Award-Winning Phonics Tutors in Akron, OH

...tutoring experience. I have current teaching licenses in both Ohio and Maryland for grades 7-12 mathematics, although I am eager to expand my tutoring horizons! I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on subjects from pre-algebra through Calculus 3 (and a bit beyond). I have also helped students preparing for the SAT, ACT, LSAT, and other standardized tests, and have tutored...

...reading and being part of several fandoms (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Kingkiller Chronicles, and several others), academic reading and history podcasting, conlanging (creating languages), camping/hiking, kayaking, Boy Scouts/Scouting, puzzle solving (blacksmith's puzzles, Rubik's solids, etc.), and playing with math. I got a message from a former client today in which she told me that I helped her son score within the top 99th percentile on SAT overall.

...varied career in education working as an adjunct professor, substitute teacher, and tutor. I have worked with a diverse group of students from k-12 and adult learners as well as students with special needs and ESL students. Tutoring has been the highlight of my career.

Through this tutoring experience I am looking forward to making real connections with students and helping them achieve all that they can.

...realize that each child is their own individual. Each will reach their goals at different speeds and in different ways. We all learn differently and a teacher must recognize the best way to reach each student. I have the knowledge and understanding to connect with each child so that they can become the life-long learner they were meant to be. Patience is a true virtue and knowing that I have the patience to work with...

...lessons must be directed not only towards ensuring the student masters the material but also keeps the student engaged in and enthusiatic about the education process. Finally, the effective tutor must remember that the end goal of the learning process is not only to master a defined set of knowledge and skills, but also to learn "how to learn;" in this way the student will be better equipped to thrive in an ever changing environment.

I am an experienced educator with a proven track record of success! Patience is the key when trying to master new concepts and material. I will teach simple, proven techniques for all subject matter which has worked for decades with an 97% passing rating.
