In-person tutoring in Louisville for kindergarten through 5th grade. Clear goals, practice to do at home, and a note after every session, so you always know where your kid stands.
Kids remember what they understand, so each new skill starts hands-on: letter tiles, base-ten blocks, fraction pieces, and games. Then it’s locked in with focused practice, the same kind of work they see in class. You get both: real understanding, and progress you can see on paper.
Manipulatives, word building, games, and real-life problems. This is where it clicks and where kids start liking it.
Short worksheets, fluency drills, and flash practice matched to exactly what they’re working on. Never busywork.
A practice page or two each week, about 10 minutes a day, plus tips for parents on how to help without the battle.
Every skill moves through four steps before we call it done:
Grades come easier when kids can focus, stick with something hard, and think of another way. Every session saves a few minutes for hands-on challenges that build those habits, and you’ll see a focus rating in every note.
Memory trays, “Simon says” with math facts, and beat-the-timer practice.
Tangrams, logic puzzles, and the tallest tower from 20 index cards. The first one usually falls.
Solve it two ways, invent a word problem, and “how many ways can you use a paperclip?”
A friendly, no-pressure check of reading level, phonics, and math skills, then a written plan with 2 or 3 clear goals.
What we worked on, what clicked, what’s still tricky, and this week’s practice.
Where they started, where they are now, and what’s next. Easy to share with their teacher.
Tell me what’s going well, what’s hard, and what you’re hoping for.
A first session to see exactly where they are, then a written plan with clear goals.
Same time each week, practice to do at home, and a note after every session.
I teach 3rd grade at Christian Academy of Louisville. I know what kids are expected to do in class, where they tend to get stuck, and how to get them unstuck. I love the moment a kid goes from “I can’t” to “wait, I get it.”

Every price includes materials, weekly practice pages, and notes after each session.
Six weekly small-group sessions in July to stop the summer slide and start the year confident. Reading or math tracks by grade.
A few things that work for most kids, whether or not you ever book a session. There are also free practice pages every week.
A routine removes half the arguing. Snack first, then 20 focused minutes, then a break.
Ten minutes a night builds vocabulary and comprehension faster than almost anything else.
“Show me how you did that one” helps more than checking answers.
Two minutes of quick math facts on the drive adds up to hours by spring.
“You stuck with that” beats “you’re so smart.” It keeps them trying on hard work.
Ten good minutes beats forty frustrated ones. End on a win and come back tomorrow.
Kindergarten through 5th grade, about ages 5 to 11.
Yes. Each session includes focused practice, and you’ll get a practice page or two each week for home, about 10 minutes a day. Hands-on activities are how new skills are taught; practice is how they stick.
Yes. We can start with whatever is due this week, then work on the skills underneath it so homework gets easier on its own.
Yes, including the reading and math skills on school tests and test-taking habits like reading the question twice and checking work.
You’ll get a note after every session and a written progress report every 6 sessions comparing where they started with where they are now.
If you’d like. A quick email with their teacher helps us work on exactly what they’re doing in class.
Yes. A small group of 2 or 3 kids at a similar level is $30 per child per hour.
Reschedule anytime with 24 hours’ notice. If your kid wakes up sick, keep them home and there’s no charge.
Spots are limited. Families on the list hear first and get first pick of times. No commitment.
I teach 3rd grade, so I know what kids are expected to do in class, where they tend to get stuck, and how to get them unstuck. My favorite moment is when a kid goes from “I can’t” to “wait, I get it.”
In a class of twenty, there’s never enough time to sit with the one kid who needs another way to see it. Tutoring is that time.
I teach every new skill hands-on first, with blocks, tiles, games, and real problems, so it makes sense. Then we practice until it sticks, and you get pages to keep it going at home.
[Anything else in her own words]
Kindergarten through 5th grade, about ages 5 to 11.
Early readers, math facts through fractions, writing, and kids who’ve decided they “hate” a subject.
Monday to Thursday after school, some Saturday mornings, and Summer Bridge in July.
75 minutes, relaxed and game-like. Most kids don’t realize they’re being tested.
Letter sounds or a short passage, sight words, and a few comprehension questions.
Facts, place value, and a few problems at and just above grade level.
Within two days you get 2 or 3 clear goals, the starting numbers, and how we’ll measure progress.
Three short pages a week for each grade band, about 10 minutes a day. Free for everyone, no account needed. Families who book get pages picked for their own kid instead.
Families who book get a plan, practice matched to their goals, and a progress report every 6 sessions.
Pick what you need and a time that works. Anna Grace confirms by email, usually within a day. Nothing is charged now.
Times are Louisville time. Booked times and anything within a day don’t show.
