Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my profession. I truly hope that we will be able to work together to meet your tutoring needs.

I have been working with children and adults of all ages as a tutor for over 10 years. I have tutored children as young as four, all the way up to adult-aged learners who have needed assistance with their English speaking and writing skills. I believe in being very patient as a teacher and feel it is important to be firm, yet kind, in order to help students attain success.

My strengths, in an academic sense, are centered around reading, writing, public speaking, phonics and vocabulary. I possess teaching certification in all subjects grades K-8 with a focus in Reading and Writing. I have been a teacher in various settings, but very much enjoy working one-on-one or in small groups because of the ability to really connect with the students and pinpoint any trouble areas for improvement. I have taught children with special needs (IEPS) as well as ESL students in achieving personalized goals.

I am willing to travel to the student's home and am flexible with scheduling. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to working with you.
