As a licensed k-8 educator in the state of Colorado, I have proven my dedication to excellence by helping children close the achievement gap in both literacy and math. I love teaching children the strategies that will make math and literacy accessible, and have successfully helped even reluctant learners!

I am an experienced classroom educator and tutor. I taught first and second grade at Legacy Elementary in Frederick, Colorado and I have completed 15 credits towards a M.A. in Equitable Instruction from the University of Colorado. I emphasize multimodal learning and love to teach in a way that integrates subject areas with skill acquisition.

I have the background and skills to help young readers develop phonics, fluency and comprehension skills. Mendi Y., the Literacy Interventionist at Legacy Elementary, said, "(Hannah) was able to isolate areas of weakness in her students and implement successful strategies to help these students close their gap in performance. I saw this happen again and again and Miss D.'s room." I also provide older students with support in PC Applications, grammatical structure, and editing.

In math, I ensure success by using a kinesthetic approach, strategy development, and authentic tasks. I teach students to reason mathematically using numbers, pictures, and words. I also help students build logic and function fluency with mathematical games. I instruct older students in numeric definitions, properties, and procedures as they encounter more advanced topics.

Furthermore, I have proven my abilities with non-traditional learners and English Language Learners. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and also enjoy instructing students in Spanish-language acquisition.

All lessons include a free parent consultation which may last up to 10 minutes after the session.

Prealgebra

I teach mathematical inquiry and reasoning, as well as definitions, rules and procedures. At this level, I emphasize solidifying an understanding of the structure and properties of numbers. I help my students identify appropriate methods for making comparisons between, and drawing conclusions about these numbers. Furthermore, I introduce data and graphs to make predictions and generalizations about patterns, variability, change and order in number sets.

Reading

I am an experienced reading teacher and can help students hone both comprehension and fluency skills.

To boost fluency, I use a range of tools including: level-appropriate books, various decoding strategies, word/sound manipulation, generalization strategies, word sorts, Fry's word lists, customized word lists, and modeled intonation/expression.

To enhance comprehension, I coach students on making and checking predictions, vocabulary journals, comprehension organizers,... Read More

Writing

I offer support in sentence and paragraph structure, spelling, story planning/idea formation, vocabulary, editing and penmanship.

Elementary (K-6th)

As a licensed elementary educator, I love to coach children in strategies that will provide math and reading efficacy.

I teach all components of literacy, including: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. (See Phonics and Reading descriptions)

I also teach comprehension and fluency in mathematics. I teach children strategy development and metacognitive techniques through kinesthetic, visual and linguistic modalities. I help children learn to... Read More

Phonics

As a first and second grade teacher who has worked with diverse learning groups, I have experience instructing children in phonological awareness and the alphabetic principal. I use Elkonin Boxes (with magnetic chips and paper boxes) to instruct students in segmenting and blending words together. I have students manipulate and identify word rimes, consonants, vowels and consonant blends in words. I also do word family and vowel sound/pair word sorts to coach students in common patterns found in... Read More

ESL/ESOL

I use sentence frames to promote the development of conversational skills. In addition, I teach vocabulary development through alphabet- and content-based pictorial journals and early readers. I attended an ELL professional development course through St. Vrain Valley School District, Feb. 2011, where I learned that vocabulary development is the gateway to comprehension for ELL students. I have also fostered language acquisition through work with a first grader who was new to the United States. Read More

ADD/ADHD

I recently attended the Diverse Learners Conference in Denver, which has helped me better understand ADD and ADHD as learning styles. As a classroom teacher, I have made many modifications for ADD/ADHD children in the past. I am adept at engaging all learning styles and love to help children make their coursework fit with their interests! I help children set and monitor their own goals in both academics and behavior. I also provide multiple opportunities and modalities (kinesthetic, visual and... Read More

Dyslexia

I provide a structured, systematic, multisensory system for gaining phonological awareness. I coach dyslexic students in segmenting words into individual phonemes and blending phonemes together into words. I also emphasize rhyming and common English language word patterns. At the Diverse Learner's Conference in Denver, Sept. 2011, I developed some new techniques that I am currently using to tutor a dyslexia third grader and I am eager to use these new methods to help other children!
