I am certified by the state of Texas to teach ESL and grades 1-8 all subjects with a reading concentration. I have taught children and Adult ESL classes and GED classes and have received special training in those areas. I'm presently working full-time with NEISD which requires a background check that is current. I hold a life time certification with 15 years of teaching experience. I've taught elementary, middle school reading, ESL, and GED classes. I have a special way of connecting with struggling students. I believe my counseling background has helped in the area of connecting with students. I'm student focused building on students areas of strengths and weaknesses. My certified area is all subjects 1st-8th self contained with a special focus in reading and I am also a certified ESL teacher.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary knowledge is critical to reading comprehension; it is important help foster a student's development of a large “word bank” and effective vocabulary learning strategies. There are several effective explicit (intentional, planned instruction) and implicit (spontaneous instruction as a child comes to new words in a text) strategies that I will employ with your child.

Reading

Beginning readers will focus on phonics, spelling, reading comprehension, and vocabulary.

I will use Seven Strategies to Teach your child text Comprehension: 1. Monitoring comprehension, 2. Metacognition, 3. Graphic and semantic organizers, 4. Answering questions, 5. Generating questions,
6. Recognizing story structure, and 7. Summarizing.







Writing

Writing without tears! I will focus on the shared events of students' lives to inspire writing. I will help your child work with words relevant to their lives to help them build vocabulary. I will ask students to reflect on and write about their writing.


English

I'm certified to teach Language Arts in the state of Texas grades 1-8th. I can tutor any subject outside a classroom that I have taken additional prep classes in.

I will teach students to:
•Read the text and decide what is essential to know once they have finished their reading.

•Help them decide which portions of the reading can be eliminated. This kind of purpose-setting will help students read with a clear focus and prevent them from getting lost in extraneous details... Read More

ASVAB

Let me help you prepare for the exam. I will provide test taking tips in math and English for the test. Timing yourself on the practice tests is also a great way to make sure you are ahead of the game and never worry about time in the actual test. Being prepared for this test takes time so the faster you get started the better your result will be.

Spelling

I will provide spelling lists that meet the weekly/monthly needs of your child. Your child needs to be able to spell the words they need to write. Therefore their spelling lists need to be connected to other things that are currently being taught. They will learn several strategies that will help them spell.

ACT Reading

I will help you prepare for the ACT test by going over format of the test and reading strategies. The faster you start to prepare for the test the better off you will be to achieve your desired score. My strong background in reading will be a key factor in helping you to obtain your goals. I have a master's degree and am a certified Texas teacher with 15 years teaching experience. I have a proven track record that gets the needed results!

Elementary (K-6th)

I will provide core instruction in reading, writing, phonics, math, science, and social studies targeting Texas State objectives in grades k-6.

I'm certified to teach math, science, social studies, language arts (reading, writing, phonics) in the state of Texas grades 1-8th self-contained, which can be looked up on the TEA... Read More

Phonics

I will teach your child how to blend letter sounds and word parts to develop a foundation for reading. The goal of phonics instruction is to teach students the most common sound-spelling relationships so that they can decode, or sound out, words. This decoding ability is a crucial element in reading success. I will use 4 Blocks program. I'm certified in Texas to teach grades 1-8 with a area of concentration in Reading. I also have 14 years teaching experience in public schools in San Antonio.... Read More

Study Skills

I have a Master's Degree and have been teaching for 15 years. Currently I'm with NEISD teaching full-time during the day. I'm certified to teach all subject areas in the state of Texas grades 1-8th self-contained. Study skills is an area that I teach each year to help my students to be successful in all subject areas. I will teach your child how to study focusing on individual study skills. Your child will learn how to set goals, prioritize, and stay organized.

Special Needs

With 15 years of teaching experience and a Master's degree from St. Mary's University in Counseling your student will be in good hands with me. Everyday I work with students with special needs from gifted to special education. I will develop an individual educational plan with your student to meet their educational and emotional needs inside and outside the classroom.

Public Speaking

I'm a certified teacher with the state of Texas and am employed full-time during the day at NEISD. I have a master's degree and 14 years teaching experience.

Students learn how when they say something and how they physically present themselves are just as important as what they say. By understanding the dynamics involved in effective persuasive speaking, students will improve their overall confidence in communicating.

Students will learn how to demonstrate the appropriate... Read More

ADD/ADHD

I have a master's degree in Counseling along with 15 years teaching experience. Students with ADD/ADHD require an individual educational plan that will meet their needs in class and at home and I can do that with you and your child to address strengths and weaknesses.

Dyslexia

I'm certified by the state of Texas to teach students with dyslexia and other learning problems. I will be using a multi-sensory approach that involves many senses at the same time: touch, sight, movement, and sound. I will also work on building your child's confidence. A structured reading scheme that involves repetition and introduces new words slowly is extremely important. This allows the child to develop confidence and self esteem when reading. I have 14 years experience teaching students... Read More

Social Studies

I will teach social studies skills based on Texas Administrative Code (TAC), Title 19, Part II Chapter 113, Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Social Studies. The unit of study will be based on the grade level of the student. Each grade level has different TEKS. I will teach your child to develop character and habits of mind that promote civic responsibility in a democratic society and interdependent world.
