I am a homeschool mom and a part-time online tutor. I have over 30 years of teaching experience in a variety of settings. Tutoring is such a joy because I can focus keenly on your student; meeting their individual needs.

I hold over 7 years of online 1-on-1 ESL teaching experience; having taught over 5,000 classes. Parents and students alike love my warm and friendly teaching style. I obtained top ratings on the largest virtual ESL teaching platform. I also earned the following certifications: International Open Academy 120 hour TESOL Certificate Course, TEFL Online, TESOL--VIPKID Foundational, TESOL--VIPKID Advanced. I have a keen ear for pronunciation and work with students to make necessary adjustments to achieve maximum English fluency.

I have over 20 years of homeschool experience with my own children as well as teaching in a variety of home school co-ops. I have taught high school chemistry, biology, physical science, general science, literature/writing, as well as several elementary aged classes. My favorite subject to teach in the homeschool environment is phonics and reading. My mother-in-law always told my girls, "If you can learn to read, you can learn anything." I had a very systematic phonics approach with my 3 daughters, and they were incredibly successful at learning to read well. I also worked professionally with BookNook a reading tutor platform to support students who need to build confidence in their reading skills.

I look forward to meeting you in the online classroom! Please schedule your next lesson with me! My goal is to help students grow in their love for learning, build confidence, and overcome learning hurdles.

Great tutor!

We have been using Scott for a few months now and my son loves her. She has definitely been helping him grow and be a more confident reader. She engages with him and assigns him homework to keep him engaged. Scheduling is easy and she is always helpful.

Kind and engaging teacher

Ms. Scott has a unique ability to break down complex topics into manageable and relatable pieces, making learning engaging and fun. She uses creative methods, including games and real-life examples, to help students connect with the material. My daughter really enjoys classes with her and looks forward to the upcoming ones.

The best tutor

I love Mrs. Scott as my tutor. She understands me and the way I learn. I love how she listens to me and gives me feedback on my concerns

Thorough and Patient

She's been very patient working with my daughter in the 5th grade in the last one year. I have now seen a remarkable improvement in her grades especially in reading, comprehension and grammar. This has greatly increased her confidence level and she's now looking forward to the EOGs and 6th grade work with a lot more enthusiasm.

Excellent Math Tutor

Ms. Scott has tutored my daughter for the past year and she has been amazing. My daughter has a renewed interest in math due to Ms. Scott’s excellent teaching skills.

Great

Tyler (who has terrible anxiety) opened up to her, which is rare. He specifically asked for her moving forward. She did a fantastic job of getting him to be as engaged as he was.

Professional, caring and kind

Scott D. Is an amazing tutor. My son is very pleased with her. She has a great way of connecting with him and keeping him engaged in the lesson. She teaches him during the lesson so he is not just getting information but instead he is being taught how to access that information when a tutor is not present. I've seen my son improve tremendously in his independence on working on his assignments and the quality of his school work. Scott D. cares about my son as an individual and not just a means of making money. She actually takes time to hear and address my sons concerns and she always puts her all into each lesson. My son cant wait for tutoring because she uses a reward system that motivates him to complete his work. She is good with kids.
