Award-Winning English Tutors in Tempe, AZ

...struggle through high school until my English teacher realized I needed help. When it comes to teaching reading (and phonics), I like to utilize graphic organizers, reading strategies, and connecting material to life outside the classroom. I am a firm believer that reading is the basis to all other subjects, and without the knowledge or strategies, how can we continue and excel in other areas? When I am not teaching I like to go hiking...

I love to think outside the box when it comes to planning lessons, applying student interests and hobbies when possible. This act gives each lesson my personal touch. I believe communication is key when building that student-teacher bond. The more communication there is, the more trust is earned. If the student is able to feel safe, share ideas and...

They are not only the subjects that young impressionable children will carry on to use throughout their lives, but they are also the subjects that create a firm foundation on pursuing a wide range of other subjects based on the students' interests.
