My passion has always been teaching. I started classroom teaching over 20 years ago. Throughout my career, I have taught students from kindergarten to college levels. In 2009, I began tutoring in addition to teaching.
Now, I only tutor and focus on each student individually.
I have a Bachelor's in Education and a Masters in Teaching.
I love helping students learn!
There are many advantages to learning and practicing skills in a on-on-one setting:
Tutoring is the perfect place to personalize methods and activities for your student. As a classroom teacher and as a tutor, I have continued to discover many approaches to learning. There are multiple methods to help your student learn the same skills and concepts. I will find and apply what works best with your student in learning each new skill.
Students need to be comfortable with the learning environment in order for their brains to absorb and remember the information. To help increase a student's comfort level, I start by getting to know him or her personally: interests, stressors, activities that the student enjoys, etc. Then, I can incorporate these things into our lessons.
Since I taught so many grades and subjects, and I have had experience tutoring in even more subjects, I tutor in the following:
Tutoring sessions are a great time and place to do hands-on methods. Students of all ages benefit from hands-on learning activities.
Brains love color. Using color to learn and review helps the brain remember concepts that students are learning. In tutoring, we use color with all ages to enhance your student's learning.
Various sizes, colors, styles, and even textures of paper can help all ages of students practice different skills. Index cards, whiteboards, and sticky notes can also be helpful tools for learning and studying.
Technology provides many opportunities and options to explore ways to learn. Many classroom instructors also give assignments online.
