As a reading teacher, I will listen to you read and discover the skills you have not mastered yet. I will design lessons that teach you these skills and help you practice. I use a variety of methods and materials.
As an English language teacher, I will give you a placement test and enroll you in a structured, online program that I teach. The program is rich with speaking practice, grammar instruction, reading and spelling.
I have a 4-year degree in sociology and education from Fredonia State University.
I have taught for many years. I have worked with children of all ages in my church for many years. I have raised and homeschooled 8 children. The youngest is now 14. I worked as a teacher's aid in a pre-k classroom for a year. I have been a reading tutor for about ten years. I have had about 20 private students during that time. These students have dyslexia and range in age from 6 to 18. I use the Barton Reading and Spelling System as the backbone of my teaching program. If the student needs it, I support their auditory processing abilities with a foundational program called Foundation in Sounds. I have found many ways to supplement the classes as I see the students need for practice and review. I do the reading tutoring online and in-person. I am also an ESL teacher with VIPKid. This is a tutoring company for students in China. The students I get in this job are between 7 and 14. I can't do this during the day, though, because those students are sleeping.
My personality is patient and gentle.
My speaking speed is slow.
