Jill K. - Seattle Tutor or Private Instructor

Profile of Jill K.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I love working with children! My experience and qualifications include developing a children's software program for preschool through first grade. To help me in this endeavor, in 2006 I volunteered in a Seattle Public School kindergarten class. It was fun to be in the classroom to see how it's done today. For the past two years, I've been tutoring in the Powerful Readers Program for struggling and early readers at the New School in Columbia City. I tutored grades kindergarten through second grade, one-on-one and worked with educators, as well. Please see my attached resume for more information and my key qualifications. I work one-on-one with students, grades K-2. The Powerful Readers Program is a structured program of proven techniques for helping early and struggling readers learn to read proficiently. I have worked with children with disciplinary issues, learning issues (such as ADHD), students who are behind for other reason, as well as ELL students. I picked up the students from class four days a week. In the reading area, we tutor each student for approximately 25 minutes. I feel I am able to help the student to feel good about themselves and their work, as we build their self confidence. In addition to helping them become an excellent reader, my goal is to help them change any negative image.
Related Hobbies and Interests
My passion is learning foreign language and cultures. I have an M.A. in Near Eastern Studies and have learned Arabic, Persian, a little Hebrew, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. I love the outdoors and reading!
