minor was English. My graduate studies concentrated on history, but then I decided to become a teacher instead of a professor, so I took the requisite education courses for my professional certification. I am certified in Social Studies 6-12 and English 6-12, as well as Humanities K-12, Gifted, and ESE.
I have taught over 22 years including two years as a fifth grade teacher in a private school, eight years in a public high school, and twelve years in a...

My college degree is in history and my minor was English. My graduate studies concentrated on history, but then I decided to become a teacher instead of a professor, so I took the requisite education courses for my professional certification. I am certified in Social Studies 6-12 and English 6-12, as well as Humanities K-12, Gifted, and ESE.
I have taught over 22 years including two years as a fifth grade teacher in a private school, eight years in a public high school, and twelve years in a public middle school. I am now back to teaching high school and new to the Marion County/Citrus County area.
I have tutored students of every age and intellectual ability. It is my pleasure to help them succeed and find joy in learning. Whether at home or in the classroom, my goal is to establish a rapport and figure out their strengths, needs, and learning style. My goal is to make learning enjoyable so it can also be more productive.

Approved Subjects

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I taught mathematics during my tenure as a fifth grade teacher. I also tutored a sixth grade student in math when I was a college student, and more recently, I helped my own children and my middle school students practice mathematical concepts.
Reading

Reading

I have taught language arts at both the middle and high school level, and also briefly at the upper elementary level. My experience had included gifted students and those who have needed remediation to pass the state reading test. I have also taught speech and debate. In the realm of tutoring, I have worked with students of all levels, from elementary to college, on their writing skills and reading aptitudes.
Social Studies

Social Studies

My college major and post-graduate focus was on history. Additionally, I am certified in social studies 6-12 and have taught all levels of social studies within those grades. I was always chosen as part of the civics boot camp at the middle school where I taught.
Spanish

Spanish

I am certified in multiple subjects and have taught for over twenty years. However, when it comes to Spanish, my expertise comes in the form of it having been the first language I spoke. I did also teach Spanish to my fifth grade students during my two-year tenure at a private school.
Spelling

Spelling

My experience teaching language arts at the middle and high school level make it possible for me to teach all the skills that are subsets of language—such as spelling. Additionally, the professional training ive taken to recertify has included multiple courses in phonics, which will also be beneficial in tutoring spelling.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

As a language arts teacher, vocabulary is definitely part of the curriculum. Additionally, when I taught speech & debate during my twelve year tenure at a public middle school, I incorporated SAT-level vocabulary instruction into the curriculum.
