Undergrad college paper help available! Adult tutoring available. ESL tutoring available for Spanish speakers.
I specialize in teaching reading, writing, vocabulary, articulation, phonics, spelling, grammar and comprehension, but I can also teach elementary math. I have a down to earth, relatable, friendly style, but I am able to cover a lot of ground during a session if the student is motivated to learn. I use a variety of curriculum that meets core standards as well as creating some of my own. I am familiar with a range of approaches when it comes to reading, but I primarily use whatever the student responds to the most. I am dependable and hard-working and passionate about teaching! My ideal student is between 3rd and 10th grade or an adult ESL student. I currently offer online classes for individual students and group classes in person for local students. I also work with dyslexic students using a blend of approaches including Lindamood Bell.

I attended college in my 30's and graduated at the top of my class with a 3.89 GPA from Regent University with a BS in Psychology. I have reviewed and advised other college level students on their papers. I have been a tutor on WyzAnt since late 2018, and prior to that, a professional reading and spelling tutor. While I am not certified in any specific method to literacy, I am familiar with various approaches to literacy and use elements of all of these to help my students learn and progress in the most multi-sensory way possible. I have worked with students from preschool through adult. My favorite tutoring subjects are reading and phonics! Most recently, I worked through Americorps as a reading tutor for kindergarten through 3rd grade at a local elementary school. I was also a substitute teacher from 2022 to 2024 in multiple schools and in various districts working with every age group from K to 12 and with every type of student.

Approved Subjects

Bible Studies

Bible Studies

I attended a Christian school from preschool to 8th grade. I have taught Bible school, Children's Church, Sunday School, Youth and Bible Studies. I have taught a variety of age levels including senior citizens. I have also taken Bible classes at the college level, including: A Survey of the Old Testament, and A Survey of the New Testament.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I teach primarily in the elementary grades, but am licensed to sub for grades K-12. This is my second year subbing, and I sub in several different school districts in mulitple schools throughout the county in which I am licensed. I am familiar with Core standards. I was also previously a licensed foster parent and helped my kids with their math.
English

English

My first language is English, and I took honors level courses throughout elementary junior high and High School. I have been a professional tutor in this subject and worked with all types of students including those with special needs.
Reading

Reading

I have been a professional reading tutor since 2018 and an amateur reading tutor since I was in the 4th grade! I have self-studied Lindamood Bell, Orton Gillingham and Heggerty approaches and use elements of all of them when working with students.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Ever since I was a child, I have exercised my vocabulary skills. We played Scrabble as a fierce competition and went to the library on a weekly basis. In junior high, I enjoyed competing with my Dad on the Reader's Digest vocabulary quizzes and reading product labels just to see if I could pronounce them. In high school, I took two years of Latin and asked for medical journals for Christmas! I love words, and I can help your student build his or her vocabulary!
Writing

Writing

I took advanced writing courses in high school. In college, I scored 100% on most of my papers. I have been tutoring professionally in this area since 2018 and on an amateur level since 2012. I have the ability to break down the essay question and get at the root of what the professor/teacher wants to see. I can help you organize your paper with a great flow and avoid complicated, confusing or redundant papers.

Experienced and patient tutor.

I was initially on the fence about having an online tutor for my 3rd grader thinking in person would probably be more beneficial. Regardless, I took a chance with Naomi based on the amazing reviews she had and her experience tutoring children my age along with her expertise in reading. Although we’ve only had two lessons with her, she has quickly identified where my son needs help and has built lessons around that. I feel like our entire hour with her is always well spent and full of great information. She has definitely taught me a thing or two as well !

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your son is such a delight and I love how involved you both are in this process. It is my pleasure to be able to work with him and watch him grow.

Such an exceptional tutor!

Even after just a few lessons, I must say that the patience displayed with our son is truly remarkable. He eagerly awaits his lessons, signing himself in early to ensure his spot. Naomi has been an excellent instructor, and we eagerly anticipate the remarkable progress our son will make in the coming sessions!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad that he is enjoying his sessions. I also enjoy them! I look forward to seeing his sweet smile. He makes me laugh so much when he implies what I say is outrageous! LOL! We have a lot of fun together, and he catches on very quickly!

Great teacher, patient and insightful

Naomi is a delightful and skilled tutor. She is patient and gets to know the student. She gives praise when deserved and correction when needed. We would recommend her to other parents/students who need extra help in reading/spelling and decoding.
