Let's Learn! On-going Tutoring with Aunt Sam
For over 25 years, I've homeschooled, emphasizing phonetics, fostering penmanship, employing manipulatives for math, and tailoring teaching to the individual student for the 3 "R's" and life skills.

US Grade Kindergarten - 6
The elementary years are key to allow your child to flourish educationally and emotionally. Will they love Reading? Writing? Arithmetic? Will they be Happy? Can they interact with others in a positive way? Sometimes extra attention, praise and guidance is needed for that excitement to grow.
From 25 years of Homeschooling, I taught all of my children to read through simple phonetic games and repetition. I believe reading, writing and basic math can be fun with patience and play! I use puppets, felt, blocks and other manipulative to explain and entertain as we learn. I also believe that Emotional/Social Education is essential. I have used 7 Habits for Happy Kids by Sean Covey to discuss some important Emotional/Social topics.
To allow our tutoring experience to be engaging, please provide the following
1. Information about the specific concept to cover, for example:
Reading Examples: Fluency, decoding, comprehension
Writing Examples: Brainstorming, sentence structure, penmanship
Math Examples: Addition, problem-solving, measurement
Concerns
Emotional/Social concerns
2. Your Learner's preferred Learning Style? Is your child a visual, audio or tactile Learner?
3.Your Learner's interests; ponies, sports, Minecraft?
With your specified support, I will provide personalized, engaging instruction that will enable your child to progress through our weeks together. I am able to help with homework, focus on a specific difficulty, or create a game covering a concept. Just remember, I think learning is FUN!
