Introduction: Phonics and Reading Is your child struggling with the beginning stages of reading and are you struggling to help them? I use a Phonics program that addresses reading, writing, and spelling so that students can develop the skills to break language down into its most basic parts. Writing Are you looking for writing support for your student outside of the “standard” within the school curriculum? I utilize a program that provides students with a set of tools that applies across all writing formats and that they can use for a lifetime. Grammar Understanding our mother tongue requires three things. A student must know what a thing is (Verb), how it can be used: "He walked. vs. He strolled." Boring verb vs. strong verb, and finally they must practice it again and again until it becomes second nature. Grammar teaches students how to use the 8 different parts of speech. As they practice, they begin to expand upon their definitions...Verbs are not just action words, they can also be helping verbs, linking verbs, and state of being words. I have home schooled my children for eleven years while tutoring small classes of students for Classical Conversations in English and Writing. Additionally, I have been a teacher with Help Elevate Learning Processing and deeply understand learning processing challenges, executive functioning struggles, and learning styles. I can help tutor disciplines using this method and help you and your children learn how to learn anything.

For years my son's writing was graded at below standard on report cards, even though he scores well above grade level in English on standardized tests. After 4 months with Ms. Stacy, he is now writing at or above standard according to his report card. Beyond the numbers, my son's writing has gone from unable to start to extremely eloquent and fun to read. He has a new love of writing that is the biggest gift. When he started with Ms. Stacy I told him he could stop once his writing got up to grade level. He's having so much fun though he wants to keep going. I'm so grateful to Ms. Stacy in every way!

Michelle, Thank you for your kind words. It is so fun working with your son and watching him engage with writing. When students start to learn the fundamentals of grammar a whole new world opens up for them. I appreciate his enthusiasm!

Stacy has been a blessing for my daughter. My daughter is in the sixth grade and was performing on the fourth-grade level. After 1 month with Stacy, I am proud to say that my daughter is performing on the seventh-grade level. Stacy is an advocate for fundamentals. Most public schools have gotten away from teaching students fundamentals and focus more on standardized testing. I wish that we would have found Stacy at an earlier date. Stacy, my family is profoundly grateful to have you as our daughter’s tutor. I highly recommend Stacy and Cherry-Picked Education.

I reached out to get some extra help for my daughter who has mild special needs but was really struggling in reading and spelling. I was very impressed with the connection that was made right away with her from Mrs Cherry and how positive she was. I did not know how well my daughter would respond because we do it via zoom but she LOVES getting on with Mrs Cherry. My daughter never liked school work but now that she is winning and understanding it she looks forward to it. So glad we reached out for the help.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I provide a free 30 minute phone consultation to get to know you and your student.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first like to assess the type of student you have. Are there any learning processing challenges to be considered such as ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning, or sensory processing difficulties to be addressed? I will work with your student one on one while also helping equip you with tools and skills to help your learner.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked in small classrooms of 8-10 students tutoring English grammar through Classical Conversations Inc., while also using the Institute for Excellence in writing curriculum. I have been a teacher for Help Elevate Learning Processes (formerly Help Eliminate Learning Problems) working with children and adults to treat learning problems and processing weaknesses. In my life before children I worked with local colleges and universities for Pearson Higher Education Publishing as a curriculum specialist for the western region. In this role I supported professors by helping them utilize their textbooks supplementary and online material available to them.
