I have been an elementary educator for over 30 years. During this time I have taught in the classroom (grades 1, 4, 5, 6), managed libraries, been an administrator and a literacy coach. Many years I also tutored students after school and sometimes throughout the summer.
Teaching elementary students has made teaching a lot of fun for me. Children are eager to learn and working one on one with students allows me to teach them better. I love seeing their faces light up when they have learned something new or understood a concept. My greatest passion and success comes from seeing children begin to enjoy learning, especially reading. And when they have been a struggling reader and I am able to help them overcome their reading hesitancies or frustrations, it makes teaching so much more exciting and fulfilling.
I have taught all subjects at the elementary level and am capable of tutoring any of them. Moreover, I have completed extensive coursework and experience in the area of reading, holding a reading specialist's certificate.
The greatest majority of my work in education has been with elementary level students. I am familiar with their learning patterns and about what to expect at each level. Also, having managed elementary libraries, I am familiar with a wide range of children's literature. This background allows me to find the correct reading material for each reader.
Thank you for looking over my profile and considering my services. I look forward to hearing from you!
