Experienced Elementary Teacher & Tutor!

Are you looking for a dedicated, skilled, and passionate tutor to help your child succeed? With nine years of elementary teaching experience (TK-3rd grade) and a proven track record of student success, I am here to provide expert, personalized support in your child’s academic journey.

As a former lead first-grade teacher for three years, I understand the critical foundations of early learning. I specialize in teaching phonics, reading, writing, and math, with a particular emphasis on helping struggling readers build confidence and fluency. I designed and implemented an extension reading intervention program, which focused on strengthening foundational skills in phonics and reading fluency, tailored to the unique needs of each learner.

I am certified in Orton-Gillingham instruction, a research-based approach to phonics and reading instruction, and have extensive experience with Common Core standards and a variety of curriculums. My expertise lies in adapting these programs to meet the diverse learning styles and needs of every child, ensuring that lessons are engaging, accessible, and effective.

Beyond academics, I find immense fulfillment in fostering a growth mindset in students and building their confidence, particularly those with learning disabilities. I create a supportive environment where children feel empowered to take on challenges and celebrate their progress.

Whether your child needs extra help catching up, additional practice to stay on track, or enrichment to stay ahead, I am committed to providing personalized, engaging, and results-driven instruction. Let’s work together to help your child achieve their full potential!

Contact me today to schedule a session or learn more about how I can support your child’s learning.
