As a result of my years of educational experience and training, I have several areas of academic strength in which I have been able to help my students progress in various subjects. I have taught/tutored students from age 3 to the age of 21, students who are at the pre primer level through college. These students were in my classroom or I worked with them, online or in person, as to help them improve their skill development in areas where they were deficient. In addition, I have worked as an after school tutor for students who want to work on increasing their performance level in the classroom.

Position Hours and placement:
The position I am looking for would be to work approximately 25 hours a week, plus travel time during the summer and school year.
However, if I were to work via Skype or Zoom, I would like to work up to 35 hours. This format allows me to work with the child/student in the home, which cuts down on the traffic time for both of us and allows the students to have everything on their desk.
Hours:
Part time: 25 hours a week between 10-3 during the summer
25 hours a week between 3-7 during the school year
-Occasional Saturday between 10-3 during the entire year
I would be willing to work the following hours on line: (zoom or Skype)
35 hours a week between 10-4 during the summer
35 hours a week between 3-8 during the school year
-Every Saturday between 10-3 during the entire year
