"Warm greetings! I would love to partner with your child on their path to success. Looking for a patient, nurturing teacher to uplift your child and help them be successful? I have a real passion for teaching and I love to celebrate successes. It's thrilling to see that special moment when a child's eyes light up and they say "I get this!" Your child will be encouraged and supported every step of the way. My passion is to instill a love of math and reading in my students. I have a goofy sense of humor and I love to make learning fun.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and have some work towards a Master's Degree in Math Education. I taught elementary school grades 2 through 5 all subjects for 15 years, specializing in integrating reading and math throughout the entire curriculum. I taught middle school math grades 6 and 7, as well as Pre Algebra, specializing in relating math to real world experiences, building math confidence and raising test scores. I was a Title 1 reading teacher for two years, teaching intensive reading to small groups of elementary students working with sight words, building their fluency and comprehension. I write children's books and hope to be published soon. I have two years of tutoring experience, working with middle school and high school math students, building their math skills and preparing them for exams.

I bring 20 years of classroom teaching experience to my tutoring approach, personalizing the tutoring lesson plans to fit each child's individual needs. I explicitly teach the material, constantly checking for understanding along the way to determine the pace and depth of the lesson, making adjustments as needed. Dialogue between tutor and student is essential and I always encourage students to ask questions.

I view tutoring as a partnership and welcome any input or suggestions that you or your child may have. Feel free to contact me any time for online tutoring. I have a quick response time and look forward to hearing from you. Let's begin this journey tog" less...
