About Jan
We provide innovative virtual tutoring for our 21st-century students, including a great deal of technology integration. I have 25 years of experience in the education field, teaching elementary, high school, and university students. My passion is literacy, and I can tutor in both reading and writing for grades pre-K through university. I can also tutor in math for elementary students and humanities for all ages. ONLINE/VIRTUAL TUTORING ONLY!
I have always wanted to be a teacher and began "teaching" in my basement classroom as a child. In addition, I was a passionate and voracious reacher and decided at a young age that I wanted to instill a love of reading into others. After 25 plus years of teaching, I have discovered that my passion is now teaching others...not matter if it's reading or other subjects!

1. I first consult with the parents (or the student if they are older) to find out what their academic needs are.
2. For my first meeting with the student, I do a variety of benchmark and informal assessments to assess where they are at academically. I also take the time to do relationship building activities with the student. For me, the relationship between the tutor and tutee is of paramount importance.
3. I review the assessment data and then plan a course of instruction for the student. I also provide a Google Doc to tohe parents of my tutoring activities and assessment data.
I have worked with struggling readers in grades K-8, struggling math students K-6, as well as gifted students in the elementary grades. In addition, I taught adult students in the teacher education program at the University of Phoenix in Colorado.
A student or parent cannot just rely on the experience of reviews of a potential tutor. The tutor must also have the skills to get to know the student as a whole, not just academically and work at every session to develop a positive relationship.
My creation of Passion Projects for my gifted students. My students chose a topic of passion to them (sports, books, writing, model cars, chemistry, Legos, Minecraft, Ancient Egypt, etc.) and then through research and talking with experts, developed a product (demonstration, technology creation, book, a design, etc.) and shared with others in a science fair type of event. I am currently working on reworking my Passion Project resources into a product to share on Teacher Pay Teachers.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
!. What am I already good at?
2. What do I want to get better at?
3. What are my passions outside of school?

She really knew how to work with the children and ignore the disruptive behaviors but reward the ideal behaviors. It was helpful and admired her ability to keep kiddo focused online!
Jan was a phenomenal tutor for our children. She worked with my son for a year and helped him to progress beyond where he would have. She was engaging and he looked forward to working with her. She also provided additional information that helped us advocate for him with the school.
She worked with my daughter over the summer and helped her to gain confidence with her reading. I highly recommend 21st Century Tutoring and Consulting;.I consider Jan to be an indispensable component to the online education for my son throughout the pandemic this past year. She is very warm, friendly and I love watching my son light up to spend time with her. Her curriculum is targeted to my son's needs and she has an amazing ability to keep him engaged and maintain a positive learning environment. I highly recommend Jan for tutoring needs!
Jan was patient and made the hour more enjoyable for my daughter. It has been super helpful seeing Jan every week.
Jan is an inspiration! Her passion for connecting with each one of our kids, at their developmental level, has given them exactly what they need to excel in the classroom. We have seen their confidence levels rise, as well as their academic achievement. Thanks for making a difference, Jan!
Jan has been an amazing inspiration, mentor and teacher for my son!!! He has worked with her for the past two years and looks forward to his time every week. She is focused on his needs and collaborates with myself and his teachers to make sure everything is connected. We love Ms. Jan!!!!
My kids love Ms Jan and she is an amazing teacher - highly recommended
As a teacher myself, I have known Jan for around 20 years. She was my mentor as a new teacher, and I have always admired her ability to connect with kids and find ways to meet their unique needs. When my own child was struggling in school, I immediately reached out to Jan and she took my daughter as one of her clients. Just as I predicted, Jan got to know my daughter and help her put the missing pieces in place to make learning so much easier for her. She adapts and changes as my daughter's needs change, she is extremely communicative about her progress, and she is flexible when I need to adjust our tutoring times occasionally. Most of all, I trust Jan, and so does my daughter. My daughter has made so much progress, and I believe the progress she has made is mostly due to Jan's influence. I am so thankful to have her as our tutor.
