I have tutored students in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade in reading, math, language, vocabulary, speech, and phonics. My online tutoring has included working with preschool level students ages 4.5 yrs and up, engaging them in conversation and learning their alphabet. I have helped first, second, and third graders online learn to spell and read, using grade level phonics lessons and or oral reading or listening and answering questions about a passage. My in person tutoring for preschool through fifth grade level students gave me the experience so that I can modify my tutoring online to meet the needs of students.
I have been a Speech-Language Teacher, with experience teaching all qualified students in articulation or speech therapy. This year, 2020-2021, I hope to teach articulation skills online, beginning with teaching sounds in isolation as students qualify as candidates for learning specific sounds in isolation, syllables, then words. As the students who need the articulation therapy succeed in online therapy, I will keep helping them as they graduate up from learning the sounds in isolation, syllables, words, phrases, and sentences. I can help students on the conversational level too. If parents have the students' Individualized Education Plan with the articulation testing or articulation goals for the upcoming school year, I can target the sounds in their goals and they can see how well they can succeed online with me providing the modeling and feedback and keeping the percentage of accuracy as they progress.
I also plan to tutor Phonics grade levels first grade through third grade.
I can tutor some kindergarten students if they can read small kindergarten level paragraphs and answer reading questions.

Before tutoring for students met through this site, my tutoring experience included being a Bright Futures Tutor at Marion School District in SC, and before that helping with an after school program as a certified tutor of Bur

All reviews listened patient tutor helped my son patient

Patient & Upbeat

Tammy has been working with my 6 yr old daughter. It’s been a great experience thus far. My daughter is very comfortable with her and Tammy has been attentive to her needs as well as accommodating with the lessons she prepares for her.

Suzan, 15 lessons with Tammy

Great First lesson!

The first lesson went very well. She is patient with my daughter and has her set up on a good plan to help with her reading.

Amber, 23 lessons with Tammy

Patient and kind

My son likes Tammy as his teacher. He feels very comfortable speaking with her and taking class with her because she stays patient and kind. She also tries to make it interesting and fun for him especially since hes 5 years old with short attention span. He is usually shy about speaking but she has been able to keep him willing to cooperate and learn from her. Glad to have found her!

Rabiah, 7 lessons with Tammy

Great first lesson!

My daughters really enjoyed their first lesson with Tammy. It was all they talked about after she left and today (the day after) I arrived home from work to find them working on their homework assignments. Tammy listened very carefully to the girls attempts at reading and did a great job motivating them to work just a little bit harder on the tougher words and it was just that motivation that I was looking for in a teacher. We are looking forward to the next lesson!
