I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages [ESL or TESOL] from Grand Canyon University. I am a former teacher with eight years of experience in middle school, three years in elementary school, and four years as an instructional specialist. I am currently employed outside of education but still want to be involved in making a difference in the lives of children.
As an instructional specialist, I worked one on one and in small groups, helping bring struggling students to grade level and above.
If you have frustration in other subjects, I am certified and qualified to teach 1st - 6th grades as well as math through 9th grade. I have a variety of experiences outside of teaching mathematics, including writing and editing as well as working with English Language Learners.
If you are ready to end your frustration, contact me so that we can work together to make it happen, because no one should have to say, "I was never any good at school".

Test Preparation

ISEE,

ISEE

As a former classroom teacher, I have move into tutoring the subjects that are required for the ISEE. Specifically, we work on vocabulary strategies and math strategies specific to ISEE. We also cover test taking skills specific to the way this particular test is scored. I have successfully tutored over one dozen students for the ISEE since 2016, helping them reach their goals and achieve their dreams. I would love to do the same for your family!
STAAR,

STAAR

As a veteran teacher in Texas, I have seen the change from TAAS to TAKS to STAAR and can help students with this assessment based on the changes in how the tests are written. I have taught math from grades 3-10 and reading and writing in grade 4. Since reading is at the heart of all other subjects, I have shown students how to analyze text to gain meaning so that they can answer STAAR questions.

Excellent Math Tutor

She has been absolutely wonderful in tutoring my child with Math. She makes Math fun which in turn keeps him engaged. She is open and listens to the parents concerns and tries to incorporate suggested things in her lesson plan to help the child's confidence. I would highly recommend her!

My child being able to verbalize the steps necessary to solve an equation is a game changer. Im glad this session went more smoothly and thus was more productive. So far she enjoys working with Sherry. Im thrilled that she’s learning which aides her in becoming more confident.

Hi Sherry, While I understand your concern of wanting my student to be visible during sessions; it is my hope that you’re capable of finding an effective way to work around it. With that may you employ other methods of reading her so that time isn’t wasted during sessions. With virtual education being on the rise and many students opting to not enable their cameras for whatever their reasons; there has to be other ways of implementing a happy medium.

So far so good. My daughter enjoyed her first lesson with Sherry; she smiled while providing me with feedback. So far; Sherry’s understood our need and is very accommodating. Hopefully she continues to be a good fit for us.

Sherry went over the latest lesson in Algebra I for my son. After the lesson my son felt like he had a better grasp on the math and he was able to finish out the lesson on his own. The one on one tutoring session went very well.
