Academic Tutoring & Homeschool Support

Coleen Turner, B.Ed., M.Sc.Ed.

Coming from a family of teachers, Coleen recognized her passion for teaching early on. Her desire to teach only grew as she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, followed by a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on reading and literacy.

Coleen’s tutoring approach prioritizes teaching strategies such as multi-sensory learning and scaffolding to cultivate each student’s independence, confidence, and love for learning. She has experience teaching students with a variety of learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism as well as students looking to be further challenged academically. As an experienced elementary teacher, Coleen is well versed in the standards and benchmarks essential for students’ success before, during, and after their pivotal early school years.

When she isn’t working, you’ll often find Coleen (a 3rd generation Bainbridge Islander) volunteering in the community, competing in trivia nights with her husband and friends, curled up with a good book, exploring new walking trails, or immersing herself in her latest craft project.

Coleen is eager to collaborate with parents, students, and teachers in order to develop individualized learning solutions that will help each student find success.

Contact her today to learn more about how her tutoring services can support your child’s academic growth and achievement.
