About Leigh

Experience: 10 yrs

I believe the one-on-one attention that students receive during tutoring can be a transformative experience for self-confidence and academic success. As a former teacher with over 20 years professional classroom experience, I have assisted students across a wide range of grade levels, subject areas, and individual needs, interests, and learning styles. I have worked with students in both traditional/public and private school settings, from pre-K to 2nd-year college students. My focus as an educator is specifically language-based, with an emphasis on understanding the core language and concepts of any subject area, in order to learn, enjoy learning, and to feel confident and successful as a student at any level. Most recently, I completed 5 years as a lead teacher in a multi-age Montessori elementary classroom for ages 6 - 9 (grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd). I look forward to learning more about your child!

Extremely competent and professional tutor! She works great with my son and is helping him through all of his high school classes. She understands all subjects and is teaching our son to master organization and learning and how the two go hand-in-hand. She is truly accomplishing what me we have been unable to for the last three years - consistent/measurable progress displayed through grade improvement. Thank you Leigh for all your hard work, we appreciate you and what you have done for our son. I highly recommend Leigh and would gladly rehire her before considering any other tutors to teach and mentor our son through education! You would be lucky if Leigh chooses to be employed by you.
