"Hello! My name is Susan. I’m an experienced educator with over 12 years of teaching in a variety of settings, plus 4 years running my own K–6 tutoring business covering all subjects. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education and a post-baccalaureate Certification in Reading. My background includes homeschooling, teaching in elementary classrooms, and working with middle school, high school, and adult ESL learners. I’ve taught in both classroom and one-on-one settings, and I’ve also trained volunteers to teach reading. Whether your child needs help catching up, building confidence, or getting ahead, I bring a warm, encouraging approach with proven strategies to make learning stick and even be fun and enjoyable. Many times when a child expresses frustration, there is an area of weakness that needs to be strengthened in order to build on it. I am good at finding and improving that weakness, allowing the child to soar. I believe every learner can grow with the right support—and I’d love to be part of your child's success story. Let's connect today and start your child on the path to confident learning!" less...
