Hello, I'm a retired, experienced, certified elementary school teacher that thoroughly enjoyed teaching for 20 years. I've taught grades 3-6, reading, math, science, and writing. In addition, I have a background in Art, Theatre, and Photography; disciplines that I bring to the classroom to make learning more interesting and creative. I've tutored for the last three years with 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students. I am knowledgeable and very patient.
My goal is to teach students strategies on how to approach a problem, find a proper solution, and help them understand that it's ok to make a mistake and learn from our mistakes. Building self-confidence, learning to problem solve, and acquiring the necessary skills, while feeling comfortable working independently is what I strive for when working with students. I've had a lot of experience teaching Second Language Learners and I am well aware of the problems they face in and out of the classroom.
So, whether it's working on homework or learning new skills, please contact me, and let's get started learning. I'm excited to hear from you and would certainly enjoy helping you become an independent learner!
