Spelling Tutoring

Hi, my name is Ms. Dedra. I have been an educator for over 25 years. I have taught across a wide range of learning environments, including Montessori, Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade, as well as PreK–8 Reading, Phonics and Math Intervention. I am passionate about meeting students where they are and supporting their academic growth through individualized, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instruction. In my spare time, I enjoy watching football, traveling, attending concerts, and spending time outdoors. I look forward to meeting you and your child to help make learning something they look forward to.

Hi! I am Andrea and I am excited to work with your child. I have been teaching for 8 years now. I taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd during my first two years in teaching and transition to SPED class where I taught one-on-one and students who are socially/emotionally challenged for a year. Currently, I'm teaching children with Autism in an intermediate class for 4 years. I am a graduate of Bachelor of Elementary Education specialization in Special Education and recently got my Master’s Degree in Special Education as well. I have two teaching licenses: Philippines & USA. Teaching these children and seeing them grow and learn as an individual gives me a sense of fulfillment. I help them set a goal up and always motivate them intrinsically and extrinsically to reach their goals. As a teacher, I make sure that the learning is fun, effective and incorporates their interests. For example, if they like Disney princesses or sports, then I’ll use it as part of my lesson and of course as a reward for them. During distance learning, it challenged me how to teach these children virtually. Fortunately, with the training sessions I attended and resources I had, it made the teaching fun and enjoyable to the children. I incorporate different styles of learning such as body movements, discussion, picture aids and more. Learning online can be so exciting and enjoyable. I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi! I'm Miss Lofton. I was born in San Francisco, California and currently live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a bachelor's degree from Spelman College and a masters degree from National-Louis University. I am currently working on my doctorate in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for over 10 years with experience teaching kindergarteners and 4th graders. I love teaching students different strategies to read and complete math problems. I also have experience teaching special education students and English language learners. I’ve tutored children and adults virtually since 2017. In my classes, I will ask students questions about themselves so I can get to know them better so I can tailor-make slides for them. I also have a lot of joy with students so you may hear me sing or get overexcited when your student gets something correct. Thank you for considering me in being your child's tutor.

I have been teaching for 4 years and have experience teaching learners in Kindergarten through 6th grade in a variety of subjects, including Math, Reading, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. I have taught in both Alabama and Florida, gaining a diverse range of teaching experience in different regions. I hold a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Elementary Education and have a Florida Teaching Certificate and Reading Endorsement. My goal as a tutor is to make learning enjoyable and effective for all of my students by using a hands-on approach and implementing different strategies. To make online learning fun and engaging, I like to incorporate interactive activities into my lessons. I encourage learners to answer questions on their screens by writing or clicking on the correct answers. This not only helps to keep learners engaged, but also allows me to assess their understanding of the material. In addition to this, I make sure to frequently pause and check for understanding before moving on to new concepts. This ensures that learners are able to grasp the material and make progress in their learning journey. Outside of teaching, I have a few hobbies that I am passionate about. I am a dance instructor, which influences my teaching style by allowing me to create songs, chants, and movements to help learners understand certain concepts. I also enjoy drawing, which comes in handy when drawing out math problems to better visualize them. And lastly, I love spending time with my dog, King! He helps me make real world connections and adds a fun element to our lessons. I can't wait to get to know you and your family and help your kids reach their full potential in their education!

These interests have influenced my teaching style, as I strive to incorporate elements of fun and engagement into my sessions.

In Pre-K and 2nd grade, I have taught every subject, and in 5th and 6th grade, I focused on social studies.

My goal as a tutor is to create a safe and supportive learning environment for my learners. Learning should be enjoyable and effective, no matter the setting. That's why I love incorporating hands-on activities, technology, and movement into my lessons. My students often don't realize they're learning because they're having so much fun! I also establish a routine and goals for my learners to ensure their success. Outside of teaching, I love serving at my local church and volunteering in media. I believe my creative approach to teaching is influenced by my love for media and technology. I can't wait to share my passion for learning with your family and see your learner succeed!

I have 7 years of experience teaching in Idaho. I hold a BA in Elementary Education K-8 and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. My teaching philosophy is simple: every learner is unique and capable of achieving great things! As a tutor at Dojo Tutor, I bring my love for learning and my passion for making education fun to every online session. I believe that one of the keys to successful learning is to make it enjoyable for kids, and meet them where they are at. I take the time to get to know each of my students - what they like and what they need. Is your child into dinosaurs? Perfect, we'll incorporate that into our reading lessons. Do they love music? Great, let's use songs to help them memorize math facts. I love the beach, I love cats, I love chocolate. I also enjoy music and theater, and like to make small moments feel larger than life. I hope to get to know my students as I believe that building a strong relationship with my learners is key to effective learning, and that includes being interested in their lives and what makes them unique. I can't wait to get to know you and your family and help your child reach their full potential!
