Hi! My name is Cynthia, and I am a certified former teacher with experience teaching in a Head Start Program, Bilingual Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 8th grade American history and high school Spanish I. I am available to help students of all ages who may be in need of additional instruction or practice when they are feeling a bit challenged by their classes. I have the knowledge and experience necessary to help younger children master and retain the basic skills needed to meet grade level requirements. I think that it is important to establish a strong foundation in order to build and improve knowledge and confidence in learning. I am also very successful in helping second language learners grasp a better understanding of the English language through a variety of visual and auditory techniques and apply those skills with success. In addition, I work to help all students improve their study skills and develop good learning habits. My greatest joy comes in seeing the self confidence and pride that comes from being a successful student. If you think I can help you or your child, please contact me and we will work together to bring about the positive results you desire!

Featured review

Very helpful

Originally we sought out a tutor for my son as he was struggling with his school work in general. Lacking the confidence to complete his work, he began not doing it altogether. Cynthia has been instrumental in getting him back on track and helping him to have the confidence to keep trying. The extra one-on-one time, and having the opportunity to hear skills explained in a different way has improved his comprehension across the board, but especially in math. She has helped by pointing out ways that he can check himself, improve his organization, and practice the skills needed for mastery. His grades have improved dramatically, but more importantly...so has his confidence. After such a rough start to the year, (on top of years of struggling) hearing him tell me, "Mom, guess what! I'm one of the smart kids!" is priceless. He has surprised himself. I'm forever grateful for Cynthia's time and patience in helping him to get to this point. We will continue these lessons, as I believe that this time is essential for him to have a safe place to ask questions and have the individual attention and explanation of new concepts, along with the helpful organization and study skill reminders. Thank you, Cynthia!

Brandy, 18 lessons with Cynthia
Tutor responded:

Thank you, Brandy, for such a touching testimonial. It has been a fun and interesting journey that I have enjoyed sharing with your son. His intelligence is beyond belief and I love that he definitely thinks "outside of the box"! I'm so excited to learn that he is gaining confidence and realizing his potential. He has so much to offer and I want him to feel empowered to voice his thoughts and contribute in class. I am eager to see where his mind will take him with his newly found confidence and belief that he is capable of anything!

Great Tutor

Cynthia is an awesome tutor, she has helped my son become a better reader. She has helped build his confidence and he is now on the honor roll at school. I would recommend her to anyone.

Nicole, 85 lessons with Cynthia
Tutor responded:

Thank you Nicole for the recommendation. I knew we had made infinite progress the morning I received your text with the picture of him holding his certificate and that beaming smile of accomplishment on his face! He is incredibly observant and curious. I love watching the seed we have planted beginning to set roots and grow. As his confidence builds, I can't wait to see where he will go in his quest for knowledge!

Amazing Tutor

She is an amazing tutor. I have seen my daughter grow her reading so much with her. My daughter has built confidence, which was a main struggle for me. Cynthia is really patient, easy to reach, and devote to help. Thank you for all you have done for my daughter Cynthia.

Rosa, 80 lessons with Cynthia
Tutor responded:

Thank you Rosa, for allowing me this opportunity to assist your daughter. I love seeing the change that has come over her in just the short amount of time we have been working together. Each time we meet, it is quite evident she is practicing at home because she continues to grow and improve in her reading skills. I am equally excited by the eagerness and confidence with which she now tackles each book. She is becoming a reader!

Dedicated tutor

She is a very patient tutor. She is dedicated to help and teach. Thank you Cynthia for all you do.

Maria, 135 lessons with Cynthia
Tutor responded:

You are very welcome, Maria. It is such a joy to work with your son. I admire his willingness to improve his knowledge in all areas. He has such a great love of reading that is wonderful to see in any student, and like me, he laughs out loud at the funny parts in books! I encourage him to keep up the hard work and he will see continued success in all his classes.

Great tutor

Mrs. Cynthia was great help. She showed me a strategy to help me improve my comprehension level. So far, it has been very helpful. She also proofread my research paper and found incorrect subject and verb agreement in it. All of the strategies and input that was given to me I used it in studying for upcoming exams. Mrs. Cynthia has excellent teaching skills and I was able to understand her teaching style.
