Foundations Tutoring

I start off with introductions, then I will ask student about their interests, likes and dislikes about school, and how why they think they are struggling in their academics.  I also speak to the parents and ask what their goals are for their child while receiving tutoring.  I ask if they are on an IEP,  504 plan or Behavior Plan to address those needs as well.

I have been an elementary special education teacher for 16 years.  I have worked as a campus supervisor, Instructional assistant and a leader with tutoring/mentoring programs. 

My standard price is $25/hour.

I began working as a campus supervisor right after high school.  Over the years I worked in after-school programs, as in Instructional Aid in general education and special education classrooms.  After subtitute teaching for 3 years, I went received my Education Specialist teaching credential and began an internship.

I have worked with all types of students K-12th grades, but I have most of my experience in Special Education - Learning disabilities.

I have worked 16 years at the elementary school level and I will begin the next school year teaching at the middle school level.

I would advise the student to make sure the student/teacher relationship is compatible, that the expectations and outcomes are discussed and agreed upon, and that both work together on the common goal of academic success.

They should prioritize the needs.  They should know the main reason for needing a tutor, and be specific on they think need to work on.   Be ready to possibly start at the beginning to build up skills that the student is lacking.
