About Cynthia

For the past 17 years, I've been helping elementary students unlock their potential. I hold a graduate degree and am a certified teacher, experienced with Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and student accommodation plans (504). My teaching philosophy centers around building confidence and fostering a love for learning through engaging, patient support. I assess individual learning styles by varying my teaching strategies, encouraging open communication, and seeking feedback. I keep students motivated by celebrating small successes and breaking down complex problems. Communication is essential, so I prioritize open dialogue with students and parents to understand needs and set clear expectations. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring is witnessing a student's "aha!" moment and seeing their confidence grow. I'm comfortable tutoring at various locations and can help with Math, English, Science, Special Education, and History. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.
