About Gail


Bio

My favorite area in which to tutor is English Language Arts. I will always combine grammar, conventions, vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing; they work together in synergy. In my opinion, students who struggle in one area of Language Arts always struggle in another area because they support one another.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Science and a minor in Liberal Arts. I was a home school mom and a substitute public school teacher for twelve years. I like to focus on...

My favorite area in which to tutor is English Language Arts. I will always combine grammar, conventions, vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing; they work together in synergy. In my opinion, students who struggle in one area of Language Arts always struggle in another area because they support one another.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Science and a minor in Liberal Arts. I was a home school mom and a substitute public school teacher for twelve years. I like to focus on the K-5th grade levels; and rarely tutor above the 6th grade. Last year I taught a private Christian school's elementary class of third through fifth-grade students. I have been a no-child-left-behind tutor and an independent tutor during the summer months for about five years. I try to meet the student where they are academically and not progress them faster than they are able.

Approved Subjects

English

English

I am a very fast and avid reader. I am good at speed-reading and am very good at finding grammatical, spelling, and vocabulary mistakes in written material.
Grammar

Grammar

My grammar skills are very strong. I have a knack for finding grammatical errors in material that I am reading.
Homeschool

Homeschool

For over five years, I homeschooled my two children, and then became a full-time substitute teacher in both private and public school settings. I have an extensive 12-years of teaching experience, particularly with K-5th grade students, and am well-qualified to help students in phonics, reading, vocabulary, spelling, language arts, and writing. I currently work as an online tutor on another platform, so am comfortable and experienced in tutoring online.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I am above-average in catching grammatical and spelling errors in written material.
Reading

Reading

I have over ten years experience in private and public school classrooms, teaching K-5th grade students. For the last three years, I have been a reading and phonics tutor on another online platform and have performed very well; I am one of the top-twenty tutors for children with learning difficulties and those in need of reading and phonics instruction. Though I do not have formal training, I have taught myself through extensive research and hands-on experience. I follow the phonics program developed by the University of Florida Literary Institute and it has worked very well for me and my students.
Spelling

Spelling

I am a current reading tutor on another online platform. With the majority of my students, I focus on chunks of instruction in different areas: phonics, spelling using phonics concepts, vocabulary, comprehension, and reading skills.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I am a current tutor on another online platform, and am one of the top-twenty tutors listed for children with difficulties, who are in need of spelling, phonics, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, or ELA help.
Writing

Writing

I enjoy writing and grew up as an avid letter writer (when we actually used to write letters). I have always enjoyed writing short stories and essays, but prefer writing nonfiction to writing fiction. I love to write witty or comical stories.
