"I am a passionate, dedicated, and determined educator who is very much interested in tutoring your 5th grader in Math. I am also a licensed Illinois educator who is not only highly qualified to teach 5th grade, but has taught 5th grade for 12 years. During my 25 year teaching experience, I implemented and mastered numerous strategies appropriate for helping students reach their full potential when studying Math. Within the last 8 - 10 years, I tutored students in Reading, English/Writing, and Math after school and on Saturdays. Whether teaching in the classroom or tutoring, I developed a keen aptitude for teaching to all learning styles and personalities.

In my first lesson with your 5th grader I would like to administer a Math assessment so that I can determine your 5th grader’s needs and strengths. The results of this assessment would be shared with you and your 5th grader prior to our next meeting via email or telephone. Accompanying the assessment results, I will also present and explain a learning plan.

Does your student love computers? If so, you may find online tutoring to be the ideal opportunity. Your child will have access to regular scheduled sessions, as well as additional help if needed. Online tutoring will enable and/or encourage students to ask more questions. It also allows them to become better critical thinkers. Online tutoring has been found to be more convenient and flexible. Learning videos and other online learning programs will be shared with your child, thereby, providing him with an additional tool to utilize in the strengthening of skills. There is no additional fee for online tutoring. The only thing you would need is a computer and access to the internet. Accompanying my Bachelor and Master degrees in Education, I have also received certification to teach online. At your convenience, I invite you and your child to try an online lesson with me.

I would love to discuss the possibility of us working together for the benefit of your 5th grader. I am available Monday through" less...
