Award-Winning Phonics Tutors serving Redmond, WA

...finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and pets,...

...interactions with students of various nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although I would be delighted to tutor many subjects, my passion is English. From an early age, I have been fascinated with words and the way we use them.

Besides education, my interests and hobbies include theatre, cooking, camping, and volunteerism....

This past year, I developed and taught an original curriculum intertwining creative...

...under the language arts umbrella. When working with students, I don't worry about where they "should" be, instead I focus on where they are, and where they want to go. Two things I find especially rewarding are helping a student discover their own unique writing style, and helping a student to overcome anxiety in public speaking. Outside of school, I enjoy playing video games, watching football, and collecting comics. I also write speculative fiction, and...

I am a Seattle-based actress and singer originally from Illinois -- I moved to the Seattle area in 2000. I also work part-time at a non-profit guardianship firm downtown.

...which I find effective. Although I am capable of tutoring a variety of subjects my specialty is English and writing essays as it is what I have the most experience in.

I'm friendly and patient, and I will do what I can to help you as long as you are willing to help yourself. I love using nemonic devices that help keep vocab or other concepts in our brains.... I can't do...

...providing examples and supplemental materials that are suited to their learning style, allowing them to approach the subject from multiple angles until they find one that works for them. I believe in patience, but I also believe that if something is not working, there is another method out there that can work, and we should use it. If a student I'm working with is struggling with a particular literary work that they need to read...
