Teacher-Mom Tutoring

I have been a home educator for 26 years and I have graduated three of my four children. My last student is 11th grade. I am very passionate about education and learning and because of that in 2014 I started working with other families whose children needed help with various subjects, such as, math, reading, spelling, history, science, and so much more. I began opening my home to many students and parents who were looking for more than just "school", they were looking for enjoyment and new experiences. Biology labs , such as dissections, became one of my most sought after class. I am also an educator who thinks out of the box and presents materials in a fun, new, and fresh way. I believe that every student is different and deserves the education that is right for them. I also started a Facebook homeschool group that has grown to over 650 members in my local area. I am knowledgeable in most curriculums and within moments of sitting with both parent and student I can tell what will work for them. I tutor kindergarten through third grade, but I can tutor on up to high school level. I enjoy seeing students grasp a concept that they could not grasp beforehand.

I don't see this as "work" because I love teaching children of all ages. I have the opportunity to take something that is "difficult" and turn it into a great learning experience that get students and parents excited. Individualized attention is one of the best ways a student can progress and my "job" is to make sure they just don't progress with me, but in whatever educational environment they are in. I love encouraging and telling a student that they can do anything and that "practice makes progress." After that they are no longer afraid to make mistakes.
