TUTORING

Find out what your child needs to know in order to have success in upper grade levels. Do you know your child's reading rate, comprehension skills or oral grammar? Are you aware of the state requirements for your child? Give your child the benefits of one-on-one tutoring from a Certified Teacher!

Are there benefits from tutoring? YES! Visit your child's classroom and notice that there are at least 21 students with one teacher. Teachers will try to meet every childs needs...but what are the chances of your child slipping through the cracks! Give your child the attention he or she needs with one-on-one tutoring...with hands on activities, student centered and motivational strategies your child will be ahead of the pack.

MATH 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Math requirements have come a long way. It’s not only to know the answer to 7+8. Students are now required to explain, demonstrate and analyze their answers; it’s all about the thinking process that goes into solving mathematical problems.

I will tutor on a one-on-one basis on math skills according to grade level utilizing concrete objects and hands on projects to relate to math problems. My job is to serve as a facilitator to guide students using their reasoning skills to explain how and why of their answers. Students will consistently construct their own knowledge through inquiry and experience.
