"Hello! I am a public school teacher, certified and highly qualified in Reading, Title 1 Remedial Reading, Language Arts, English, Speech, and Journalism. I also have a master's degree in Educational Leadership. I have taught in inner-city public schools for over 10 years at the middle school level. I have tutored students in grades 3-12 for over 20 years. This includes content-based English class sessions, novels, writing, and social science lessons. Sciences and Maths tutoring focuses on note-taking, student-reteach, and supplemental resources to enhance classroom learning.

As a tutor, I take a learning-based approach to helping students understand the content of their classes. The approach students take to learning is vastly more important than the content itself. Understanding their learning and productivity requirements, having transferrable strategies to learn any content, and focusing on effective study methods can increase a student's overall confidence and success in a short amount of time.

During sessions, students will learn note-taking skills, study skills, and how to use effective supplemental materials to reinforce the content in their classes. They will also learn study strategies that will give them an edge on quizzes, tests, essays, and overall retention of the subject matter.

I offer the following kinds of sessions:

direct content-based reinforcement on current assignments (homework, projects, novels, etc., that are currently being studied in class)

supplemental content-based instruction on standards or topics of choice (areas of struggle, areas of enhancement, topics the student wants to learn)" less...
