In this one-on-one tutoring class, your child will receive customized help, tailored to fit their needs. I am a certified K-12 teacher, and have lots of experience working with kids preschool through elementary ages. I love to teach! In this class I will work with your child to master concepts and skills based on their individual needs in a fun and lighthearted way so that they can easily absorb and practice the information. Upon registering, please provide a description of what you would like your child to learn so that we can maximize the tutoring session. I look forward to working with your child!
