Fundamental Academic Skills Tutoring
USA, Portsmouth, VA
I am a patient, empathetic tutor, who helps students overcome challenges in reading, math, and handwriting, specializing in supporting learners who are struggling with failing grades, low test scores, and frustration with homework and assignments.
Main Services:
tutoring, reading decoding and fluency assessment, math number sense and computation assessment
As a Virginia-certified teacher with over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I use proven, research-based strategies to guide my students toward academic success.
My approach to reading incorporates the Science of Reading to improve fluency, comprehension, and confidence. In math, I assess students’ number sense and foundational skills (their understanding and application of math facts in class and in every day life) to build a strong foundation for math literacy using best practices and personalized methods.
I work with students in an online setting, providing convenience and affordability for families while maintaining the high level of support and engagement students need. My goal is to make learning less stressful and more rewarding for every student I work with.
