"I am a teacher of 35 years and the mother of five grown children. Both my undergraduate and Master's degrees are in elementary education. If the following bullet points resonate with you, I may be the tutor for whom you are looking.

I believe that phonics is essential for good reading and spelling, that mastery of math facts is critical for success in math beyond 3rd grade, and that a good understanding of English grammar is extremely helpful for becoming a good writer.

The three areas of teaching where I believe I am able to give students their biggest, quickest boost are these:

1) K5-7th grade math

2) K5-3rd grade reading and spelling

3) 2nd-6th grade grammar

I think that summer is a GREAT time for giving students an academic boost! In summer students are able to get 40-60 hours of tutoring in a matter of weeks, which is much quicker, more efficient, and more concentrated than they can get by tutoring an hour/week throughout the school year.

I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about giving your child that boost, so feel free to contact me." less...
