I'm good at what I do, and what I do is teach. I'm a licensed Washington teacher with a dual-endorsement BA in Elementary and Special Education. I've taught enough classrooms to know every child can succeed when they get the right support. I help students build real skills, not just finish assignments. I use structure, routine, and clear feedback so students feel capable instead of overwhelmed. I understand how schools work, from grading norms to expectations, and I guide families through the system without stress. I'm not a homework helper. I'm a teacher. My schedule is flexible, and your child's success is my priority. Message me to set up a 60-minute trial. References: Superintendent: "Spencer delivers individualized instruction and reliably supports students with diverse needs." Principal: "He cares about students and challenges them academically."
My wife and I work at a clinic supporting children with ADHD and autism, but we did not have enough time left to help our own teen with ADHD. He was falling so far behind that the school asked whether he should repeat ninth grade or enter summer school. We spoke with Spencer before hiring him and immediately saw that he understood how to work with kids like ours. He built a positive bond with our son, kept sessions structured and routine, learned the exact curriculum, and created a plan with clear lessons, goals, breaks, and ongoing assessments. Most tutors never consider assessments as part of their work, and it made a major difference. Within three weeks, everything started changing. We no longer had nightly battles over homework or evenings where we shut off the WiFi just to get assignments done. Our son was not treated like he was lazy or incapable. Spencer gave him the tools and confidence to succeed, and even his teachers noticed the difference. Spencer’s work kept our son out of summer school and helped repair our relationship with him. For the first time in a long time, we could say we were proud of him and genuinely mean it. We are incredibly grateful for what Spencer gave our family.
