She is extremely organized and she teaches the academic materials very well. I am currently a junior in highschool and I still continue to use her methods to write better essays, achieve higher test scores, etc. She is truly remarkable and has changed my academic life.

Mrs. Star was excellent! She kept things light and fun while tackling the hard subject. She also planned fun creative projects to break up the book work.

She goes through items with your child in things they don’t understand until it makes sense to them. She provides them with homework to complete helping them to always strive to do better.

Ms Starr has helped my 9 year old progress milestones this past year. My son was struggling in school and needed a lot of one on one attention. Ms Starr was patient with my son and worked with him day in and out until he got down a lot of concepts. We are grateful we found such an awesome teacher and will continue to work with her.

Me. Starr did a great job getting my 5th grader up to speed. My son was very behind due to online schooling, Ms. Starr was able to turn him around, and get him caught up in a short amount of time.

Frequently asked questions

I want a student to feel comfortable with me, as I will be someone who will spend time one-on-one with them, so I want them to feel that they can talk to me.

Then, I will assess for issues or skills that need strengthening.  I will discuss my expectations of behavior and the goals that we will share in getting the student to achieve academic success.

I'm a graduate of Humboldt State University. I have 2 Bachelor's degrees, Psychology and Multiple Subjects, commonly known as elementary education. I have additional supplementary authorizations in English, allowing me to teach up to 12th grade in that subject, and the CLAD authorization, which allows me to teach English as a second language. I have over 20 years of experience utilizing these degrees as a teacher and tutor.

My tutoring fees start at $40 (teaching skills, providing work etc.)per 60 minute session.

I am open to working with more than one student. My fees change dependent on the number of students and degree of difference between students.

Students requiring more than 15 miles of travel will also incur a $5+ travel fee .

Every August my mother would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up. By the time I was in 9th grade, I knew I wanted to work with children. By the end of 9th grade I realized that I would be happiest working with children to help them understand academics and to use that knowledge beyond the classroom.  

I have worked with students from kinder through 12th grade in most subjects, and with students who are just learning English for the 1st time.  Some students were accelerated learners and others were overcoming academic challenges. In all cases, I have endeavored to make learning interesting and strengthen the student's self confidence. 

This is a tough question due to the broad nature of the inquiry.

Any time a student's face lights up with the knowledge that they understand a new concept, become aware of their own abilities and their confidence grows are the times I am most fond of.

Make sure this teacher is well spoken, knowledgeable and that you feel comfortable in this person's presence.

Can you adequately describe your concern?

Is this the appropriate teacher to ask?

Can you accept that a teacher may not have the answer? Therefore, you must continue to search for information.p>
