Hello There!!

My Name is Wendy. I'm a 34 year old former teacher. I graduated from Southern CT State University with a BA in Elementary Education, and a BS in Sociology. I substitute taught in a variety of classrooms with age groups from Pre-K to 6th as well as special needs classes, before determining where I wanted to be. I taught kindergarten 2 years and first grade for a total of 4 years. I have been a certified teacher in both CT and TX. A couple of years ago, we moved from TX to GA, where I decided to take a break from teaching and work for myself at a home-based biz.... I love it, but I miss teaching SO much! Now I'm back in CT, and I'm just tickled to have come across this website which provides an easy way for people like me, with a passion for teaching, to connect with people like you who want or need some one-on-one attention!

I hope that you will find my teaching style just what you or your child needs!

Feel free to email me with any questions you might have!

Elementary Math

I love teaching math to young children. I believe it is very important to be sure that the foundation is VERY strong before moving on. As I have told my students in the past, "if we build a skyscraper on a foundation made of sand, the higher we build, the more opportunities for it wobble and fall over. We want to make sure our foundation is built strong!" Moving on before previous skills are mastered will make new skills difficult to learn.

I also like to work with problem solving... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I Graduated in 2001 with a BA in Elementary Education and was Certified in CT until May 2011. I have a current TX teaching Certificate. I taught both in CT and in TX

Phonics

I graduated from Southern CT State University with a BA in Elementary Education, and a BS in Sociology. Many children struggle with different aspects of learning to read. Phonics is one such aspect that can cause problems with reading, speaking, and spelling.

Phonics is the basic instruction that teaches the relationships between letters and sounds. It involves learning how to connect the sounds of spoken English with letters or groups of letters that create sounds. Phonics teaches... Read More
