I have 21 years experience as a classroom teacher in grades K-5. I'm a positive, caring professional with proven success teaching and guiding students to feel safe and take the risks needed to grow academically. I have a strong track record in improving test scores and teaching effectively. I'm skilled at finding the needed resources.
I have an Education degree from Sonoma State University. I believe that anyone can get better at math. I use a multidimensional approach to learning which combines attention, memory, reasoning, communication and visualization. Asking students for ideas (How do you see it?) and interpretations creates an openness to all ideas without judgement or expectation.
I have experience working with students from varied backgrounds, ages and abilities. I've been trained in Multi-sensory instruction. By providing feedback to students regarding areas of academic growth and improvement, helps ensure that students are engaged in their own learning.
My MSI background and extended education in that area helps students make lasting connections to the components found in word families, through word sorts and other spelling activities. Students learn to improve their handwriting by focusing on correct finger position, good posture and tracing patterns to build their confidence in obtaining improved handwriting.
I require social distancing, mask wearing and hand washing as safe practices during these COVID times. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your child's needs and schedule a lesson that fits into your schedule. Thank you for taking the time to review my qualifications.
