Award-Winning Phonics Tutors in San Marcos, TX

Robin ...children get past the "hump" they may be experiencing academically. I earned a degree in Psychology from UTSA, after which I completed additional coursework to earn my Teaching Certificate with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. I am also an experienced tutor and love witnessing that "aha!" moment with children when they finally understand something they have struggled with. I love tutoring all subjects, but Phonics and Reading are definitely my favorites!

Melissa ...In college, I tutored a student in the basics of photography. While I have worked with students in math, logic, reading, grammar, photography study skills, and more, math and logic are my favorites to tutor. I think the most important thing is to convey that learning can be fun. If it is fun, we are more inclined to do it! I love to play logic games, math games, and word games to learn in a...

A student becomes an independent learner by developing problem solving skills, and not by being led to the answers.

Mary ...kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies and...

Cyntia ...school. I have concentrated my efforts on specializing in the areas of math and science in the upper elementary grades. Having students master math skills during this time in the education sets them up for future success and less frustration at the middle school level. Since science is so closely related to math at the middle school and high school level, I have found that having a strong understanding of basic science concepts and vocabulary...

Christine ...joy than helping a struggling reader become a successful reader. I have taught reading in public schools for fifteen years with the last six years specializing in multi-sensory techniques to help dyslexic/special education students become successful readers and spellers. I am certified in Wilson Language and trained in Orton-Gillingham techniques. If you have a child you think would benefit from this kind of instruction, I would love the opportunity to be of assistance.... In a typical first session, I would want to do some informal assessment to determine what the student already knows so that I can meet the student where they are and move forward from there.

I would get to known the student to become familiar with the way they learn, so that I will be able to better help them.

Owen ...my students through engaging teaching strategies as well as forging interpersonal relationships. My experiences teaching have led me to realize that learning is a complex process that requires more than academic content. Creating a positive environment in the classroom (or wherever we decide to do our learning) makes learning exciting. Grasping difficult concepts is a whole lot easier when the process is fun! I bring energy and empathy into my instruction, and build personal relationships...
