I typically have a bit of availability mornings, afternoons, and early evenings (EST) Mondays through Thursdays. I prefer to hold classes on Zoom, but also offer the opportunity to hold them on the Outschool and Wyzant platforms (I have background checks for both sites) as well (but the price will be higher on those platforms than on a private Zoom).

Does your child enjoy learning games? If so, I may be able to help! I am a certified former elementary school teacher having left the classroom in the fall of 2016, having been a certified teacher since 2001.  During my years in the classroom, I taught 1st-3rd grade.  My former school district used the Common Core for many years, so I have been teaching Common Core skills for a while now and I understand them well. I also taught 1st grade, 2nd grade, and DK students at a hybrid homeschool for 5 years. I am still active in curriculum development. I have completed my IXL certification.

In addition to tutoring, I can help with homeschooling as well (planning, teaching, assessing, and working with parents on how to help their child) for kindergarten-2nd grade aged students.  

I love to use hands-on learning games and activities to help with tutoring students to make their tutoring time engaging and fun! As a former teacher, I am very willing to hear about what your child's teacher is doing and the methods that are or are not working for your child so that I can better teach your child. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with students and help them to reach their full potential and to hopefully inspire in them a lifelong love of learning!

My educational background & certifications include: B.A. elementary education & history at Michigan State University (2001), M.A. curriculum with a focus on literacy at Michigan State University (2007), Michigan certified teacher since 2001 (currently certified as well), and continuous professional development so that I can stay current on best practices.
