Ms. Whitney's Tutoring Service

Teaching has always been a valuable part of my life. Growing up in Pasadena, CA,  I attended a small local school from Pre-K through 12th grade. Throughout middle and high school, I volunteered in local elementary schools. I loved seeing the kids become more confident in their reading, writing, and math abilities.

​

I built on this foundation at The George Washington University in Washington D.C., where I received my Bachelor's degree in Radio and Television, with a minor in English Language and Literature. As a teacher's assistant in the Radio and Television Program, I most enjoyed working one-on-one with my peers to help them with their audio and video projects. This experience motivated me to pursue additional certification and become a teacher. 

I earned my Multiple Subject Clear Credential, with an Authorization in English Instruction, from California State University, Los Angeles. I became a 3rd and 4th grade teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and later at a local charter school.

The experiences with my students further galvanized me to earn my Master's degree in Elementary Education from California State University, Northridge. After this, I taught Pre-Kindergarten at the same neighborhood school my younger son attended. This was a great opportunity to teach my students the fundamentals through interactive lessons.

I have served as a parent volunteer at both my sons' schools, primarily assisting in the reading fluency program for kindergarten through 5th-grade. My time with the kids and their parents soon led to after school tutoring for children in reading and math.

I have been working as a tutor for families in the San Fernando Valley since 2018. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family as well.
