Brisby Tutoring Services

Posted by athinkingwoman on 3rd July 2008

is now offering tutoring at a distance!

I hope you all won’t mind a shameless plug for my hubby’s  tutoring services.

Josh is a Spanish teacher at a charter school. He has a M.Ed, single subject Spanish credential (BCLAD certified), and is multi-subject credentialed in the state of California.  He has  4 years teaching experience in both the public and private school atmospheres as well as private (individual) tutoring experience, and seminary experience both in-class and through distance education. He has been studying/teaching Spanish diligently for over 15 years. He also has been studying theology and world religions for 12 years. Below is a list of subjects and grade levels he is qualified to tutor:

All ages ESL
Pre-K through college level Spanish
Pre-K through college level Bible
Pre-K through college level systematic theology (including Apologetics)
Pre-K through college level philosophy
Pre-K through college level world religion
Beginning Latin
Beginning Music Theory
Beginning Logic
Pre-K through 6th grade general education (with specialties in English, Reading, Writing, and Spelling)
Speech and Debate

With tutoring at a distance,  you choose the subject you’d like your child(ren) to be tutored in.  Josh (Mr. Brisby to the kids =), will then develop a placement test for your child(ren). Then based upon the preexisting knowledge of the child(ren), he will send weekly worksheets via e-mail attachment (the number of worksheets per week depends upon which Track you choose) . Your child(ren) fills out the worksheet as best they can,  and sends it back via e-mail to Mr. Brisby. Through e-mail correspondence,  Mr.Brisby will discuss the graded worksheet, and discuss the answers, as well as how to improve,  with your child(ren). You will also have a weekly phone consultation (duration of consultation depends upon Track chosen) in which either you or your child(ren) can have questions answered and advice given as pertaining to the tutored subject. The phone call will be initiated by Mr. Brisby so you won’t have to concern yourself with the long-distance cost of the call. Consult times are flexible. At the discretion of Mr. Brisby, some subjects may include reading assignments.

Track A includes 3 weekly worksheets, unlimited e-mail correspondence concerning worksheets, and a 45 minute weekly consultation.

Track B includes 2 weekly worksheets, unlimited e-mail correspondence concerning worksheets, and a 30 minute weekly consultation.

Track C includes 1 weekly worksheet, unlimited e-mail correspondence concerning worksheet, and a 15 minute weekly consultation.
