Hi there! I’m an energetic and compassionate elementary teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience and two master’s degrees in literacy and education. My passion is helping young learners gain confidence and joy in reading!

I specialize in phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension using research-based, structured literacy methods that meet each child right where they are. Whether a student needs extra support to catch up or enrichment to grow further, I make learning engaging, encouraging, and fun.

My sessions are hands-on and positive . They are full of movement, games, and strategies that stick. Parents often tell me their children leave our sessions smiling and proud of their progress. I believe every child can become a confident reader with the right tools, guidance, and encouragement. I thoroughly love making that happen!

Common Core

Common Core

I am a Connecticut-certified elementary teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience and advanced degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and Literacy. I have extensive training in designing lessons and interventions aligned to Common Core standards, particularly in reading, writing, and foundational literacy skills. I help students strengthen their understanding of grade-level expectations while building the skills and confidence needed to meet and exceed those standards. My instruction focuses on clarity, structure, and real-world application so students feel successful and supported every step of the way. I specialize in closing skill gaps caused by curriculum changes or missed foundational concepts, ensuring students are ready to thrive under the Common Core framework.

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a Connecticut-certified elementary teacher with over 15 years of classroom experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a Sixth-Year degree as a Literacy Specialist with a focus in Reading Remediation (K–12). I specialize in structured literacy, phonics, fluency, and comprehension, helping students strengthen foundational reading skills and develop confidence as readers. My lessons are individualized, engaging, and based on research-supported practices that make learning both effective and enjoyable. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Orton-Gillingham, phonemic awareness training, and explicit phonics instruction to meet each student’s needs.
