Dr. Kimondra, Ed.D. | Elementary Reading Specialist | 24 Years of Teaching Experience
Hello! My name is Dr. Kimondra Studevent, and I am an elementary educator with a Doctorate in Education and 24 years of classroom teaching experience. I am passionate about helping children become confident, successful learners by providing individualized instruction that builds strong academic skills and a love of learning.
I specialize in tutoring students in Kindergarten through 5th grade in:
* Reading comprehension
* Guided reading
* Phonemic awareness
* Phonics and decoding
* Reading fluency
* Vocabulary development
* Spelling
* Writing
* Elementary math
* Homework support
* Study skills
Over the course of my career, I have taught using several nationally recognized reading curricula, including Wonders, Imagine It!, Houghton Mifflin, and Scott Foresman. I also have extensive experience using the Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading System to provide instruction matched to each student’s reading level and developmental needs.
For students who need additional reading support, I incorporate Heggerty Phonemic Awareness lessons to strengthen foundational literacy skills. I also provide explicit, systematic instruction in phonics and spelling, helping students build the decoding and word recognition skills that are essential for becoming fluent, confident readers.
My teaching is grounded in research-based instructional practices and tailored to each child’s unique learning style. I create engaging lessons that help students grow academically while building confidence and independence. Whether your child needs reading intervention, enrichment, homework support, or help mastering foundational skills, I will develop a personalized plan to help them succeed.
