Learn and Grow with Mrs. Vallejo

Hi! I’m Maria Vallejo, and I am a certified teacher turned tutor. I teach with empathy and compassion at the forefront and personalize learning for every student. I tutor any subject through 8th grade and anything literacy-based through college and beyond. I offer private one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction, novel studies, and proofreading services.

  • Maria is a wonderful and engaging tutor. She was my son’s writing tutor for four years. They worked on his English homework (or any other homework that required writing). Over the summer, they would read books together and work on his writing. She helped him with his college essays. They had a great rapport. She was always so flexible with his sports and work schedules. I highly recommend Maria!

  • This review comes from my 13 year old daughter: I’ve been taking Ms. Maria’s writing club for about a year now. In this time my writing has improved greatly: I’ve become more detailed, more descriptive, and better at organizing and articulating my thoughts. Writing club is one of my favorite activities, is always fun, and I wouldn't miss it for anything. Ms. Maria is a wonderful teacher and I have learned a lot from her.

  • Maria Vallejo was an excellent E-learning educational tutor, colleague, and support system while working on my Graduate level, Masters Project. I referred to her knowledge and expertise for suggested revisions of my summaries for published literature reviews. Maria was flexible and quick to support during a desperate time in need. She helped me learn to format each article, be in compliance with appropriate APA guidelines, and summarize key findings from 40 published library journals through an eight-week intensive course. Her supports and eye for grammar were impeccable. I recommend her with most confidence.

  • Mrs. Vallejo is an angel. I found her from recommendations on Facebook and honestly, she is the best thing that has ever happened to our little family. She truly cares about my kiddos and they absolutely love her! She has the best energy, spirit and her compassion is unreal. From the bottom of my heart, she was meant to be in our lives and I am forever grateful. Because of her, my 3rd grader actually likes reading now!! No more fighting or emotional outbursts. We spend half the sessions with tutoring and half with mindfulness and meditation. I cannot wait to continue to see progress!

  • Maria has worked with my son since the beginning of the school year. His standardized testing literacy scores and overall reading comprehension have improved significantly. We love Ms. Maria!!!

  • Mrs. Vallejo is hands down an amazing teacher. “Dedication” is not enough—the word itself is insufficient to describe the care, the insight into learning, the expert advice, the love. Love may be enough. If not, what is? We are so lucky to have her as part of our child's team.
