- Jessye, Celina, TX on 12/24/14Ms. Louann was so wonderful with our daughter. Our first grader was struggling with learning to read and with her confidence. Ms. Louann worked very well with her and helped her gain the confidence she needed to keep working hard!
Thanks Ms. Louann!
"Great Teacher"
- Henry, Dallas, TX on 5/21/14Ms. O. is a great teacher who helped our son who had difficulty in reading. She worked with him patiently and this increased his fluency and comprehension. I would recommend her to anyone with a child that needs help with reading.
"Really Built Confidence in My Son!"
- Eddie, Frisco, TX on 4/9/14Louann has really brought the confidence out in my son. Before we began using Louann, our son was very unsure of his answers and was having a tough time with his alphabet. We knew this would be a challenge if we didn't get him help before he started kindergarten. My son now quickly raises his hand to answer in class and is super confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend Louann!
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.
ADHD
Students with this disorder need structure, consistency, and a variety of activities to keep them focused on their learning. I have worked with these students for over 30 years in grades k-5.
Dyslexia
Students with this disorder need structure, consistency and a multi-sensory approach to learning. I have worked with these students for over 30 years in k-5 small group or one-on-one setting.
Elementary (K-6th)
I have worked with students in k-5 for over 30 years. I was a Resource teacher with a small group or one-on-one setting who needed extra help.
Elementary Math
Math should be a fun learning experience. I use different manipulatives, interesting worksheets, and iPad apps to help the child understand the different math concepts. Each child needs to have a different method because no two children are alike in their learning style.
ESL/ESOL
I have an ESL certificate from Texas.
Phonics
I have taught phonics for over 30 years in a small group or one-on-one setting for students k-5. This is important to becoming a proficient reader.
Reading
I have taught reading to all levels for over 30 years. I love to read and try to instill that love in my students. I give a pre-test to determine strengths and weaknesses and then teach from there. No two plans are the same! I love working with children and helping them feel successful and improving their self esteem!
Special Needs
I have worked with students with special needs for over 30 years in a Resource/Special Education setting of small groups or one-on-one in k-5.
Study Skills
I have worked for over 30 years with students who needed extra help in k-5. Study skills are important for a student to be successful.
Vocabulary
I have taught vocabulary at all elementary levels. Comprehension is very difficult if the student does not know the meaning of the words.
