"Welcome! My name is Celeste. I have been an online tutor for two years. I hold a Bachelors of Science Degree in Education, specializing in Language Arts and Social Studies. In addition, I have earned a Master's Degree in Childhood Education. I have over thirty years of experience working with preschoolers and elementary students in various settings. For the past two years, I have been an online tutor. My tutoring sessions are fun, engaging, and encouraging. I look forward to working with your child to help them achieve success!

An outstanding K-6th tutor needs to take into account the student's learning style (how they learn best) and the subject material when preparing for the tutoring session. Furthermore, I believe it is important to challenge and stretch the student beyond their limits in a safe and encouraging environment.

Most of my online tutoring, for the past two years, has been in the area of teaching reading and vocabulary. I believe that there are many techniques that will help a student learn vocabulary and strengthen their reading skills. Some of these techniques include the "I read, You Read, We Read" approach. This method has proven successful in learning vocabulary.

An outstanding handwriting tutor is patient and encourages the child to have the proper writing tools to help them with their writing. For younger children, a larger circumference pencil is the best tool to help them develop their fine motor skills in writing. Many times, repetition is really the most effective way in practicing one's handwriting skills.

It is important to help a student learn the name of the letter, phonemes (sound) of each letter, learn how to blend the letters together. After a few fun games and repetition, it is always best to help a student apply the what they have learned by reading a short passage.

I look forward to helping your student become successful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, as you determine the best tutor for your child. I look forwar" less...
