1st & 2nd Grade Tutoring

Empowering young learners to thrive.

Whohoo—your child is officially a big kid!

1st and 2nd grade is such an exciting time for young students who are just starting to figure out who they are and what they love doing.

It’s also a turning point when the pace and pressure of school begin to pick up, and extracurricular activities start taking up more time. As your child gets into the swing of school, there might be times when they need help understanding content, and you need help explaining it.

Benefits of Becoming a Little Learner

Big dreams start with small steps.

One of the best things about tutoring is that you don’t have to have all the answers.

During this new academic chapter, your child might need help with reading or spelling. Or maybe they need a little extra practice with math. Whatever the case, I can help your child walk into school feeling confident and ready to learn!

Using personalized lessons and play-based activities, I work with kids of all academic levels to improve their skills and help them become confident learners. I enjoy using a blend of learning techniques to help kids work through challenging concepts and master content. I also provide at-home activities to ensure your child has consistent practice. Best of all, I teach with play-based activities because kids learn best when they’re having fun!

  • Tutoring by a Teacher

    I tutor students using grade-level curriculum based on district standards to ensure they get the best education possible.

  • Personalized Lessons

    I tailor sessions to your child’s learning style and move through content at their pace to provide a positive learning experience.

  • Online and In-Person Sessions

    Tutoring sessions are offered in person in Beaverton, Oregon, and online (via Zoom) from the comfort of your home.

  • Flexible Scheduling

    Scheduling is quick and easy. Simply choose a day and time that works best for your family, and you’re good to go!

  • One-on-One Instruction

    During sessions, your child only works with me, ensuring they have consistent support and a stress-free environment.

  • Progress Assessments

    Assessments are given throughout your child’s time as a Little Learner to identify learning gaps and help them meet academic goals.
