Experienced and patient tutor

I have tutored both children and adults in various subjects such as Accounting, Mathematics, Beginning Reading and Phonics for many years.

My tutoring clients tell me that I do a good job of explaining things to them in a way that makes sense. I individualize instruction according to the student's needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I can work with your materials, and in many subjects, I have helpful materials of my own.

I have a passion for the Hebrew language, and have studied both Modern Israeli Hebrew (2 years at University) and Biblical Hebrew (on my own at home). Overall, I have 20 semester hours of college credit in Modern Hebrew.

I have successfully taught several children to read from the very beginning. I understand systematic synthetic phonics and how important it is in teaching children to read. I have an excellent understanding of Math, and I am good at explaining things in simple ways.

I have college credit in Child Psychology and Human Growth and Development. I taught my first child to read with a phonics approach, and he was reading by the age of three and a half years. I tutored a second-grader in Reading using a phonics approach and his mother reported how surprised she was at the big words he could read out of the newspaper.

I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. I have always loved working with numbers, and I am good with spreadsheets. I understand double-entry bookkeeping and other important principles of Accounting.

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals. You never know how helpful a tutor can be until you try one. Try me, you won't be disappointed.
