Welcome to Teacher Scott's Classroom. I have over 30 years of diverse teaching experiences. Tutoring is a joy because it allows me to focus keenly on your student's individual needs and help them overcome learning hurdles. My goal is to help every student build confidence, grow in their love for learning, and achieve academic success in a warm and friendly online environment.

I began tutoring ESL online in 2017 and have taught over 7,000 classes. Parents and students alike love my warm and friendly teaching style. I consistently earned top ratings on the largest virtual ESL teaching platform. I use dynamic methods, including support for programs like Rosetta Stone, to help students achieve maximum English fluency. I have a keen ear for pronunciation and specialize in accent reduction, working with students to make necessary adjustments for clear communication. My certifications include: International Open Academy 120-hour TESOL Certificate Course, TEFL Online, TESOL--VIPKID Foundational, and TESOL--VIPKID Advanced.

With over 20 years of homeschool experience with my own children and teaching in various co-ops, I am passionate about foundational literacy. My favorite subjects to teach are phonics and reading. I use a very systematic phonics approach, which proved incredibly successful with my three daughters as well as with my online students all over the world. I also worked professionally with BookNook, a reading tutor platform, to support students in building confidence in their reading skills.

My subject expertise extends to most elementary and middle subjects including Math and Science. I am also proficient in supporting students using digital learning platforms like IXL to reinforce key math and reading skills.

I look forward to meeting you in the online classroom! Please schedule your next lesson with me to start your learning journey today.

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.

Ivy, 8 lessons with Scott

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

ShaMona, 13 lessons with Scott

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.

Latosha, 103 lessons with Scott

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.

Cheryl, 71 lessons with Scott

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.

Angella, 31 lessons with Scott
