One-on-one tutoring targets the individual’s need, is rigorous, and gets results. For the past fourteen years, I have helped students improve their math, reading, and writing skills. I also offer test preparation for the ACT, SAT, and numerous other vocational exams. I accept students from all levels but mainly focus on middle school students and above. I can assist with high school algebra, geometry, and college algebra. For those who want to improve reading skills, I can help with decoding words and using context clues to improve vocabulary and reading comprehension. My clients have a choice of meeting with me in person in Hazel Green or online using Google Meet. One of my first actions when accepting a new client is to contact his/her teacher, so we are coordinating our efforts.
Patience is one of my strengths; I understand that a concept may need to be retaught several times before it is mastered. A number of my students have been diagnosed with learning disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, nonverbal learning disorder, and Aspergers. My pupils have been successful in improving grades, and many have won academic awards and have gone on to take advanced courses. I now see my “kids” joining the work force and succeeding in various fields.
My goal is to provide students with the tools to think critically, so they will gain confidence in their ability to solve problems. For many learners, this can be accomplished in a few sessions. For others, who have processing disorders which make learning more difficult, it will take longer. Then there are a few who come to me because they want to be challenged and taken beyond the instruction they are getting in the classroom. No matter the reason for tutoring, I want each person to reach the point where he/she no longer needs my assistance.
