About My Services
I provide regular tutoring services virtually for all subject areas K-9 and English/Writing K-12. I offer work sessions for all ages and subjects. Work sessions are designed to support students as they complete their school work. I teach my students strategies to help them become more focused, active learners and help them practice these strategies while actively completing their school. Work sessions are great for students who have fallen behind or students who are working at an advanced/accelerated pace. I directly teach students how to organize, schedule, and pace virtual learning.
Learning happens best when the student has positive relationships with their teachers and tutors. My tutoring and work sessions are fun, upbeat, and productive. Upon request, I can offer small group tutoring/work sessions at a reduced rate if scheduling allows.
Work sessions can be an incredibly powerful tool for online learners. My work sessions utilize a technique called 'Body Doubling.' This method was initially developed for students with ADHD and has proven effective for all kinds of learners. In a Virtual Body Doubling Work session, the student and the tutor both share their screens and complete 'work' together. The idea is that when two people are both working on completing tasks, it is easier for the student to focus. I am typically knitting or doing tasks with my hands so I can monitor on-task behavior and support the student as needed. Body Doubling is particularly effective when a student gets behind with school work and feels overwhelmed.

My Experience
I have worked as a certified, Special Education Teacher for nine years and have five years of virtual tutoring experience. I have also been on the other side as a parent of two children enrolled in Epic Charter School. My 19-year-old graduated from Epic last year and my 15-year-old is a sophomore this year. I am very familiar with Epic's curriculum, policies and what is required for student success. I actively teach students how to create and follow daily schedules, set daily goals, and organize their workloads. My goal is to teach students how to be active, engaged learners so that extra support is no longer needed.
