Coding Tutoring for Preschool

I have been teaching for 14 years, in all grade levels from kindergarten through middle school.

I was born and raised in South Florida, attended college in North Carolina, moved to California to work with elementary students, then returned to the east coast, settling in Maryland to teach, tutor, coach, and develop content.

With 18 years of teaching experience, I am thrilled to bring my expertise to 1:1 sessions with learners at Dojo Tutor. Throughout my career, I have taught a variety of grades and subjects, including 2nd grade, 5th grade Math, Early Childhood, and Technology. I have had the pleasure of teaching in the great state of New Jersey, where I have helped countless kids grow and succeed. I hold a Computer Science Degree from William Paterson College, as well as a K-5 Teaching Certification and 11 IT Certification. Outside of teaching, you can find me playing tennis or hanging out with my pet turtle. I believe that getting to know my learners and incorporating their interests into our lessons makes for a fun and engaging learning experience. My goal is to keep our lessons focused and effective by constantly checking in and reviewing material. Let's work together to make learning a blast.

Hi there! I’m Mrs. B—a longtime educator with over 20 years of classroom experience, a STEM certificate from Notre Dame, and a big love for helping kids grow. I specialize in K–8 tutoring across reading, math, social studies, general academics, and coding. My goal is to make learning joyful, inclusive, and confidence-boosting for every student I work with. 💜 I love to …read, garden, paint, camp, and sing! I’m a big fan of animals, history, music and spending time with my family. I bring that same joy and curiosity into every tutoring session.

Hello families. My name is Lisa Papa and I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade reading, writing, and mathematics for 25 years, 20 of those years at a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. I have extensive experience in and resources for these areas. I have tutored kids in reading, writing, and mathematics grades PK-9 throughout my years as a teacher and I have conducted reteach and enrich groups for reading and mathematics as well. I have read thousands of children’s books so if your child is a reluctant reader I can recommend books they may like based on their interests or other books they have liked in the past. In addition to my years of experience, I have taken hundreds of hours of professional development classes in reading, writing, and mathematics including classes with Barry Lane, Sue Yokum, Fred Jones, and other reading, writing, and math masters and leaders. I look forward to being a partner with you and your child's teacher to help your child on their educational journey. My goal is for every student to love learning and to feel success and happiness at school. I know at the top of the profile in the Quick Look section it says I have 22 years experience, but then when you read the paragraph about my teaching experience it says 25 years. I have been working with Class Dojo tutoring since it started in 2022 and the Quick Look info hasn't been updated since then, but I do update my profile paragraph regularly so it has the most up-to-date information for you. I thought it was important you know why the numbers seem like they don't match.

I have been teaching for 36 years, working with children in kindergarten through 4th grade. My expertise lies in teaching subjects such as reading, math, science and social studies. I have a deep passion for education and love helping young learners reach their full potential. I am currently based in Virginia. My educational background includes a degree in Elementary Education and Educational Technology Leadership. I also hold certifications specifically designed for teaching children in grades PK-4 and 4-8. These qualifications have equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach and guide young learners. I have experience teaching children with a variety of needs and love working with all children. While I do not hold a Special Education certificate I have support students wth special needs in my classes and was an Instructional Coach for the Students Services Department of my school division. I have also worked with ESL students and their teachers to find ways to help them acquire the English Language. However, I do not speak other languages so it would be helpful if your child could understand some English to make a successful experience. For the last 20 years, I have served as an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher, which involves helping teachers look at their curriculum and develop ways to make it more engaging with technology. Through this work, I have learned of many tools to use with children to help make learning academic concepts easier. I cannot wait to start this learning journey with your family!

With 20 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege to work with learners from Kindergarten to 5th grade in subjects such as a Math, Reading, Writing, and Computer Science Teacher. Originally from Oklahoma, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and an Oklahoma Teaching Certificate. I am passionate about making online learning fun and engaging for learners by bringing a fun attitude, using engaging material, and personalizing content just for them. To ensure effective online learning, I use various strategies such as using the learner's name, repeating expectations, redirecting unwanted behaviors, and being aware of their environment. Outside of teaching, I love to use my video editing skills, playing video games, watching movies/TV shows, spending time with family, and woodworking. These interests also influence my teaching style as I try to incorporate technology whenever appropriate. I am looking forward to getting to know your family and creating a stimulating and enjoyable learning experience for your kids. Let's have some fun!

I have been teaching for 14 years, primarily working with learners in Kindergarten through 6th grade, this gives me an understanding on how each grade level's learning fits within the larger picture of a student's long range learning. I have taught all subjects, but for the last 8 years, I have focused on math with secondary subjects of reading or science. I have experience teaching in IL, KY, IN, and CO, which has allowed me to work with diverse groups of learners, understand multiple state standards, and understand different learning styles. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and I am certified in K-8 Self-Contained Elementary Education.

Kids thrive when learning feels clear and possible. That’s the aim of every session here. Your child gets steady, confidence-building support shaped around their strengths, challenges, and ways of thinking. Progress becomes visible. Stress eases. Curiosity opens back up. I’m Dr. Jo Groene, a teacher and researcher with over twenty years of experience helping students reconnect with learning. My Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction guides the human-centered approach your child will experience here.
