One-to-one tutoring is an exceptional research-based strategy that can have a positive impact on a student's success in school. We'll start with your strengths and tailor an individualized program just for your needs. I believe in a hands-on approach to teaching and I can show you how to learn through my modeling of a skill and your practicing the skills. Whether it's phonics, oral language, comprehension, or writing I will help you achieve your goals.

Study Skills

Study Skills

Study skills are such a vital part of learning. Some people have an intrinsic motivation and just know what to do; however, everyone can be trained in how to study. As a Literacy Coach, it was my job to train teachers in how to teach those skills and also my role to go into classrooms and support their teaching of study skills. Taking notes, active listening and flashcards are three of many different ways to remember information.
