Bio

I have been in an classroom for the past 20 years. I have taught 1st grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade and even college courses. I have a teaching certificate for K-8 Elementary, K-12 Reading, ESL. I have been tutoring for students online for the past 14 years.

I have been in an classroom for the past 20 years. I have taught 1st grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade and even college courses. I have a teaching certificate for K-8 Elementary, K-12 Reading, ESL. I have been tutoring for students online for the past 14 years.

After moving up to 6th grade the levels of my students were varying so I had to work with my reading specialist and math specialist often to help make our intervention groups based on the gaps and weaknesses for the students in the entire 6th grade so around 100 students or so. I helped to form and create those targeted groups so the students could close their gaps and show mastery and if not then the teaching styles for those standards was changed to meet the needs of the struggling students. I also helped to make enrichment or challenge groups for the same 6th grade classes who need extension in areas of reading, writing, math, science and social studies. We provided them with labs, stem projects and more research based/project based learning to better suit their needs and strengths to help them grow in all areas.

When I looped up with the same group from 6th grade to 7th grade I helped to create a school wide intervention system for all 6-8th graders around 300 students. I helped create the math, reading, writing lessons for gaps, along with lessons for those same subjects for gifted and enrichment of students. I enjoy finding gaps or areas of interests for the students to help them achieve thier full potential. I have worked on tutoring after school with kids needing help in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, study skills and organization skills. I have also worked with many gifted students helping them to get ahead and stay ahead if any subject they want to work on. I love seeing the confidence boost and self esteem growth students get when they really understand something or see something from a differing point of view. I hope I can help your child to see their true potential after they work with me.

Approved Subjects

Common Core

Common Core

I have been teaching the Common Core standards in a 1-7 th grade classroom for the past 20 years. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education which has trained me to teach from K-5th grade in all Commone Core Subject areas such as writing, reading, math, science and social studies.In my two masters degree classes I learned more about how to help struggling readers with a reading interventionist endorsement and I have been using these skills to help students in my classroom and in my tutoring sessions. I also have two years of PhD experience with various types of curriculum and how the brain learns best in various learning environments. I have been in many professional developments to help learn as much as I can about Common Core since some year the standards change just a bit. I have also been on curriculum committees that have helped to determine which ELA or math programs will best fit the Common Core Standards for our students in my current school district.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have taught first grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade and 7th grade in the past 20 years of teaching. I have been tutoring students online for the past 14 years. I have a bachelor's degree that has given me training in all subject areas for grades k-6th grade. I have two masters degrees that have given more more expertise on how to help struggling readers with my reading interventionist endorsement and teaching math to students in a different way. I have two years of PhD credits that are allowing me to focus on how to take my skills into making my own curriculum to meet the many needs of students along with how the brain works in various environments. I have had many PD training hours on how to best meet the needs of many learners in all subject areas. I continue to take outside college courses to always learn more even after being in my own classroom for the past 20 years. I enjoy helping students reach and see their potential.
