Gig Harbor Tutors

Hi! I'm Tyler. I currently hold a Masters Degree in Teaching English for grades 5-12 in Washington and earned my Bachelors in Communication from Western Washington University back in 2009. As a substitute teacher and part-time tutor, I am dedicated to making school more interesting and strive to help students see the purpose and necessity for strong English skills. I have an innate passion for adapting my instruction to fit the individual needs and strengths of each student to help them grow in their confidence and reach their educational goals. Whether your child is struggling to pass their English class or they could use some extra help spicing up their college essay, I am confident that we can make progress together. I can also accommodate small groups as long as the subject area is closely related.

I have 5 years of classroom experience teaching elementary school and would tutor some of my students during the summers between school years. I am currently getting back into the profession after staying at home with my 5-year-old daughter, whom I have homeschooled since she was born.

I am planning on homeschooling my children. I love helping people learn. I was a star student and aced calculus and physics as well as AP English. I did very well on my standardized tests as well although it's been a while so I forget the exact scores.

I have six years experience teaching elementary school and often helped my students excel on state testing, particularly in math. I am GATE certified for teaching gifted students and, being bilingual, I helped many ELL students improve their English. I have over 8 years experience teaching Spanish for children and adults. My philosophy of teaching a second language is through immersion, so often lessons involve TPR (total physical response), songs and short phrases. I am currently working part time as the Executive Director of a youth orchestra with 100+ students and 4 conductors.

I am a retired grandmother who worked with the Bainbridge Island School District for 20 years. In that position, I worked with children of all ages. In 2015, I retired and moved to Sammamish where I became a full time nanny to a family with 3 children. Two have been in school and the younger child was in my care daily. We have visited parks, the zoo, and swimming lessons. He is now attending preschool and I am responsible for his drop off and pick up. In addition to this family, I have also been working late afternoons providing care for 2 children helping with homework and bath time. I have another family with an infant I care for on weekends. All families are willing to be references for me. In November, my husband and I relocated to Gig Harbor and I am now looking for another family of young children to care for and nurture. I would love to help them pursue their interests. I have an interest in the arts, reading, and music. I would love to care for your child.

Hello, I am an energetic mother of 3 older children. They are out of the house (one working and 2 in college). I have been happily married for 30 years. I attended college for approximately 3 years. My major was Psychology. I did take many classes in Child Development, which came in handy for me in the raising my own children. While attending college I worked in a preschool and for an airline. Although my work as a preschool teacher was long ago, I still have quite a repertoire of songs and art projects. I worked as a flight attendant and in management for 17 years. The recurrent annual training in first aid, CPR and safety emergencies was ingrained in my mind. In addition to my calm under pressure attitude, on the occasions when I was put to the test, I felt I was well prepared. Later, when I worked in In-Flight Management I was responsible for managing a group 200 flight attendants. In addition to this, I would work in the hiring and training of new flight attendants. With the closing of the airlines West Coast operations, and the birth of my third child, I decided to stay home. My time raising my children was busy, but I always found time to work in their classrooms, volunteer for heading up fundraisers and teaching religious Sunday classes to 2nd and 3rd graders, (lots of arts and crafts) and other community charities. I have always been drawn to working with children. I love to work with babies and watch and assist in their development. I also love working with school age children as well. I enjoy tutoring, homework help, arts and crafts, hiking/walking and preparing healthy snacks or meals. As a mom, I know how precious your children are to you! I know that you need to have piece of mind that they are in good hands when you are away. So safety, of course is the most crucial, but also providing a nurturing, and stimulating environment is important. I'm confident I can give you and your child/children the highest level of care. Thank you for considering me for your childcare needs. Sincerely, Colleen.

Hello my name is Natalie, i'm 15 1/2 years old, and I love babysitting! I can meal prep, help your kids out with their homework, and do light house-keeping. I am VERY animal friendly so I would love to take your dog for a walk, feed the animals etc. I am the perfect babysitter for if you are out on a date, or if you need a babysitter on the weekends. My parents would be willing drop me off/ pick me up after I babysit. Once i'm 16 I will be getting my drivers license immediately, so then I would be able to drive myself! My experience is for around a year I babysat twins from one family, and a 3-year-old from another family. The twins were 9 months old when I first babysat them. The reason why I stopped babysitting them was because I moved from Federal Way, to Gig Harbor. I was a cit (counselor in training) last summer. Feel free to message me! I look forward to hearing from you, and caring for your little ones!!

Morals: I maintain a child-friendly and safe environment at all times. I believe in interaction with the children such as: helping with homework, doing crafts, and supporting intellect.

I previously was a part time Nanny for an 8-year-old boy. I worked with him for over a year and still occasionally care for him. My duties included after school care, tutoring, occasional pick up and caring out his medical practices before bed. My position ended due to my temporary relocation to Thailand as an exchange student. Aside from the above position, I have worked with many families as a "date night" babysitter and tutor for primary school children.
