Introduction: I am an experienced elementary and middle school tutor with a proven high success rate. I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) In Elementary Education and an Master of Science(MS) in Education/Teaching Students with Special Needs. I also hold a Washington State Lifetime Substitute license and a Washington State Residential Teaching License. Yes, as you can tell with my degree, I do tutor students with special needs and I am experienced with teaching all age levels and skill levels. I have been a para-educator(kindergarten and special education), gymnastics instructor, swimming instructor, arts and crafts specialist, residential counselor for persons with disabilities, and I developed and ran three different gymnastic programs. For the last 7 years I have been a substitute teacher with Moses Lake School District and a Substitute Teacher for three years in Anne Arundel County Public Schools in Maryland. The classes in which I have substituted range from pre-k all the way to high school. My preference is elementary, but will tutor any age child. I will help children with homework, give additional instruction for concepts the student is having trouble grasping and help them master them. I believe in active learning and have had success teaching children through games, art and physical activity as well as traditional styles of teaching. I have a knack for reaching a struggling learner and I hope that I can help your child be successful in school as well.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My initial consultation is $50. This is a bargain because gathering and assessing all of the information takes some time but I prefer only to charge for the hours I actually spend with the student not my homework time. I Charge $30 an hour for one on one tutoring time, but if you want small group tutoring the cost will only go up by $10 per student, making individual prices less. I prefer to be paid on a weekly basis, but If you would like a different pay schedule I am willing to negotiate when I get paid.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will meet with both the parent(s) and student to determine subject areas the student is struggling with. This may include administering a test to see what level the student is at so we can find a solid starting point and determine success later on. Then with parental permission schedule to meet the students teacher either in person, on line, or by telephone to find ways I can give the student support for what he or she is working on in his or her classroom. Using the information I gather I will present a plan of action to the student and parent and maybe give the parent ideas of how they can easily help and be involved with their child's success. From there, the student parent and me can decide on a tutoring schedule, hours and times.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BA in Elementary Education MS in Education 20 years experience teaching children in various capacities.
