Bree R.

I’m a native Angelino who has also spent some time in the Bay Area. I studied at Santa Clara University where I earned a BA in Philosophy and I am a natural born creative who loves all types of crafting projects.

I have a wide range of experience working with children ages 3-13. Over the past 10 years I have taught across grades at multiple independent elementary schools and preschools , and tutored children in a variety of subjects such as ELA , math, reading. I have training and/or experience with various programs such as Singapore math , Handwriting Without Tears, and Words Their Way. My versatility and background has allowed me to successfully teach and support neurodiverse students. Prior to teaching, I worked as a behavior therapist for children with ASD. My love of teaching children extends beyond the classroom too, as I have coached volleyball teams and led extracurricular classes.

I truly believe that learning should be fun. I try to tailor my lessons to fit the interests of each student I work with and create age appropriate activities. I love to incorporate movement, games, and crafts to help support learning and strengthen skills while also building a rapport with students. Balancing instructional time with fun activities allows children to feel comfortable tackling challenging lessons, and promotes overall retention of material.
