Hello! I’m Robert, a patient and experienced tutor with over 15 years of classroom teaching and intervention experience. I specialize in Reading, Study Skills, Vocabulary, Writing, Handwriting, and Spelling, and I have extensive expertise supporting students with IEPs, dyslexia, autism spectrum needs, and unique learning styles. My background includes serving as a 6th Grade Homeroom Teacher, a Breakthrough Intervention Teacher, and a literacy instructor using programs such as Barton and Heggerty, along with teaching multiple core subjects across grade levels.

I provide calm, structured, confidence-building instruction that helps students make meaningful progress and truly understand what they’re learning. Whether your child needs support in reading comprehension, writing organization, vocabulary growth, study skills, spelling patterns, or handwriting fluency, I tailor each session to their individual needs. I believe every student deserves guidance that makes learning clear, achievable, and encouraging — and I’m committed to helping each learner feel capable and successful.

Approved Subjects

Grammar

Grammar

I bring extensive experience teaching and remediating grammar skills across grades K–6, including direct instruction in sentence structure, parts of speech, usage, and conventions through both whole-class lessons and targeted small-group interventions. My work teaching 6th- and 7th-grade Creative Writing and Reading Intervention required precise, explicit instruction in syntax, clause functions, and advanced grammatical reasoning to strengthen students’ written expression. I have also supported students with diverse learning profiles—including those with language-based learning differences—by breaking down grammatical concepts into clear, sequential steps aligned with best practices in structured literacy. My approach blends academic standards with practical strategies that help students internalize grammar rules and apply them confidently to both writing and reading tasks.
Handwriting

Handwriting

I have worked with students from early childhood through middle school to improve handwriting, develop consistent letter formation, and strengthen fine-motor writing skills. My background includes supporting learners who struggle with spacing, alignment, reversals, and legibility, especially students with unique learning needs or motor challenges. I use a calm, step-by-step approach that helps students build confidence and comfort while writing. My goal is to make handwriting clear, steady, and efficient so students can focus more on expressing their ideas.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I have extensive classroom experience teaching multiple core subjects, including Reading, Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Spelling, and Writing, which makes me well-equipped to support homeschool students across a wide range of academic needs. As a 6th Grade Homeroom Teacher and former Breakthrough Intervention Teacher, I’m skilled at adapting instruction for students with diverse learning profiles, including those with IEPs, dyslexia, autism spectrum needs, and unique learning styles. I create structured, engaging lessons that help students stay on track, build confidence, and develop strong study routines at home. My approach blends clear instruction with warmth and patience, making homeschool learning both effective and enjoyable.
Reading

Reading

I have extensive experience teaching and supporting reading development across multiple grade levels, including direct instruction in phonics, fluency, comprehension, and reading interventions. As an Intervention Teacher, I provided daily reading support using evidence-based programs such as Barton and Heggerty, working closely with students with dyslexia, IEPs, and unique learning needs. I have also taught reading as a 6th Grade Homeroom Teacher as well as supported literacy growth in one-on-one and small-group settings for over 15 years. My approach is patient, structured, and tailored to help each student become a confident, capable reader.
Spelling

Spelling

I have extensive experience teaching spelling through structured, phonics-based instruction that helps students understand patterns rather than rely on memorization. As an intervention specialist, I worked closely with students who struggle with decoding, encoding, and applying spelling rules, including learners with dyslexia and IEPs. I focus on building foundational skills such as sound-symbol relationships, syllable types, and common spelling patterns to create long-lasting improvement. My approach is clear, supportive, and tailored to each student, helping them become more confident and accurate spellers.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have extensive experience helping students develop effective study habits, organizational systems, and learning routines that support long-term academic success. As both a classroom teacher and an intervention specialist, I have worked closely with students who struggle with time management, executive functioning, and staying focused, providing strategies tailored to their individual needs. My background includes guiding students in planning, note-taking, test preparation, and breaking assignments into manageable steps. I teach study skills in a calm, supportive way that helps learners become more confident, independent, and capable.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I have strong experience teaching vocabulary as part of comprehensive literacy instruction across multiple grade levels, including direct work with students who benefit from structured, explicit word-learning strategies. Throughout my roles as a classroom teacher and intervention specialist, I have taught students how to use context clues, prefixes, suffixes, root words, and word relationships to expand their vocabulary meaningfully. My instruction focuses on helping learners apply new vocabulary in reading, writing, and everyday communication for deeper understanding and retention. I provide patient, clear guidance that supports both struggling and advanced learners in building confident, versatile vocabulary skills.
Writing

Writing

I have taught writing across multiple grade levels, including creative writing, essay writing, paragraph structure, and sentence development. My experience includes supporting students in organizing their thoughts, strengthening grammar and mechanics, and developing a clear and confident writing voice. As an intervention teacher and classroom instructor, I have helped students of all learning styles—including those with IEPs and dyslexia—approach writing with clarity and reduced stress. I provide gentle, structured guidance that helps students become stronger, more expressive, and more capable writers.
