About Janelle

Hi! My name is Janelle, and I’m a credentialed educator with a Master’s degree in Special Education. I specialize in supporting elementary and middle school students in math, especially those who benefit from patient, step-by-step instruction. I’ve worked with a wide range of learners, including students with IEPs, English language learners, and those who simply need a confidence boost in math. My goal is to make math feel less intimidating and more meaningful by using real-world examples, visual supports, and interactive strategies. I strive to create a warm, encouraging environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. With years of classroom and small-group teaching experience, I bring both professionalism and a deep understanding of student needs to every session. Whether your child is catching up, keeping up, or getting ahead, I’m here to help them succeed.

About the lesson

As a tutor, I take a patient, student-centered approach that focuses on building foundational math skills, confidence, and independent problem-solving. I specialize in working with elementary and middle school students—particularly those who benefit from extra support, such as students with learning differences or those struggling to keep up in class. My teaching techniques include using visuals, manipulatives, real-world examples, and step-by-step breakdowns of math concepts. I scaffold instruction by modeling first, practicing together, and then guiding the student to work independently. I also emphasize academic language, critical thinking, and checking for understanding throughout the session. A typical lesson begins with a warm-up or review, followed by direct instruction on a targeted skill (e.g., long division, fractions, word problems). We’ll practice the skill with increasing independence, and close with a reflection or real-life application of what was learned. I also adapt lessons based on classroom assignments or upcoming tests to ensure alignment with schoolwork. What sets me apart is my background in special education, my ability to tailor instruction for individual needs, and my focus on supporting not just academic growth—but also student confidence and self-advocacy. My goal is to help students not only "get through" math but to understand it deeply and feel good about their progress.
