Former teacher wants to help one on one

Methodology

I am a medically retired elementary school teacher who was certified to teacher all the core subjects. I believe that a student who needs assistance needs to cover the very basic elements of whatever subject they are struggling with. Many years ago, when my son was a struggling reader in the 3rd grade, I was told that reading needed to be "fun". The teacher didn't seem to understand that reading would never be fun until he understood and comprehended the words. This required an increased vocabulary and understanding of those words. I see my job as helping you master the basics of your grade so that you can master the hard things.
