Patient and Knowledgeable Elementary and Middle School Tutor

If you are looking for a tutor with a plethora of knowledge and that loves helping young students achieve success, you have come to the right place. As your child's tutor, I will identify the areas where your child has strengths and weaknesses, and then work on where your child needs to improve. I live in the Springfield/Decatur area and teach 6th grade Language Arts. I am willing to tutor students from kindergarten up to high school.

I attended Illinois State University for my undergrad, and graduated with an Education degree in 2009. I recently completed my masters degree at Lewis University in August 2014 with a degree in Reading and Literacy. I am licensed in Elementary Education and Middle School Education with endorsements in Mathematics, Social Studies, and Reading Specialist (K-12 Reading). I worked for over 4 years as a Math Intervention Teacher with grades K-8, and primarily worked with students who struggle in math (i.e. under the 20th percentile nationally), and a few high achieving students for enrichment. I have also taught 2nd grade, middle school English Language Arts, and 4-6th grade math and social studies. Prior to starting teaching full time, I worked as a substitute teacher for nearly two years and also worked with children with Autism through Easter Seals.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
