Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Elementary (K-6th)
I hold elementary teaching credentials in the states of California, Oregon and Montana. I have 3 years experience as a substitute teacher at the elementary level, 2 years experience as a tutor in that level and 5 years volunteering and/or student teaching in elementary grades. I also taught full time for 1 year in the second grade.
Phonics
As an elementary teacher credentialed in the state of California, I was required to take the RICA (Reading Instruction Competence Assessment) test, which I passed. This test covers all areas of teaching reaching skills, including phonics and phonemic awareness. Before my teacher preparation program allowed me to take this test I was required to do a case study of a student in my student teaching placement where I diagnosed his needs and developed and implemented lessons to meet those needs. Phonics and Phonemic Awareness were his strongest needs and he improved in both areas.
