Early Childhood & Kindergarten Specialist | M.Ed., NYC Teacher

Elisa G.

I am a master’s-level early childhood and childhood education teacher with extensive experience supporting young learners in Pre-K and Kindergarten. I hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Early Childhood Education. I work full time at an international private school in New York City, where I teach Pre-K 3 and Kindergarten in a structured, academically rich classroom setting. Over the course of my career, I have worked with children ages three through six in private schools, charter schools, and early childhood programs, providing both classroom instruction and individualized one-on-one support.

My tutoring approach focuses on building strong academic foundations in early literacy and mathematics while supporting the whole child. I specialize in phonics, early reading strategies, handwriting, number sense, and problem-solving skills that prepare children for success in Kindergarten and beyond. Sessions are carefully planned and tailored to each child’s needs, using research-based methods, hands-on materials, and clear instructional routines. I emphasize confidence-building, gradual skill progression, and consistency so students develop independence and a positive relationship with learning.

I frequently work with families seeking kindergarten readiness, academic enrichment, or targeted support in literacy and math. I value clear communication with parents and provide guidance on how learning strategies can be reinforced at home. My goal is to create a calm, engaging learning environment where children feel supported, challenged, and motivated to grow academically.
