"Dear Students & Parents,

As a Certified Education Specialist with 7 years of classroom experience (preschool to 12th grade) with an active teaching credential, I excel in teaching reading, writing, and math. I’ve seen “aha” moments and watched many students transform from struggling with letter sounds to reading chapter books. My special education teaching expertise ensures all students feel empowered. I earned my Education Specialist (Special Education) teaching credential at California State University, Northridge.

I specialize in phonics via the Sonday System, rooted in Orton-Gillingham methods, breaking reading and writing into clear steps. I also specialize in “The Writing Revolution” writing method. Every tool I use factors in essential standards and is backed by science.

My tutoring stands out by tailoring lessons to each student’s needs and interests. In-person, I use manipulatives like counting animals or letter tiles; online, I leverage various digital manipulatives and tools. My adaptability comes from teaching a wide variety of students with various learning challenges. I aim to build skills and pride in every step.

I hold a California Education Specialist Credential (Mild/Moderate Disabilities) from CSU Northridge, with Autism Authorization, plus certifications in Sonday System, Pear Deck, Nearpod, Prodigy, and more. I’m trained in various academic assessments and attend workshops (e.g., ISTE, California Mathematics Council) to stay sharp and current. I also regularly listen to many educational podcasts in order to gain new insights.

I offer up to 14 hours daily, 7 days a week, in-person or via Zoom, with flexible rescheduling. Progress updates will be provided.

Thank you for considering me—I’d love to help your learner succeed with my creativity and commitment!

Sincerely,

Aaron" less...
