I am a Washington State certificated teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I majored in Special Education and am state endorsed K-12. During my teaching program, I worked with students ages 5 to 18 years old in a variety of subject areas, including reading, writing, math, social studies, science and study skills.

I am extensively trained in the Response to Intervention methodology focusing on pin-pointing areas of struggle, designing individualized instruction, monitoring progress, and assessing results. This is exactly what a Tutor needs to do!

For the past 3 years, I have worked with students one-on-one to facilitate academic understanding and growth. I also have extensive experience working with students with special needs, primarily in a public school setting.

Before attaining my teaching certificate, I worked with youths at a Therapeutic Boarding School, a Waldorf school farm in Italy, and a Wilderness Survival Program. I look forward to helping your student gain confidence, skills, and excitement about learning!

Tatia is awesome

Couldn't be happier with Tatia and her work with out kids. We have seen improvement in all that work with her.

Connects with and engages child.

We have been doing weekly classes for a little over a month. We are focusing on reading. Our child is 8 years old and will be in 2nd grade next year. In just a few short weeks we have noticed a dramatic improvement in his ability to remember sight words and actually 'read' a book. Why didn't we think of this sooner? Very patient, very on target for what we need.

Fantastic Tutor!!

Tatia is a very professional, friendly and engaging tutor! My son always looks forward to his tutoring sessions with Tatia as she is very thoughtful in her approach to help him in both his math & reading skills. Tatia has been tutoring our son on a weekly basis for several months now and he definitely has increased confidence and has improved in his math abilities. He will be going into the 5th grade and I'm so grateful to Tatia for helping him to prepare for both math and reading for the new school year. Tatia always comes prepared and creates individual lesson plans specifically for my son to help him with his problem areas. She is always on time and then takes a few minutes at the end of each lesson to provide my husband and I with an update on our son's progress. She definitely goes the extra mile and I know she truly does care about our son's learning and education!!!
