I have been teaching for 24 years in K-3. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master's degree in Reading and Literacy. For the last 10 years I have been a reading interventionist. I'm also trained in the Orton Gillingham approach to structured literacy. I'm a certified structured literacy classroom teacher through the Center for Effective Reading Instruction, a division of the International Dyslexia Association.

I have a passion for helping struggling readers gain confidence when they see themselves as a reader. I specialize in tutoring in reading, writing, and comprehension which includes phonics and spelling. As your child's tutor I will assess your student and lay out a specific scope and sequence based on your child's needs to help guide them to becoming a successful reader. I will create fun and engaging lessons centered on your child's unique abilities.

As an elementary teacher I also have extensive experience in teaching elementary math concepts, so I can help your child get ahead in math as well.

I'm excited to start working with your child today.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been an elementary teacher for 24 years. I'm a reading interventionist with a Masters in Reading and Literacy and special training in Orton Gillingham. I also have an ESL endorsement.
Phonics

Phonics

I specialize in implementing the Orton Gillingham structured literacy approach which involves explicitly teaching phonics skills until the student has mastered the concept.
Reading

Reading

In order to ensure a solid foundation is developed I implement the 5 pillars of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. In order to accomplish this I utilize a structured literacy approach which explicitly teaches concepts in a systematic way.
Spelling

Spelling

I utilize the Orton Gillingham approach to teaching reading which explicitly teaches spelling concepts in a multisensory, systematic way until the student has mastered the concepts.
Writing

Writing

I've taught elementary school for 24 years. I focus on not only writing, but grammar and sentence construction to make sure your child has a solid foundation in writing instruction.
