Individualized Tutoring

I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in English with a focus on the teaching of writing.

I charge $25 for homework help type sessions, where the client comes to me with specific goals and provides the majority of the materials to work on. I'm still happy to supplement materials occasionally for these types of lessons! For lessons where I assess, write goals, plan lessons, and teach new concepts, I charge $35 an hour. I provide learning materials for these types of lessons.

I've wanted to be a teacher since I was in elementary school! I love helping people be their best selves, and I'm fascinated by the way that people learn and grow. I've been a teacher in a classroom setting as well, but I particularly like working with students one-on-one or in small groups because it lets me really see how they shine.

I've worked with many types of students. I've worked with students as young as three, and I've worked with students who are adults seeking to further their educations. I've worked with neurodivergent students with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing disorder, with mental health concerns including bipolar disorder and severe anxiety disorders, students with learning disabilities, and students with intellectual disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Everyone can learn, and everyone deserves the opportunity to learn.

I'm helping a student who struggles to write but who LOVES to read. She particularly loves to read fantasy stories, so we're writing a fantasy story. This morning, she showed me a map of her invented world, which she'd colored and labeled. She'd written careful descriptions of each place as well. She was so proud!

Find someone you feel comfortable enough with to be yourself, but who can challenge you to grow. You want someone who makes you feel confident that you can achieve great things, but also someone who expects those things from you, and who's willing to help you out until you get there.

What's unique about your situation? What do I need to know to understand you and how to help you learn? What made you decide it was time to get some outside help? What are your biggest areas of concern? What are your biggest strengths? We can use those to help you grow. What's the most important thing you want to get from working with a tutor?
