Cheryl $30 per hour for 1 child

TUTOR..KINDERGARTEN - 3RD GRADE (FULLERTON, BREA, ANAHEIM, YORBA LINDA, PLACENTIA) offered in person Hi, my name is Cheryl. I would like to invite you to allow me to TUTOR your child in your home, or local library. I tutor students from Kindergarten through 3rd grade. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and I spent 14 years as a public school teacher. This gave me a plethora of skills I use today, working one on one with students in KINDERGARTEN - 3rd GRADE. I have been tutoring for over 20 years. I also have 4 years of teaching 2nd grade students in an a after school program called "THINK TOGETHER." I worked with students in Santa Ana. This program consisted of about 20 students per teacher. I provided help to students with homework, reading skills, language arts, mathematics, writing, and art. I am not trained in teaching autistic children, but I do have experience working with autistic students. I tutor most of the students I have now skills ranging from reading, writing, math, language arts, and help with homework. I hope to hear from you to discuss hiring me as a tutor for your child. I have a positive approach to my tutoring which is focused on the highest potential for your child.
