Hello! My name is Barbara, and I am an experienced Kindergarten teacher and VPK Director in Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I have several years of classroom experience working with Pre-K through 2nd grade students in both small-group and whole-class settings.

I specialize in early literacy, structured phonics, and foundational math skills. In my classroom, I use a systematic phonics approach aligned with Florida standards, focusing on letter-sound mastery, blending, segmenting, sight words, fluency, and comprehension. I also provide targeted support in foundational math skills such as number sense, addition and subtraction strategies, and problem-solving.

As a classroom teacher and early childhood leader, I regularly assess student progress and create individualized plans to meet each child’s needs. I understand that young learners need engaging, hands-on instruction combined with clear structure and consistency. My tutoring sessions are interactive, encouraging, and tailored specifically to each student’s learning style and goals.

Parents appreciate that I:
-Provide clear feedback after sessions
-Set measurable learning goals
-Reinforce school curriculum
-Use research-based methods
-Focus on building student confidence

I believe strong early literacy skills are the foundation for long-term academic success, and I am passionate about helping students master these skills the right way from the beginning.

I look forward to partnering with your family!
