Reading

Reading

My qualifications in reading instruction include experience as a Reading Intervention Teacher, where I worked with students to develop foundational literacy skills, including phonemic awareness, letter recognition, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. I assessed student progress, utilized literacy data to support individualized instruction, and prepared students for academic success through targeted intervention strategies. In addition, I have extensive academic training in literature and language studies, including a minor in English with concentrated coursework in 17th–19th century British Literature. My graduate studies in Philosophy also involved close textual analysis of classical works such as the Vedic texts, Dao De Jing, and other ancient philosophical literature. Combined with over twelve years of educational experience, these qualifications allow me to support students with both foundational reading development and deeper comprehension skills.
Religion

Religion

I have a MA in Philosophy, which I focused on Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. I also studied Saint Thomas Aquinas during graduate school. I also have a certificate of completion from Rhema Bible Training. Center, and spent a year studying the Theology at Oral Roberts University.
