Fun2Learn Tutoring K-5

At Fun2Learn Online Tutoring K-5, my goal is to make tutoring personalized, encouraging, and interactive. I don't use a one size fits all curriculum with my students because each tutoring session is designed to build confidence as well as academic skills. I have learned that teaching students to believe in themselves is one of the most difficult challenges a tutor must overcome. Despite having enjoyed different roles as a teacher, a teacher trainer, and the Dean of Students, I still find that nothing is as rewarding as watching a student realize how capable and smart they truly are. Over the last fifteen years, I've seen that students who struggle academically often feel that something is wrong with them, and they even start to believe that they aren't as smart as their peers. Many children who once loved school may start to withdraw, avoid answering questions in class, act out behaviorally, or become so stressed that it manifests as chronic illness that keeps them out of school all together. This pattern of behavior only increases the educational gap as well as intensifying their feelings of hopelessness in educational settings. It's absolutely heartbreaking to witness because the truth is that ALL students can learn and want to learn when taught with compassion, understanding, and respect. Matching my teaching methods to each individual's learning style helps prove that with hard work and repetition, every child can and will be successful in school. I recognize that if my students aren't learning, then I need to change the way that I'm teaching. I'm very passionate in my belief that it's never the student's fault if they aren't making progress. It's my job to analyze my student's strengths and weaknesses and use that data to create engaging lessons that focus on the specific concepts each child struggles with. That's why my tutoring sessions don't follow a set curriculum. I individualize every session to foster self-confidence, rapid academic gains, and a love of learning that will make school fun again.

Tutoring is extremely rewarding because I get to empower children and hopefully introduce them to a world that is enriched by a positive attitude about learning. I enjoy showing my students that their future is bright and full of possibility.
