I am a dedicated educator with a Master of Arts in Education and over 15 years of experience helping elementary students thrive. I hold Minnesota teaching licenses in Elementary Education and K–12 Reading, and I am a licensed Early Literacy Specialist. My instruction is deeply rooted in the Science of Reading, supported by my specialized training in LETRS® and CORE Structured Literacy.
My tutoring practice is not one-size-fits-all. I believe that every child learns differently, and the best learning happens when students feel safe, known, and supported. Whether your child is just beginning their reading journey, needing a boost in phonics, or looking to sharpen their writing and math skills, I bring a personalized, data-informed approach to every session.
My specializations include: Foundational Reading & Phonics, Reading Comprehension & Fluency, Creative Writing & Handwriting, Spelling & Vocabulary Enrichment, Elementary Math Concepts, and Study Skills & Executive Functioning.
What to expect when working with me:
When we start, I take the time to understand your child’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. I don’t just assign work; I build a roadmap tailored to them. My sessions are designed to be engaging, encouraging, and highly effective, helping students build not just academic skills, but the confidence to tackle challenges independently.
I am currently a full-time Kindergarten teacher, which keeps me deeply connected to the most current educational practices. I bring that same classroom energy and expertise to my one-on-one tutoring sessions.
Availability:
I am currently accepting new students for the summer, providing me with flexible availability during the day. Once the school year begins, I offer consistent support in the late afternoons and on weekends.
I would be honored to partner with you and your family to support your child's educational journey. Let's work together to unlock your child's full potential!
