20+ Years Of Home School Experience - PSA And Charter School

Responds within a few days

From 1998 to 2019, I successfully home schooled 4 children K-12: the two oldest have jobs in their majors (CPA finance, Marketing), the youngest are sophomores in college with junior status (Business and Chemistry). All received full-tuition or up to 90% of their tuition in scholarships. Did you know the most recent (NAEP) test scores show that only 1/3 of 8th graders are proficient in math, reading, writing, science, and history? HS seniors scored lower. Data released in April, 2020, shows that only 15% of 8th graders can explain the significance of people, places, events, ideas, and documents in history. Would you like to supplement your child's education with some of the best home-education curriculum available? Are you considering a learning pod with friends and neighbors to offset the cost of in-person teaching? Would you like to expose your child to educational experiences and materials that will create a life-long love of learning? I would love to share with you!

I am currently in my second year of college. Throughout highschool, I earned high grades in Honors Literature, AP Language, and AP Literature. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to teach your child/student the proper techniques to achieve high marks on their assignments. My teaching method would be entirely online due to COVID-19, therefore it will be online.

Hi, I'm Izzy! I have worked for two college professors as an English tutor. I've worked with only college students, however, I am more than happy to work with kids, as well. My duties as their tutor were to keep up with the assigned reading in both classes in order to help them fully understand the text, help construct and proofread essays (students usually needed more help with the thesis), take notes in class for the students to refer back to, make study guides for final exams, and dedicate anywhere between 30 minutes to three hours with each students multiple times every week. I would also report back to the professor on progress. I also assisted an ASL professor by tutoring her students in class.

Tutor

I have the privilege of having two younger brothers and as I got older, my parents became busier and I was always helping them get their grades up. I have also spent time as a nanny for many beautiful kids who I was able to help with reading, math, art and science subjects. Teaching also contributed to my college experience and I spent a lot of time trying to and succeeding in helping struggling peers with English, Writing, French, History and more. I enjoy working with everyone, regardless of age and I try to make learning as enjoyable and focused as possible so that an epitome of understanding can be reached. My Bio lists my Associate's degree but I am furthering my education now in University of California Irvine to a Bachelor of Arts, studying in the field of Psychology and Social behavior. I am confident that I can teach to a point of improvement in understanding and application in the subjects I can offer. If you need instruction other than what I mentioned, message me.

I am very loving and nurturing and enjoy giving little ones the tenderness and attentiveness they need. I enjoy teaching them through reading, playtime and outdoor-time. My priority is to provide a loving, secure and well-rounded environment and I believe that consistency is key in keeping little ones happy and healthy.

It's like experiencing everything for the first time! Taking care of little ones is a genuine joy for me. I was with my most recent family for almost 4 years.

Through the years, she has also served as an excellent resource on everything from teething and diapers to napping patterns and developmental benchmarks, invaluable for first time parents like my husband and I. We will miss Kim dearly when my son begins pre-K. Did I mention that she's prepared him for school by teaching him letters, numbers, and counting? I can't recommend Kim enough. She is a truly outstanding nanny!
