About Rebecca
My mother was a teacher. I grew up watching her and sometimes helping her in the classroom. In my teens, I started working in a childcare center. The first time I decided I wanted to be a teacher was while I was working at Fraser in an autism classroom. Since that time, my passion has only grown. I have discovered a great love for teaching reading as a tutor in the past 7 years.
My father is an author and publisher. I have had the privilege of working with him on his research. He taught me the value of research and the value of words. He taught me the value of a good story. I enjoy writing in my free time.
I have over 20 years of experience working both in the classroom and as a private tutor. I have worked as a tutor and undone training through AMericorp. I have a BA in Psychology from Augsburg University and several graduate credits towards my masters in education. I have undergone several trainings. I am certified as an Orton-Gillingham reading tutor. I have experience working with all academic levels.

The first part of my tutoring process is getting some information about my student from a caregiver. I like to map out a plan and get an idea what is the most important subjects to focus on, strengths and weaknesses.
Next I will meet with the student. I will get to know them. I will learn what the student likes and dislikes. This can be helpful in knowing how the student likes to learn. If the student likes art, I many use more visual tools to teach and more color.
In the beginning, I find it important to assess where the student is at academically. This is especially helpful when I am using the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading. I want to know what phonograms they know. I want to get an idea of the student's reading level and reading fluency. For math, I want to know what basic facts they know and how good the student's number sense is.
Lastly, I will discuss with the parents my pricing system, how many sessions I feel the student needs, the length of sessions, and the number of times per week I would like to see the student. I discuss my observations of the students academic strengths and weaknesses. I build a plan with the student's goals and share with the parent what a typical session will look like. I ask for their input.
I have worked with students pre-k through middle school. I have worked with students of all abilities. I enjoy working with students that have special needs, but am just as comfortable with students at grade level.
I would tell a student looking to hire a teacher that the student is in charge of his/her own education. Students can decide what is helpful and what is not in a tutor. I would tell the student to consider exactly what the student wants and needs in a teacher before the first meeting.
I recently had a student ask me to teach his children some day. It was a huge compliment to me. I knew at that point he was getting something out of it. This particular student has a learning disability. He was unable to decode and encode simple three letter words. His reading level has gone from a G, less than a year ago, to an O. His recent IEP showed his test scores have gone from meetings his goals 25% of the time to 75%. I am so proud of our three years together. I love watching how proud he is of his accomplishments.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out

What are my pitfalls?
What are my goals?
What are the qualities I am looking for in a teacher?

I have been fortunate to have Becca in my son’s academic life for the last few years. He was struggling in both reading and Math before Becca started tutoring him. He has improved so much since then and really enjoys working with Becca. She makes the session fun, uses different methods to make him understand concepts and also gives me feedback at the end of the sessions.
