Jane Miller

About

I am a retired special education teacher. While teaching I specialized in math and reading instruction at the elementary and secondary level. Most recently I worked at the secondary level teaching algebra and geometry, ELA, Social Studies, and Study Skills.

I have been teaching in a variety of roles for the past 35 years. Currently I am tutoring 2 high school students in ELA, Social Studies and math. I am also helping to homeschool my 3 grandchildren - 4,7, and 10.

I strive to make the learning fun, relevant and relatable whenever possible. I have found that students learn best through hands on activities and games. When possible I find material for them to read and write about that relates to their life experiences. We build connections from there.

I enjoy helping to students reach that light bulb moment when things start to make sense. I enjoy helping them to see themselves as capable learners.

As with all parents, we try to fill each year with those learning experiences that we expect to have multiplying effects over our children’s lives. We recognize that our schools can do only so much. Teachers, good busy teachers, can only do so much. As parents, we too can only do so much. Thus, our family chose enrichment tutoring with Jane Miller. We chose a super mentor and friend.
Jane has tutored our two children since the attended the high school with great success.
We chose Jane because she establishes a joyful and productive learning relationship with her students. Sessions with Jane are focused and kind. She is patient and observant, realizing readiness and helping students overcome fears and previous defeating experiences.
After a years of work with Jane, our two children are finished 11th grade with a sense that they are well prepared in English. They felt confident to take the advanced placement tests, they excels in English and is proud of their skills particularly because of their works with Jane.
Jane is an extraordinary educator. She forms a positive relationship with her students to help them round out their academic skills and build their determination to succeed. She is also playful and kind. Students trust her.
Our two children have worked with Jane and really benefited as they has gained academic skills, particularly in English.
We highly recommend that parents consider enrichment tutoring with Jane Miller who wants their children to excel with confidence, no confusion and to always be at the top of their class. It is just impossible for a teacher with dozens of students to provide the mentoring that Jane does.
We will continue to use Jane’s enrichment tutoring services. We are convinced that the extra hours a week are deepening our children’s study skills, confidence in asking for and receiving help, and academic mastery.
Sincerely,

Ms. Jane Miller is an excellent tutor and certainly helps with understanding key aspects of whatever subject is troubling. She is very flexible, thorough, and thoughtful in her criticism and responses to unknown questions as well as help with preparing for testing and final exams. She is kind, caring, and a genuine down to earth person with a great personality. I had an amazing experience working with her and would recommend that anyone needing help to consider Ms. Miller their too choice if needed.

Frequently asked questions

       I like to meet with the student/parents and clarify what his/her expectations and needs are.

        I like to talk with or email with teachers to compliment/enrich what is being worked on at school, filling gaps as needed. 

  In addition to the above certifications I have been trained in using Orton Gillingham  and Wilson to teach reading.

 After watching the struggles of my sister in school and learning of my father's difficulties I decided that I wanted to help make a difference in the life of others.  My sister and father went through unnecessary struggles and quit school early because there was no help available for them.

Reading a pirate book with my grandson (7) and then helping him to write his own pirate story.  He became the  pirate from the book  in the book we created together.  (We covered up the pirate's face with his own photograph.) 

     

Talk with the teacher to explain what you are looking for.  Ask them what their experiences have been meeting the needs of students with similar needs.

 What are you finding difficult about a particular subject or process?  Do you feel like you know the material but then struggle on tests?  Do you know the answer but can't put it into words?  Do you know how to get started?
