Lessons
I tutor students who are in Kindergarten through 5th grade. When tutoring, I focus on keeping the student engaged and interested. I use manipulatives, stamps, new books, games, cards, puzzles, and other activities to change up the learning pathways.
If a lesson is canceled by the student, it is their responsibility (with parent's help when necessary) to notify me. This helps the student feel the responsibility and ownership for the lesson. Every effort will be made to reschedule canceled lessons. If the student is unable to attend the lesson at all, I will make a short assignment video. Rescheduling is not available for no-show lessons. Students should be on time, if not a minute or two early; lessons will not be extended to accommodate tardiness.
Parents are welcome to attend lessons. I record each lesson and will provide the link to parents upon request.
I enjoy teaching and I make it a priority to make a connection with each student. I spent three years teaching in a Special Education environment. Because of that experience, I have a deep appreciation for how each child learns differently. I enjoy individualizing activities so that the student stays engaged and interested. I take time to get to know each student so I can learn how they think, what they’re interested in, and how I might be able to help them.
I especially enjoy helping children in math and reading. Math was something I struggled with in school, so I try hard to help it make sense for kids. I have always enjoyed reading and own a library of which I am quite proud!
If interested in tutoring sessions, each student/parent should fill out this Intake Form. I will contact you so we can discuss lessons further!
Materials
The family is responsible for providing any tutoring materials for the student that may be helpful, whether they are borrowed from school, purchased online, or some other solution. This might include the math textbook the student uses in class or the book the class is reading together. I provide all supplementary tools and games.
Pricing
Monthly tuition is due at the first lesson of each month. There are three options: 30 minute lessons covering one subject for $45, 45 minute lessons covering one subject and dabbling in a second subject for $65, or 60 minute lessons covering two subjects for $90. Lessons are held at my home in Honeyville. Lessons will not be taught in the new month until payment is received. Cash or check are accepted. If one of those is not an option, contact me.
