About Dawn
With 27 years of classroom experience, I bring a depth of expertise that goes far beyond homework help. I am a certified Elementary Education teacher with additional certifications in Special Education and Reading — a combination that allows me to diagnose learning gaps, differentiate instruction, and accelerate student growth with precision.
For over 17 years, I taught 3rd grade, the pivotal year when students transition from learning to read to reading to learn, and from basic math facts to deeper problem-solving. I have also taught 2nd grade and served in departmentalized upper elementary settings teaching 5th and 6th grade math. This full-spectrum experience gives me a unique understanding of how foundational skills connect to upper-level expectations.
Families who work with me are not just paying for a tutoring session — they are investing in:
• Nearly three decades of instructional expertise
• Deep knowledge of elementary curriculum standards
• Specialized training in reading intervention and special education
• The ability to quickly identify root causes of struggle
• Structured, research-based strategies that build independence
• Clear communication and measurable progress
I specialize in building strong conceptual understanding, especially in mathematics, where many students struggle due to gaps in number sense and problem-solving strategies. My approach is intentional, systematic, and confidence-driven. Students do not just complete assignments — they develop mastery.
After 27 years in education, I understand how to move students from frustration to fluency, from confusion to clarity, and from avoidance to confidence.
If you are looking for experienced, high-quality instruction that delivers long-term results, I would be honored to support your child’s academic growth.

Hi! I’m Ms. Scott, a dedicated elementary math teacher with years of experience helping students in grades K–6 truly understand math — not just memorize it.
I specialize in building strong foundations in:
️ Addition & Subtraction Fluency
️ Multiplication & Division Strategies
️ Fractions & Decimals
️ Word Problems
️ Place Value & Number Sense
️ Test Prep & Homework Support
My Teaching Style
I believe math should make sense.
Many students struggle because they are taught tricks before they understand the “why.” I break concepts down using visuals, models, and step-by-step strategies so students feel confident and capable.
I focus on:
Concept before speed
Clear explanations
Visual models (arrays, number lines, area models)
Strategy-based problem solving
Growth mindset and confidence building
Students leave sessions saying, “Ohhh, that makes sense now!”
Who I Help
I work with:
Students who feel behind and need foundational support
Students who struggle with math anxiety
Students who need homework help
Students preparing for state tests
Advanced learners who want enrichment
What Parents Can Expect
Clear communication after sessions
Personalized lessons based on your child’s needs
Progress monitoring
A patient, encouraging learning environment
My goal is not just better grades — it’s long-term confidence in math.
