Science Tutoring for 8th Grade

Hi! I’m Eliza, a certified Special Education teacher with 29 years of experience teaching students from Pre-K through High School in math, reading, writing, spelling, and science. I’ve spent my entire career helping struggling learners build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and feel truly successful in school. I specialize in working with students who have ADHD, anxiety, autism, IEP/504 plans, executive functioning challenges, or who simply need a patient, encouraging tutor who understands how they learn best. My sessions are calm, structured, engaging, and tailored to every child’s individual needs. I’m passionate about making learning feel positive, manageable, and fun—especially for students who have felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or discouraged in traditional classrooms. My goal is always the same: help your child feel proud of themselves and excited to learn again.

Hello! My name is Ms. Sarah, and I am excited to start this learning journey with you! I have been teaching for over 20 years and have experience working with learners from Pre-Kindergarten through 9th grade. My passion for education and dedication to my students have enabled me to teach a wide variety of subjects, including elementary music, elementary and middle school math, and special education. I have taught in my home state of North Carolina throughout my entire career and possess a diverse educational background. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Music Education and a Master of Music in Music Therapy, and I am currently working towards an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. Since I love being a student just as much as I love teaching, I look for opportunities to learn as much as I can from wherever I can! This has led to certifications in teaching students with Specific Learning Disabilities, such as the Orton-Gillingham Method and Dyscalculia frameworks, and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. With my extensive experience and qualifications, I am confident in my ability to provide engaging and effective tutoring sessions using explicit, multisensory, and systematic methods that are FUN, ENGAGING, & IMPACTFUL. As a tutor, I make online learning fun and engaging for my students by celebrating both their big and small accomplishments. I believe that mistakes are proof of effort and encourage my learners always to try their best. To ensure that online learning is effective, I employ a variety of strategies, including providing ample practice opportunities, interactive activities, and maintaining a good pace - I like to say that we'll "go as fast as we can, but as slow as we need." :) Outside of teaching, I enjoy singing with a 17-piece jazz band, gardening, crafting, and spending as much time as possible with my family doing things together outdoors. My creative hobbies have influenced my teaching style, as I continually seek new and innovative ways to make learning enjoyable for my students, and I particularly enjoy using multi-sensory methods for learning. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for education with you and your family. Let's start this learning journey together!

-Hi! My name is Sai Vudatha, and I’m so excited to be a tutor here at Dojo! I’m currently studying Biomedical Sciences at Arizona State University, and I’ve always loved helping others learn and feel confident in what they’re studying. I’ve been tutoring for a while now (4 years- in high school and college!), and I really enjoy seeing students grow — not just in their grades, but in their confidence and curiosity, too. When I tutor, I like to make sure my students feel completely comfortable asking questions and taking their time to understand concepts fully. I believe learning should feel encouraging and even a little fun, not stressful or overwhelming. I love breaking topics down step-by-step and finding creative ways to explain things until they truly make sense. Outside of tutoring, I have a few hobbies that keep me balanced and happy! I love baking, especially trying out new recipes on the weekends, and I also enjoy hiking and stargazing whenever I get the chance. There’s something really calming about being outdoors and taking a break from busy life. Overall, I’m just really looking forward to getting to know each of my students and helping them reach their goals. Whether you need help mastering tricky material or just want someone to cheer you on while you learn, I’ll be right there to support you every step of the way! 🌟
