Writing Tutoring

Hey there! I’m Riana, teacher, tutor, book enthusiast, and expert at turning learning into something kids get excited about. I create hands-on, interactive reading lessons that help students connect with stories, think critically, and actually enjoy the learning process. My tutoring sessions are filled with creativity, conversation, and confidence-building moments. Mistakes are welcome here — they mean we’re trying, learning, and moving forward together.

Hi my name is Stephanie! I have been teaching for 10 years and have a Masters in Teaching and a Bachelors in Education and Spanish. I have primarily taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for kindergarteners through 8th graders in my home state of New Jersey. I am certified in Elementary Education (K-6), Spanish, and ESL. I truly believe that online learning can be fun and engaging for learners of all ages. I make sure to incorporate gamification into my lessons and connect the content to my students' interests. I also set strategic goals with my students to ensure that our online learning is effective. Outside of teaching, I love going on adventures with my three kids and spending time with my dog- Teddy and my chickens! I can't wait to get to know you and your family!

My name is Kristin Ritz and I have been teaching since 2011, after receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education.

I have 5 years of experience teaching Kindergarten through 4th grade in North Carolina. My main subjects include ELA, Math, Social Studies, and Science. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master's of Arts in History. My licensure in Elementary Education K-6 ensures that I have the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach young learners. I am passionate about making learning fun and engaging for my students, and I am ready to bring that energy to our 1:1 sessions at Dojo Tutor! Besides English, I do not speak any other languages fluently. However, I am always eager to learn new things and I believe that our diverse backgrounds and experiences can enrich our learning journey together. To make online learning enjoyable for my students, I incorporate what they like and make it relatable to the lesson. I also give them the first two minutes of our session to tell me about their day and how they are doing, creating a welcoming and safe space for them to share their thoughts and feelings. In terms of effectiveness, I set clear learning goals, am consistent with my teaching, and use active learning techniques to keep my learners engaged. My personal interests and hobbies, such as learning new things, reading, and traveling, influence my teaching style and methodology. I love to bring real-world knowledge and experiences into the classroom to enhance student learning. When I'm not teaching, I can be found trying new foods, shopping, or spending time with my family and friends. I am excited to get to know you and your family and create a fun and effective learning experience for your child!

I have been teaching for 12 years, specializing in grades 1-5 in various states including New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. My passion for education led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Psychology, with an emphasis on building positive learning environments and promoting growth in young learners. I am also a certified elementary teacher for grades K-6. In my spare time, I love to read, hike, bike, explore new restaurants, and spend time at the beach. These interests also influence my teaching style as I love finding ways to connect with my students through shared hobbies and interests. As an online tutor, I strive to make learning fun and engaging by using interactive stories, math manipulatives, and collaborative writing activities. I also use assessments and practice to ensure that your child is making progress and retaining the material. Let's work together to build a love for learning in your child!

My name is Sara Schmidt. I have over 25 years of experience in education. I taught K-5 Reading intervention for 20 years in a public school. I have also taught kindergarten and virtual first grade. I am currently an instructional literacy coach for a major Ed Tech company. I get to travel around the United States and coach teachers in reading.

I have been teaching for 5 years and have had the privilege of working with learners in Pre-K, 2nd, 5th, and 6th grade. In Pre-K and 2nd grade, I have taught every subject, and in 5th and 6th grade, I focused on social studies. I believe that every subject is important and should be fun, engaging, and tailored to each individual learner's needs I have taught in Tennessee, where I am from, and I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. Currently, I am working towards obtaining my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am also certified in Elementary Education K-5 and Early Childhood Education. 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!
