Experience
Hi, my name is Tiffany! Do you have a child who struggles with reading? Are you at your wit's end with getting your child to improve his or her grades? Do you see your child's self-esteem plummet with each failed test and each low report card? Well, worry no more! I know what you are going through and I can help. Here's how... I started out my teaching career as a reading specialist for struggling readers in grades 1 through 6. I am trained in a program called Next Steps, which was designed by educators at the University of Utah, for readers below grade level. All of the students that I tutored saw significant improvements in reading and writing by the end of the school year. I then moved on to become a regular first grade teacher at Legacy Prep Academy for two years. During this time, I was able to further hone my skills in making learning fun and engaging. I believe this is the key to motivating students to do well in school. While I taught full time, I had a part time job as a martial arts instructor for children ages 3 to 17, which eventually became my full-time career. Not only did I train students physically, but I trained them mentally. I taught my students about goal setting, never giving up, and how to believe in themselves. As a former teacher and a martial arts instructor, I am uniquely equipped to help struggling students both academically and socially. Although a student begins to get better grades in school, we often overlook the fact that struggling students may suffer from prolonged low self-esteem and maybe even peer bullying. My tutoring method takes all of that into account to provide you with a more well-rounded and holistic experience. Teaching Style: I make learning relavant to each specific student by getting to know their interests. I also teach using many different modalities as everyone learns differently. I use pictues, sound, and tactile objects to help your child grasp concepts in the ways they learn best. Contact me today to get your child on the path to success!
