My expertise in Elementary Education is deeply rooted in my academic training and extensive field experience across the K-6 spectrum. I am a highly motivated student graduating from Oakland University in April 2026 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, holding a 3.88 GPA and consistent Dean's List honors. This background provides me with the comprehensive pedagogical knowledge necessary to tutor fundamental math and reading concepts from Kindergarten through the upper elementary grades. My goal is always to guide students beyond rote memorization to genuine conceptual understanding.
My qualification for Elementary Math (K-6) is derived from direct teaching experience in both ends of the elementary age spectrum. In my initial 4th-grade placement at Walton Charter Academy, I provided targeted one-on-one instruction in complex topics like multi-digit operations and early fractions. My current field placement in Kindergarten requires me to teach early number sense and equality using hands-on manipulatives and discussion-based methods. I am skilled at guiding students through the full problem-solving process—from initial exploration to post-task analysis—to ensure they not only solve the problem but fully understand their own mathematical reasoning.
My expertise in Elementary Reading/Literacy (K-6) is backed by three dedicated courses covering Emergent, Beginning, and Fluent reading strategies. This gives me the specific knowledge to diagnose and support students at any stage. My field experience contextualizes this: I spent a full semester supporting 4th-grade students with advanced reading comprehension, vocabulary, and complex texts. I am currently leading phonics and early literacy lessons in a Kindergarten classroom, applying explicit instruction techniques. My comprehensive background in both early and fluent reading gives me the necessary skills to effectively tutor all reading and language arts skills from Kindergarten through the sixth grade.
