Mindful Tutoring
Tutoring is an art of balance. It is about motivating and challenging individuals to reach their potential. Knowing when to apply pressure and when to back off is key to supporting a student to reach for the edge, while avoiding falling off the edge due to frustration. Much like walking the fine line of a tight rope, tutoring is the art of balance.
I use a holistic approach to tutoring, guiding students to find their academic strengths, while developing personal strategies for success. With experience in reading intervention, special education, elementary and middle school math, executive function/organization/study skills, a CA Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a BA in English/Creative Writing, I reach out to the student to find the best way for him/her to learn.
Each session is individualized to provide tools and strategies for stress reduction, building self confidence, and creating new opportunities for learning. I foster an environment where students feel safe to explore new ideas, ask questions, and seek answers…encouraging them to make mistakes because mistakes are sometimes how we learn best. My approach to education helps children develop self-evaluation skills that enhance self-esteem and boost confidence. By engaging my students in auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning, as well as mindfulness practices, I help them develop concentration and focus, and healthy mind habits to ensure a solid learning experience.
MOBILE LEARNING
I understand how hectic scheduling can be with school, sports, and after school activities, so I come to you! We can meet in your home or another predetermined location, where your child can work one-on-one in an atmosphere that best serves his/her needs. I also offer private school support, where we can work within the school during the school day, and home school assistance (support for parents and instruction for students).
COLLABORATION
A team approach is essential to your child's success. If possible, I will be in contact with your child's school teacher to support classroom instruction, as well as any other educational professionals who may be working with your child. Regular parent updates are provided through email reports. Parents should feel free to call or email with any questions or concerns. I also offer home school and private school support.
INDIVIDUALIZED LESSONS
Based on information from conferences and collaboration, as well as getting to know your child through one-on-one interaction, all lessons will be individualized to meet your child's needs and address your child's goals.
RATES
Hourly rates are dependent on location and student's individual needs.
