Credentialed Teacher for 10+ Years, Reading & Math Intervention

Zena B.

I am a California Credentialed Multiple Subject teacher with over 10 years of classroom experience. While I have spent most of my career teaching first and second grade, I have worked with students from kindergarten through middle school and enjoy helping learners at all levels.

I provide individualized support in all elementary subject areas, including reading, phonics, writing, math facts fluency, science, and social studies. I also hold a LETRS certification in the Science of Reading and have extensive experience in reading intervention and using assessment data to design targeted small-group and one-on-one instruction that helps students make meaningful academic progress.

Throughout my teaching career, my students have consistently demonstrated strong academic growth and high performance on standardized assessments. I am known for being organized, patient, and attentive to each student's unique learning needs, ensuring every lesson is purposeful and engaging.

I believe learning should be fun! I create a positive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and celebrating their successes. My lessons incorporate research-based instructional strategies, movement, games, and creative activities that strengthen memory, attention, and problem-solving.

Whether your child needs help mastering foundational skills, catching up, or getting ahead, I am committed to providing personalized instruction that builds confidence, fosters independence, and helps every student thrive. I look forward to partnering with your family and supporting your child's success through engaging, effective online tutoring.
