The Real Cost of Homeschooling in Arizona (2026 Breakdown)

Hi! I’m Brittany, a certified elementary teacher, gifted and ESOL endorsed, and a homeschool mom who is passionate about helping children grow in both their academic skills and their confidence as learners. After years in the classroom, I’ve seen that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to take risks. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning is not just about finding the right answer—it’s about building curiosity, perseverance, and the confidence to keep trying. I love creating engaging lessons where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their progress. I offer personalized virtual 1:1 tutoring for students in kindergarten through 4th grade, focusing on reading, writing, and math skills. Each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of the student, whether they are building foundational skills, working toward grade-level goals, or looking for extra confidence and practice. I also offer small-group learning opportunities designed to combine academic growth with connection and community. My Virtual Kindergarten/1st Grade Homeschool Pod provides a structured, interactive environment where students can strengthen reading and math fluency while learning alongside peers. For students who want a fun and focused challenge, my Multiplication Camps help learners build multiplication fact fluency through games, activities, and strategies that make math more engaging and memorable (facts 2-12). My goal is to help every child see themselves as a capable learner. Whether through individual tutoring or a small group experience, I want students to leave each session feeling successful, encouraged, and excited to continue growing.

Helping Students Become Confident Readers and Writers I'm Kristi Wolch, M.Ed., founder of Elementary Writing Tutor. I provide one-on-one online reading and writing tutoring for students in grades 4–8, with a special focus on neurodiverse learners, including students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia traits, executive functioning challenges, and reluctant writers. I also support homeschool families who want extra guidance teaching reading and writing at home. Every child learns differently, so every lesson is personalized. Before instruction begins, I assess each student's strengths and areas of need, then create an individualized plan that builds skills step by step. Sessions combine explicit instruction, engaging activities, and plenty of encouragement so students gain both academic skills and confidence. Whether we're strengthening reading comprehension, improving sentence writing, organizing essays, building vocabulary, or mastering grammar, each lesson is designed to support student growth. My background includes more than 10 years as a special education classroom teacher, followed by over a decade of private tutoring. I also hold a master’s degree in special education from the University of Washington. Since 2015, I've worked with students both online and in person, helping children who struggle with reading and writing become more independent learners. I love finding creative ways to make challenging concepts manageable, especially for students who have begun to believe they "just aren't good at writing or reading." Families often tell me that their children not only improve academically but also become more willing to write, participate in reading activities, and tackle assignments independently. My goal is to help students develop the confidence, communication skills, and learning strategies that will serve them for years to come. I believe parents are valuable partners in the learning process, and I work hard to make sure they understand their child's progress and know how to support learning between sessions. My Christian faith is an important part of who I am and guides the way I serve others with kindness, integrity, and compassion. While faith is not the focus of tutoring, I am comfortable teaching with Christian curriculum and publishers when families request them. I always respect each family's preferences and follow their lead regarding faith-based discussions during lessons. If you're looking for a patient, experienced tutor who understands how to meet students where they are and help them grow, I'd love the opportunity to support your child in becoming a more confident, capable reader and writer.
