About Teri


Bio

Need some extra help? We've got this!

I have been a teacher or tutor for over 20 years now. As a teacher, I taught mostly bilingual 4th grade, but as a tutor, I've worked with all ages. I have a B.A. in Elementary Education, a minor in Spanish, and a M.S. in Literacy.

My favorite part of teaching has been that one-to-one and small group connection -- tailoring instruction to individual needs -- now this is what I love best about tutoring!

I love travel, culture, and helping others...

I love travel, culture, and helping others succeed. I'm remote myself, so we can meet online through Wyzant or Zoom, and let's get your child where they need to be!

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I have been an elementary school teacher for 9 years and have worked with students with ADD, ADHD, and both. I believe tutoring is the best option to help these special students improve academically because they benefit the most from the focus of one-on-one attention and instruction.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a B.A. in Elementary Education (K-8), a minor in Spanish , and an M.S. in Literacy. I've been teaching or tutoring for over 20 years.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

With 10 years elementary teaching experience and over 10 years tutoring experience, I'd love to help you tackle that challenging math! Let's break it down together so you can simplify, understand and apply. You've got this!
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

Hello! If you are looking for some English help, I'd love to be your guide. The majority of my teaching experience has been in bilingual/ESL education. As a teacher and tutor I've worked many years with 4th grade bilingual students, a few years as a teacher for adult ESL classes, and a few years as a personal tutor for Adult English language students. My second language is Spanish, which has been helpful for native Spanish speakers learning English, as well as giving me personal insight into learning a second language, that I am able to incorporate into my teaching.
Reading

Reading

I have a Masters in Literacy, and this subject has been one of my favorite parts of teaching. I am an avid reader, and I bring this energy to my work with students. My favorite part of the teaching day has been guided reading instruction, in which I introduce a book, assess a student's strengths and needs, and focus on a particular skill with that student.
Spanish

Spanish

I taught bilingual students in the Valley View School district for 9 years and taught Spanish to the 2nd- through 8th-graders at an area school for one year. I've tutored Spanish in various grades and particularly enjoy working with elementary and middle school students.
Writing

Writing

Writing is my all-time favorite subject -- and I love writing myself! I've written for moneybasicsu.com, lifehack.org, healthtoday.com, the Enterprise/Bugle, Writer Access, and more! My goal in writing to is draw on students' interests to help make writing an enjoyable experience. The best writing is inspired writing! For younger students, I have experience with Step Up to Writing to help with writing structure. I enjoy conferencing with students to help them develop their own sense of their writing and what strengths and needs they have. I also love grammar, spelling, and proofreading in general!

Great tutor

Teri is an excellent Spanish teacher, she has a great command of the language and is kind and patient. I improved a lot with her help. I highly recommend her.

Julia, 4 lessons with Teri

Calm and Proficient

Teri was prompt and prepared. She was able to get my son to engage and went over quite a bit of material in one hour. We’re very happy to have found her.

Julie, 7 lessons with Teri

Knowledgeable, approachable and patient tutor.

My daughter loves Teri. She has an innate talent for making learning fun and engaging. Her lessons are creative and interactive, incorporating educational games, and storytelling to convey important concepts. She has a knack for turning seemingly mundane subjects into exciting adventures in knowledge. I look forward to more lessons in the future.

Teri really helps my daughter in Spanish

Teri is a good teacher. We were newly moved from a school district without Spanish education, and my daughter's new 3rd grade curriculum has a 3rd grade Spanish. We only had two weeks to catch up the progress, and we made it because of Teri.

Yuxuan, 13 lessons with Teri

Seeing improvements in daughter's writing

After only a few lessons, I am definitely seeing improvements in how my third grader is structuring her writing and topics. Teri is great and she is very patient. Teri is very organized in her approach and how to relate strategies that are tailored to skill level.

Teri is great with our 7 yr old!

Teri is tutoring our 7 yr old in reading. Teri is always on time and organized with a plan. Our child looks forward to the sessions and we can see her improvement already!

Brad, 318 lessons with Teri

Teri is fantastic!

We needed to find a tutor to help my husband with his business written and communication skills, and screening the right tutor already proved challenging. However, upon reaching out to Teri she was already a step above the rest. She answered questions immediately and precisely. We scheduled a meet & greet a couple of days after and that went smoothly. She has a very friendly and easy going personality, it’s very easy to feel comfortable with her. She’s also very flexible and adaptable when needed. If my children needs any assistance with their schoolwork Teri will be our go to tutor as well. Thanks Teri!!

Knowledgable, patient and considerate.

Teri is tutoring my child in Math. She is teaching her math in a way that my child likes doing these lessons with her. The timing schedule made all the difference. Teri is a very considerate teacher and is very patient while teaching.
