Tutoring to Fit Your Needs
Individualized Learning Plans
Every child learns at their own pace and in their own style. We create customized learning plans that take into account the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. This tailored approach ensures that each session is meaningful and effective.
Engaging & Interactive Sessions
Gone are the days of dull tutoring sessions! We incorporate hands-on activities, games, and digital printables that align with the learning objectives, making the experience enjoyable and stimulating for students. Engaging content keeps them motivated and eager to learn.
Focus on Building Confidence
Academic achievement is not just about grades; it's also about building self-esteem. Our tutors work diligently to encourage and support students, helping them overcome challenges and celebrate their successes. This holistic approach fosters a positive attitude towards learning.
Integration of Montessori Principles
We love to incorporate Montessori methods, emphasizing independence, curiosity, and self-directed learning. By allowing students to explore subjects at their own rate and choice, we cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation for knowledge.
Parent Involvement
We understand that parents play a crucial role in a child’s education. We actively encourage communication with parents to keep them informed about their child's progress, discuss strategies for continued support at home, and celebrate milestones together.
Stopping the Summer Slide
Our tutoring does not stop with the school year. We offer special summer programs designed to prevent the “summer slide,” ensuring students maintain their skills while having fun exploring new topics. These sessions incorporate exploration of God's creation, bringing the world around us into the learning experience.

In-Person.
In-person tutoring provides a personalized learning experience that aligns with each child's individual needs and interests. In a warm and welcoming environment, children engage in hands-on activities that promote exploration, independence, and a love for learning.
During in-person sessions, I introduce materials that correspond to key Montessori principles—such as tactile learning, sensory exploration, and self-directed activity. This fosters critical thinking skills while encouraging children to work at their own pace.
Sessions often include activities in practical life skills, sensorial exploration, and foundational academic subjects like math and language (Science of Reading based). By using beautifully crafted Montessori materials, children make connections and understand concepts deeply, rather than through rote memorization.
The benefits of in-person tutoring extend beyond academics; it also supports social-emotional growth. Children learn to communicate, collaborate, and build confidence in their abilities. Parents are kept in the loop with regular updates and insights into their child’s progress, creating a partnership in the educational journey.
With tailored lesson plans and a nurturing approach, in-person Montessori tutoring is a valuable resource to inspire a lifelong passion for learning in young children.

Virtual.
Expat family or homeschool parent wanting to learn how to implement Science of Reading into your curriculum?
In a virtual setting, I can utilize various digital tools to create an inviting learning environment. The use of virtual manipulatives, interactive storytelling, and multimedia resources makes the learning process enjoyable and effective. Parents are an integral part of virtual student tutoring.
Sessions may include the following components:
Phonemic Awareness: Activities designed to develop the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes. This can include using sound games or digital apps that promote auditory skills.
Vocabulary Expansion: Introduce new words through thematic units, utilizing visuals and engaging texts that captivate students' interests. Encourage students to explore word meanings by embedding them in context.
Reading Fluency: Focus on guided reading practices that promote smooth and expressive reading. Incorporate repeated readings and paired reading strategies for reinforcement.
Comprehension Strategies: Teach students how to ask questions, make predictions, and summarize stories. Interactive discussions during reading sessions enhance understanding and retention.
Writing Integration: Encourage students to express their thoughts through writing. This may include creative storytelling or responding to books they’ve read, fostering a connection between reading and writing.
Individualized Learning Plans: Each child has unique needs. Assessments and ongoing observations can help tailor sessions to fit their learning styles and progress.
Through virtual tutoring, students not only develop strong reading skills but also gain confidence and independence in their learning. By embracing the Montessori approach, we can ensure that each child has an engaging, personalized education that nurtures their love for reading and exploration.
