Goodbye Prek, Hello Kindergarten: Let’s Serve up Some Math! Private Tutoring 1:1

Students will learn and/or improve on their mathematical skills that are needed as an incoming Kindergartner. 

Tutoring can be based off of help with your learner's current school's program or my own curriculum, it is up to you to determine how you want to utilize these sessions to best meet the needs of your child. 

Hello! I'm Ms. Jennie, and I am SO excited to begin teaching on Outschool! I have 5 years of teaching experience in the public schools (Preschool-2nd) as a certified Early Childhood Educator/Special Ed. (with ESL and LBS 1 endorsements). I have experience in a variety of classroom settings including self-contained settings, small group and individual interventions, and Preschool For All to name a few. 

One unique experience I have had was teaching in Houston, Texas for an internship in a Preschool Montessori classroom with students who were considered at risk.

I have a minor in Psychology and strongly believe in building/teaching social-emotional skills both explicitly as well as in the natural moment from a very young age!

MY PHILOSOPHY: 
Children are naturally curious of the world around them. Research shows that when you can provide meaningful experiences that connect with the child’s natural interest, it enhances their learning and engagement. I believe in this as well as that learning can be fun and exciting, so long as especially as a teacher I cater to each of my student’s unique strengths and interests and teach in a multi-modal ways. In addition, I believe that every student can learn, it just may not be in the same way or on the same day as others. 

Each student and family brings their own set of knowledge and instead of focusing on the "I can't do this", these individualized tutoring sessions focus on the "I can" and rephrases "I can't" to " I cannot yet." <Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset>

This is a case by case basis depending on each individual learner/family's goals, needs and expectations. 

I can do all sorts of assessment from informal to formal assessment.
It all depends on what you seek out of these sessions.
I am a Certified Teacher and have given assessments before. I have also worked in intervention groups with struggling Kindergarten students. 

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
