Bio
Hi, my name is Cindy Cooley, and I am an experienced educational leader specializing in foundational skills for students in Grades 1 through 6. I excel in helping students who struggle with core subjects: Reading, Writing, and Foundational Math. My hobbies include traveling and shopping at estate sales and flea markets. My husband and I currently have 4 rescue dogs that we love dearly. We live on a cattle farm, and the cows have plenty of land to roam. I chose to become a tutor because I believe in the transformative power of personalized learning and possess a strong desire to empower individual student growth. My core belief is that students learn best through active engagement, meaningful connection, and responsive differentiation, which moves learning beyond rote memorization into deep, transferable understanding. Learning is an active construction process, not passive reception.

The Data-Driven Approach: I use my background as a former Literacy Coordinator/Assistant Principal to pinpoint the exact learning barrier, whether it's ELA or Math.
