"Dear Families:

My name is Leita and I am a very experienced Washington State certificated teacher. I have worked in the Puget Sound area in grades K-12 for many years. Put my experience and creative mind to work for you and your student! I am currently working in both public and private schools as well as serving as a principal arts coach in several public schools.

I am qualified to tutor and assist with homework in all subjects areas, PreK - 6, and reading/English K-12. I especially enjoy working with students in boosting their study skills, test taking skills and self-confidence, and I design specialized instruction with Response to Intervention techniques, inclusive of monitoring progress and the assessment of results. I especially enjoy working through word problems or essay questions, clearly showing every step and explaining every thought process until students obtain full conceptual understanding and can use key strategies confidently.

I have a degree in Elementary Education, a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and am endorsed in K-2 early childhood education and reading K-12.

I would be elated to help anyone who wants to work hard and I will provide motivators which will inspire any student (adult or child) to acquire successful learning. If you are looking for a dedicated educator who is patient, enthusiastic and cares, please give me a call. We can discuss your specific goals and how to effectively meet them." less...
