Hi. I am a semi-retired business owner who spent 30+ years in recruiting in the high tech area of Silicon Valley. A great deal of my work was with small firms or "startups".

Sheila

Comprehension-Oriented Tutoring for Elementary-School Subjects

I am a former K-8 teacher who is highly skilled in the teaching of all elementary-school subject matter. My tutoring is oriented around first discovering the place where the student's understanding is temporarily blocked, and then finding creative ways to break through that blockage so that the student truly understands the subject and his/her natural abilities are revealed and promoted. I have accomplished my objective as a tutor only when the student no longer needs me to succeed in the are... Read more
