Approach
My motto is to get the child happy and interested in learning so that they will surpass our expectations!
I like to get the parents' perspective, the teacher's perspective (through work), as well as the child's, in order to find the problem, formulate a plan of action, and work out the best solution for the student's sucess.
Writing Tutoring
Writing can be very daunting or scary for children, but it serves a purpose in our everyday lives. Besides being helpful (i.e. communication) it can be enjoyable and thought provoking. A student who finds it hard to write, simple needs to broaden their vocabulary and they an always find another way writing the story.
Study Skills Tutoring
Simply no distractions! They must bring a bottle of water so that they do not get up for water. Practice makes perfect. I want my students walking away with understanding, not memorizing.
Spanish Tutoring
Visuals work best as well as practice. I am self taught in Russian as well. It helped me to immerse myself in the language. I even wrote the alphabet on my wall, but don't worry parents I will advise against writing on the wall. However, sticker labeling is a very effect way to help.
P.S. I received a 99% on my Spanish Regents.
Science Tutoring
I love science It's all about discovery and making learning fun! Art goes great with explaining how science works. That's why I would be a great fit.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
Reading can be very daunting or scary for children, but it serves a purpose in our everyday lives. Besides being helpful (i.e. communication) it can be enjoyable and thought provoking. A student who finds it hard to read, simple needs to broaden their vocabulary and I have plenty of fun ways to do just that, whether it be through songs, games, etc..
Your child is going to love to read.
