I Think, I Can! Thoughtful Tutoring Services

I like to determine the student’s proficiciency in the subject or skill for which they are seeking improvement.  I also like to make the student comfortable, to the best of my ability.  It is important that the student feels supported!

I studied psychology and music at Emory University, and have extensive teaching, writing, and editing experience.  I carry Montessori certification, and am trained in Orton-Gillingham.  I have worked with students of all ages, and of varying ability.  I routinely work with dyslexic students, and with students on the spectrum.  Students with ADD/ADHD have frequently experienced meaningful learning under my tutelage.  

My typical rate is $30/hour. I will consider a reduced rate when purchased as a package.

I have been a natural teacher all my life - it is truly my calling, an inescapable vocation.  I finally began to teach professionally as a classroom teacher once my youngest child was four.

I have worked with Montessori students aged 3-12.  I have taught music and directed choruses with children aged 3-12.  I have worked with private vocal students aged 12-19.  I have worked with ESL students, German students, students on the spectrum, gifted students, ADD/ADHD students, shy students, confident students, reluctant students, and more.  I have tutored students ages 4-20 online, via Zoom.  Each person is an individual, and none is defined by these descriptive terms I’ve used.

I have enjoyed the extreme pleasure of preparing reluctant readers/reluctant public speakers for independent research presentations.  There is nothing like watching someone develop confidence, and be comfortable in their knowledge.
