I have a Bachelor's degree in elementary education K-6, and my Pennsylvania Instructional I certificate. I have taught 1st grade as a student teacher, preschool for 3 years, 4th grade for 4 years, kindergarten virtually during Covid-19, second grade, third grade, and have tutored every subject from preschool through 6th grade. I am now a full-time tutor! I offer interactive virtual sessions and have plenty of experience to keep them engaging!

I also offer free 15 minute consultations before scheduling lessons. You can also take a look at my approved subjects through Wyzant. I look forward to making progress together!

Wonderful tutor!

Bethany helped our 5th grader with math and english. She was so kind, helpful and just the right amount of firm with our daughter. She kept her on track while still having fun and learning. I highly recommended her!!

Thank you so much, Trishalee! It has been a pleasure working with your daughter!

Knowledgeable, kind and patient tutor!

My daughter has always struggled to open up to others, and we were worried about her willingness to have a tutor. However, Bethany immediately brought a warm and inviting energy that turned my daughter's homework into a fun experience. It's incredible to see my daughter engaged and excited about tutoring now. I truly feel grateful for wonderful tutors like Ms. Bethany who can make such a positive impact!

Excellent teacher

I have ask Bethany for help on several assignments for my grad school program. Her extensive knowledge and understanding of being a teacher and her support has helped me immensely. She has helped me improve my writing, planning and critical thinking skills providing valuable insights into educational practices and theories directly related to my coursework. Her strong understanding of planning & implementing lesson plans has given me the opportunity to understand difficult concepts and understand how to construct and carry out lessons. After lessons with Bethany I have learned value able skills and knowledge to effectively complete my grad school assignments.

Recommendation for Bethany as an English Teacher

Bethany teaches my kids English and does an excellent job. My kids really like her, and she tailors her teaching strategies to suit different grade levels. She's always punctual and has never canceled a class.

Thank you so much, Meymuna! Tutoring your kids in English is delightful!

Wonderful tutor - super patient and adaptive

Bethany is working with my 2nd grade daughter. Serena is an avid learner, but of course it can be hard to keep a kid engaged over Zoom. Bethany is EXCELLENT with her. Bethany is very flexible - she's able to change up the material to keep Serena interested and engaged. She moves between subjects smoothly and goes deeply into each - it's not just practicing reading but digging into the meaning behind the words and sentences. We have been very happy with Betheny for my daughter and I am looking forward to continuing with her.

Knowledgeable and experienced tutor.

Super grateful to have started working with Bethany! She has an only our first assessment and session showing me that our daughter is not only capable but interested in learning and I cannot wait to see the growth over the next weeks and months! So grateful that we have had this opportunity to work together.
