TEACH to EACH individualized instruction

Need some support for your child (or yourself!) in math or literacy skills?

Want to get it without adding to your COVID risk?

I provide online one-on-one instruction in K-8 math, reading, and writing skills for students of any age, preK to adult.

If your child is struggling in school, or you’ve never really been comfortable with math or spelling, I can help! I can teach anything from counting to algebra and percentages, and from letter sounds to essay composition.

I have:

20+ years teaching experience

Master’s in Teaching

Washington teaching certificate

Training and experience with learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, & autism

Most of my students gain at least a grade level in six months, and many advance even faster. I regularly take students who are well below grade level and bring them up above grade level.

Scheduling now for summer tutoring–avoid the summer slump and arrive at fall with skill gaps filled!

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.
