About Leah
Experience: 5 yrs
Hi there! My name is Leah, and I truly love working with preschool and elementary age students. I am a fully credentialed multiple subject teacher (elementary school) in California with a master's degree in Urban Education. I have 5 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I taught second grade for 3 years, and I also taught summer school with students ranging in age from kindergarten to fifth grade. Additionally, I have experience tutoring preschool age students letters and beginning math concepts in preparation for kindergarten both in person and virtually via Zoom. I also have experience tutoring younger elementary students phonics via Zoom. I am particularly passionate about working with elementary age students because their tremendous potential for growth. I particularly enjoy teaching reading and math. I am available to tutor in person in the greater Irvine, CA area as well as virtually. Pricing depends on in person/virtual as well as hours committed each week.
Most recent review
We hired Leah during the pandemic because our son had fallen way behind grade level for reading with virtual school. She met with him twice a week for reading lessons online (it was a huge relief that she was able to make it work since I'm immune compromised, and I'm confident that she'd be really effective in person as well), and our son always looked forward to meeting with her. She was kind and engaging and managed to get our son back up to grade level before starting in person again this year. If either of my kids started falling behind on anything ever again I would hire Leah again in a heartbeat. You can tell she really cares about kids, she was always willing to accommodate our schedule, and she always showed up on time and completely prepared. I really can't recommend her enough!
