Hi! I would love to be your child’s elementary instructor. My lessons are creative and engaging and everything I teach is unique to your child’s needs/interests. My specialty is teaching reading; I’ve been teaching reading in a classroom or in some capacity since 2002 and was trained by an elementary reading specialist. I use a three-tiered system with semantic (meaning-based cues), syntactic (structure-based cues) and graphophonic (phonics cues) cues to teach all types of learners. I earned my teaching credential at San Diego State and taught at a private Christian elementary school before having children. I am a Christian and am willing to use Christianity in my teaching if that appeals to you, but I will refrain if that’s not of interest to you. I love to travel and am interested in other cultures which is why I chose for my boys to learn Mandarin and Spanish fluently at school. I speak some Spanish, but use English in my instruction. I also teach other subjects and am passionate about teaching all elementary subjects including handwriting and writing, math, science, and history.

I am the longest-standing elementary Sunday school teacher at my non-denominational Christian church. I have taught elementary Bible lessons for 15+ years at the same church I have attended for 20+ years.

Elementary (K-6th)

I’ve taught in the classroom with small groups, whole groups, and individual instruction. I was trained by a reading specialist from a local public elementary school in Fletcher Hills where I live. I successfully completed my multiple subject teaching credential at San Diego State with straight A’s and many compliments about my natural teaching ability. I now teach private one-on-one elementary lessons in reading/writing, math, and science.
