Early Childhood Teacher and Language Development Tutor

Welcome to finding some assistance for your child!

My name is Sara, and I have experience with teaching all early childhood subject areas, teaching students with Dyslexia, and using the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching language development (reading, writing, spelling, phonics, and phonemic awareness).

I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, I have taught many young children, and I spent 5 years teaching students with Dyslexia ranging in age from seven to sixteen. I have also worked with an adult with Dyslexia acquire skills and strategies to help him become a more efficient reader. I enjoy the opportunity to help individuals of all ages find patterns within the English Language so that they can become more confident, capable readers and writers. I am also able to assist with basic math, science, and social studies skills for elementary school-aged children.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon!
