About
TUTORING FOR ADULTS 18+. I do not tutor children.
Hello. I am a retired Spanish teacher and I have worked on and off as a tutor for over 30 years. I tutor math, Spanish, English as a Second Language, GED and ASVAB. I always try to make a lesson that is tailored to my students
I am also a notary and an officiant. I am able to perform marriages, baptisms and funerals. I am no longer taking weddings on Saturdays for 2026 but may consider a Friday or a weekday. I will start booking 2027 weddings in late November or December.
If you do message me, please be kind and reply. If you are interested in lessons, please note what I provide so we can work together so you what you need-thanks in advance. And again, I can work with my prices if needed.

She was kind, professional, she worked at my speed. She explained the problems, corrected my test and sent it to me. I needed a chart and she sent that as well. All this and her initial appointment was free. She worked after my appointment to get me those things. I had to pay her, with a tip. She even gave me a discount for being a retired federal worker. Tutoring isn't cheap, so I really appreciate that. Its still kind people in the world, that actually care about people.
Details: My home, venue, etc.

It was a pleasure working with Sheila. She customized lessons based on our needs. We asked for homework and she took time to review our independent work each week. Highly recommend!

had a great experience working with Sheila as my tutor. She is patient, knowledgeable, and really takes the time to make sure you understand the material instead of just rushing through it. No matter how many questions I asked, she explained things clearly and in a way that actually made sense to me.
She creates a comfortable learning environment, which made it easy for me to stay engaged and grasp the concept of each. I’ve seen real improvement since working with her, and I appreciate how supportive, patient andencouraging she is throughout the process.
I would definitely recommend Sheila to anyone looking for a reliable and effective tutor!

Shiela was amazing! I’m so glad she officiated our wedding. She kept us up to date on her she needed to do and made sure they matched up with ours, she contacted us multiple times (making sure we were free and scheduling a time to talk if we were not) to discuss finer details. She even helped us when we had questions about paperwork and where to go. 10/10
