Coding Tutoring for 3rd Grade

With 18 years of teaching experience, I am thrilled to bring my expertise to 1:1 sessions with learners at Dojo Tutor. Throughout my career, I have taught a variety of grades and subjects, including 2nd grade, 5th grade Math, Early Childhood, and Technology. I have had the pleasure of teaching in the great state of New Jersey, where I have helped countless kids grow and succeed. I hold a Computer Science Degree from William Paterson College, as well as a K-5 Teaching Certification and 11 IT Certification. Outside of teaching, you can find me playing tennis or hanging out with my pet turtle. I believe that getting to know my learners and incorporating their interests into our lessons makes for a fun and engaging learning experience. My goal is to keep our lessons focused and effective by constantly checking in and reviewing material. Let's work together to make learning a blast.

I have been teaching for 8 years, and have experience working with learners in Elementary through 12th grade in a variety of subjects including Math, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, and Career Resource Education. I am certified to teach K-6 in all subjects, 6-12 in Business Education and Agriculture Education, and have a reading endorsement. Besides my passion for teaching, I also have a few personal interests and hobbies that I enjoy outside of the classroom. I am a certified scuba diver and love exploring the beautiful underwater world. I also enjoy embroidery and spending time watching college football.

I have been teaching for a couple of years now, specializing in Math and English for kids in Kindergarten through 4th grade. I’ve had the pleasure of working with learners in Pennsylvania, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I believe that education should feel like an adventure, and I’m here to make that happen! To keep our online learning fun and engaging, I love using cool visuals like counting blocks and fun coloring activities. Imagine solving math problems or crafting stories that make you feel like you’re teaming up on a quest! I’m all about finding creative ways to help kids understand their lessons and grow their confidence. I also enjoy learning about how each child learns best so I can tailor activities just for them. Outside of tutoring, I’m a big fan of art and have even helped out at the Dungeons and Dragons club after school. I draw and paint with color pencils and acrylics, which inspires me to think creatively when working with my learners. My experiences in these areas have taught me how to be adaptable and to create a safe space where kids can express themselves. Let’s embark on this exciting educational journey together!

Hi, my name is Dr. McQueen, and I am excited to start this learning journey with you! With 11 years of experience teaching kids from Kindergarten through 9th grade, I’ve found a passion for making learning fun. I've taught a variety of subjects, including English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Coding, and Health in the sunny state of Mississippi. My hard work, dedication, and passion for teaching are so evident that I won Alternate Teacher of the Year for Mississippi in 2023!

I have been teaching for 36 years, working with children in kindergarten through 4th grade. My expertise lies in teaching subjects such as reading, math, science and social studies. I have a deep passion for education and love helping young learners reach their full potential. I am currently based in Virginia. My educational background includes a degree in Elementary Education and Educational Technology Leadership. I also hold certifications specifically designed for teaching children in grades PK-4 and 4-8. These qualifications have equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach and guide young learners. I have experience teaching children with a variety of needs and love working with all children. While I do not hold a Special Education certificate I have support students wth special needs in my classes and was an Instructional Coach for the Students Services Department of my school division. I have also worked with ESL students and their teachers to find ways to help them acquire the English Language. However, I do not speak other languages so it would be helpful if your child could understand some English to make a successful experience. For the last 20 years, I have served as an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher, which involves helping teachers look at their curriculum and develop ways to make it more engaging with technology. Through this work, I have learned of many tools to use with children to help make learning academic concepts easier. I cannot wait to start this learning journey with your family!

🎉 As an experienced educator for 24 years, I have taught learners in elementary 1st-5th grade, as well as gifted resource. In addition, I have been providing tutoring services in reading and math. My love for teaching and passion for helping children learn are what keep me going every day. I have primarily taught in Missouri, where I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in creating fun and engaging learning experiences for young learners. With a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, a Masters degree in Library Media, and certification in Gifted Education, I am well-equipped and qualified to help your child succeed. I am also certified in Elementary education for grades 1-6, as well as Library Media and Gifted education for Kindergarten-12th grade. My goal is to make learning enjoyable and effective for my students. In order to achieve this, I take the time to get to know each learner's interests and use formative assessments to track their progress. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my family. These interests not only bring me joy, but also influence my teaching style and methodology. I believe that getting to know my learners and their interests is key to keeping them engaged and excited about learning. I am committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for my students, and I am looking forward to getting to know your child and helping them reach their full potential!

My hobbies influence my teaching style, and I'd love to explain how! Outside of teaching, I'm incredibly passionate about solo traveling and skydiving. I have visited over 22 countries and I am a licensed skydiver with more than 60 solo jumps. My love for these hobbies has taught me to stay calm under pressure, trust the process, and remain adaptable in unpredictable situations. These skills directly influence my teaching style. In my classroom, learning is an adventure and failure is seen as a stepping stone to growth. I encourage my students to embrace challenges, take calculated risks, and develop resilience. My ultimate goal is to create an environment where they feel safe to explore, iterate, and learn, just like in skydiving!

Hello families. My name is Lisa Papa and I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade reading, writing, and mathematics for 25 years, 20 of those years at a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. I have extensive experience in and resources for these areas. I have tutored kids in reading, writing, and mathematics grades PK-9 throughout my years as a teacher and I have conducted reteach and enrich groups for reading and mathematics as well. I have read thousands of children’s books so if your child is a reluctant reader I can recommend books they may like based on their interests or other books they have liked in the past. In addition to my years of experience, I have taken hundreds of hours of professional development classes in reading, writing, and mathematics including classes with Barry Lane, Sue Yokum, Fred Jones, and other reading, writing, and math masters and leaders. I look forward to being a partner with you and your child's teacher to help your child on their educational journey. My goal is for every student to love learning and to feel success and happiness at school. I know at the top of the profile in the Quick Look section it says I have 22 years experience, but then when you read the paragraph about my teaching experience it says 25 years. I have been working with Class Dojo tutoring since it started in 2022 and the Quick Look info hasn't been updated since then, but I do update my profile paragraph regularly so it has the most up-to-date information for you. I thought it was important you know why the numbers seem like they don't match.

That's why I love to use bright visuals and incorporate dance parties, trivia, and games into my lessons. I also use strategies such as quick checks and intentional scaffolding to ensure that the learning is effective. Outside of teaching, I enjoy fishing, reading books, and spending time with my family. These interests greatly influence my teaching style and methodology, as I love to incorporate my passions into lessons to make them more relatable and memorable for kids.
