Tutor and Private Teacher

ages 6-18

Lizette works as a private tutor in Dallas, after having spent 7 years in the classroom teaching grades 3rd-8th math, science, social studies, language arts, and Spanish language arts! She has also provided individual 1:1 and small group advising to middle school students applying to private school, as well as high school students working on college applications. Lizette has also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in college courses including psychology, American government, and college level math.

Lizette believes in a strength-based approach to learning, meaning that every child has innate strengths that, when recognized, help them succeed. We all have areas in which we need a little more support, and tutoring is one way we can supplement our growth. Lizette has experience with instruction approaches including student-led, traditional, project-based, unit study-based, and game schooling. She understands that each child is different, and builds upon Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences to teach diverse learners.
