My favorite part of any day is when one of my students says something like "I get it" or "now it makes sense" or "and then when this goes here...". I enjoy being a classroom teacher but I also believe that not everyone understands everything the first time around and some concepts need more focused, individualized attention. I believe that students learn in different modalities so it's best to present lessons using kinesthetic, tactile, aural, and visual methods. When I tutored for an industry leader in the past, my students experienced a lot of success. I do not give up easily and if what I am trying is not making sense to a student, I will keep looking for ways that they will understand the material. It is not enough that students know things, they must be able to demonstrate knowledge and relate it to other subjects. It is not enough that they can read a selection, they must be able to answer questions about it and apply it to other situations. A lot of discussion during tutoring can help students look into learning with more depth.

My daughter loves her!

My daughter hates tutoring! But she is excited to work Rita again. She was able to talk to Ava in a creative and fun way. My daughter actually asked that if she HAS to be tutored she wants Rita.

Knowledgeable and friendly

Friday, she's helping with vocabulary; and how some words are Greek and Latin into english. Some of the words are separate and what to be looking for to understand the word better, so when I take the ASVAB. I have a better understanding in the test. When I was finished with the Tutor session, I was so excited to be learning something new. She's very patience.

Patience, Patience, Patience

Rita has done an excellent job of tutoring my daughter in elementary math. She was having trouble with common core structures and processes. Rita has made a big difference. Maddie has gone from failing grades to a high B average in just a few weeks. The change in her confidence and attitude toward math is outstanding. Great job Rita! Thank you!

Knowledgeable and patient

Rita provided material to assist me with my vocabulary and how to view literature. We went over a test and before she gave me the answers Rita asked me why I chose the answers and then we went over them. She is so patient. My mom and I like what she is doing so far.

Very Good Tutor.

Ms. Rita is always prepared and ready to help with homework, math games, and is a great fit for us. She has been working with Evan for about three weeks and we see his confidence building with each visit. Evan's attitude has also changed for the better at home and school. Thank you so much Ms. Rita!

Evan, 26 lessons with Rita

Very caring!

Rita is amazing. She helps my son with whatever he is struggling with and listens to all of my concerns. She pays attention to his habits and after only a few sessions knows his personality and the best ways to get him to focus!
