Ongoing ELA Homework/Class Assignment Support
For your high school freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior who needs continuous support in completing assignments in order to be successful in English or Humanities class. A typical session involves reviewing the weekly homework assignments or class projects. I review the assignment sheets, rubrics, and other supporting materials with the student, and then we tackle each task with a strategic, step-by-step plan to complete it to requirements set by the classroom teacher. I also provide supplemental instruction on the standards as needed to target the student's gaps in knowledge or missing skills.
I have extensive experience supporting students with 504 plans, IEPs, and other special needs, customizing my approach to offer strategies that work best for each individual. I also have two years of experience teaching students with IEPs online during the pandemic.
I recommend scheduling at least one hour of tutoring per week. The typical school year semester has 18 weeks, so the twenty-session package is a great deal to provide ongoing support. Universities typically offer scholarships to students with a 3.0 - 4.0 GPA, an opportunity worth thousands of dollars, so affordable tutoring is a crucial investment in your student's future.

Mid-Semester Grade Rescue
For your student who has been struggling without support all quarter and now they are nearly lost with a failing grade at the mid-semester progress report.
If you just found The Turquoise Voice, you're in luck: I offer intensive support sessions for a student who needs extra attention and strategic instruction to get their grades back on track -- FAST.
If your student earns a failing grade at the 1st or 3rd quarter progress report, the end-of course grade will post in just 8 short weeks. This could be a crisis without strategic intervention. In this case, I recommend at minimum the eight-session package to ensure your student meets with me for a power session once every week leading up to the end of the semester. However, some students may find it sufficient to meet with me once every other week, in which case the four session package is a good option. If the student's needs are even more considerable, you will want to double the max number of weekly sessions beyond the sixteen-week package. In that event, please request a custom quote for a deeper discount.
