Literacy Tutoring

My literacy tutoring, for grades K-4, focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas:

Reading

• decoding strategies
• reading with fluency and expression, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, short stories, chapter books
• reading comprehension
• critical thinking – summarizing, making inferences, forming conclusions, creating alternate solutions, etc.

Writing

• word study, spelling, grammar
• editing
• paragraph writing
• creative writing, narratives, poetry, etc.
• non-fiction writing

Study Skills

• how to study for tests,
• test taking skills
• homework & project help

I strive to create an hour of learning that is specific to your child's needs while being both fun and challenging.

My Motto Is ... "Practice Makes it Easy".

The small jobs assigned for homework will help to solidify concepts and make good habits second nature.

Math Tutoring K - 4

As a parent, I understand that when children struggle with math, it lowers their self-confidence, and they often feel "dumb" or that they'll "never get it". My aim is to give your child the tools to develop his or her problem solving skills and understanding. I want your child to bring me a school test with a big smile on his or her face and tell me it was "easy"!

I am able to program and tutor math curriculum for your K to Grade 4 child in the following topics:

• numeracy, the operations, problem solving, memorization
• measurement, telling time
• geometry, 2D & 3D shapes
• decimals, fractions
• patterning, early algebra
• data management, probability
• studying and test taking

At lesson, your child will often be working with hands-on Montessori materials with me. These materials help to take the mystery out of math, making it a concrete concept. I always assign weekly homework jobs because "practice makes it easy"!

By communicating with your child's teacher, I will be able to program for the lesson ahead of time, using the current or upcoming unit of study and help your child prepare for tests.
