Spending time in elementary ELA and Math classrooms provided a unique opportunity to support students with foundational enrichment opportunities to enhance learning and comprehension in complex concepts. I have worked with students in tutoring opportunities, small groups, and after-school programming and independent tutoring ranging from grades second through ninth. My background provides a skillset rich in data and technology, with a degree in Psychology and current graduate work in Middle Grades Math underway, allowing for a perspective providing a step into the classroom from an outside lens with heartfelt passion ready to empower and support growth for learners in their journey towards academic success by building self-efficacy.
Working with students of varying neurodivergent needs, students emerging as bilingual, and students with placement from the kindergarten to ninth-grade levels in math and reading, teaches us that the individual growth proficiencies are a partnership and require goal-setting, beginning with the student. Students have benefitted from enriched language and vocabulary support to further enhance comprehension in word problem complexities and higher order critical thinking problems that might involve multiple operations and applications to complete successfully. Through examining and supporting improved self-efficacy, celebrating student growth in a multitude of ways has been a rewarding experience.
In six years in the classroom, I worked with students in upper elementary and middle grades and can assist with understanding resources provided, reteaching concepts for homework support, and provide foundational support to close achievement gaps or extend learning opportunities for enrichment. Though I have worked with students ranging from ages 7-14 in Math and ages 7-10 in Reading, my preference is Middle Grades (6-9 grade) Mathematics. However, please reach out to see if we can partner together to support academic success for your scholar! Availability may vary - reach out to inquire.
