Qualification:

MA of Education at Claremont Graduate University

Experience:

I have more than 7 years of classroom experience. In my professional career, I have personally worked with +14,000 scholars while teaching in 4 countries. I recently completed my MA of Education at Claremont Graduate University. This program gave me new insights and strategies to make me a more effective educator, as well as the technical know-how to navigate the education system. I am a fully-credentialed teacher in the state of California, and I hold additional certifications in TESOL (Teaching of English as a Second Language) and CPR. I am a recipient of the Segal Education Award, given to those who complete more than 1,700 hours of educational community service (I’ve completed more than 2,000). After receiving my Masters, I left the classroom to start my own education company. Using the curriculum I personally designed, I have taught more than 1,000 1-on-1 sessions since early 2021.

Approach:

I have a 3-step process when beginning work with your scholar. First, I have an in-depth conversation with the parent, during which time we’ll discuss why they are seeking tutoring for their scholar, what specific improvements they hope to see, and their short/long-term academic goals. Second, I will administer a grade-level assessment in order to gauge the scholar’s current level of reading, writing, or spoken English. This data serves two purposes: it will determine the most appropriate group for the child’s enrollment, and it will inform my instruction as to how I can most effectively teach them. Third, after the initial assessment, the parent and I will reconnect to discuss what it reveals. After analyzing the results, we may amend our initial strategy to be more closely tailored to the child’s learning experience. Additionally, I will identify key areas of growth, and my strategy for helping the scholar improve. Finally, after an agreed interval has passed (typically 6-8 weeks), I will administer the same assessment again, this time comparing the results against the initial evaluation. This will give us both a chance to compare notes, discuss the most effective strategies, and any other changes to make future tutoring more successful.
