As a private tutor specializing in children aged 9 to 14, I assure parents that I can effectively support their child's academic growth. In reading sessions, I select captivating books that align with the child's interests, fostering discussions on characters, literary elements, and plot complexities to enhance comprehension skills. For math sessions, I focus on addressing specific areas of struggle by employing interactive games and personalized exercises tailored to the child's grade level. Utilizing the Orton-Gillingham approach adapted for upper elementary and middle schoolers, spelling sessions offer structured practice to improve language skills and reinforce spelling rules. Parents can choose to enroll their child in one or more of these options, depending on their child's individual needs and areas of improvement. Through personalized tutoring sessions, I work closely with each student to build confidence and competence in their academic abilities. By offering separate reading, math, and spelling options, I ensure that parents have the flexibility to prioritize their child's areas of development. My approach aims not only to improve academic performance but also to instill a love for learning and foster independent thinking. With a track record of success and a commitment to personalized education, I am confident in my ability to help children excel academically. Parents can trust that through my tailored tutoring services, their child will receive the support and guidance needed to reach their full potential.

Hi, I'm Rachel Capes! 🌟
I have an Early Childhood Degree and a Master's in Literacy. I spent 12 amazing years teaching 4th and 5th graders, and Kindergarten SPED in public schools. I even got to be a math and literacy coach!
Now, I homeschool my four wonderful kids. One is gifted, two are right where they should be, and one has a learning disability. This time at home has given me a deeper understanding of all learning styles.
I believe learning should be hands-on and fun! Kids should be excited about math and reading.
In math, we use manipulatives, drawing, and algorithms to make learning engaging. When we meet more than once, kids get to share how they solved problems and explain their thinking.
In reading, we dive into books, discuss vocabulary, explore literary elements, analyze characters and plots, and make predictions. Everyone gets to share their thoughts and opinions while respecting others'.
I love to read, be outdoors with my kids, and this year we're learning to garden together. 🌱
I also teach World History and Geography at an accredited homeschool group.
Let's make learning an adventure! 🎉📚✨
