Hi! My name is Natalia, and I am a kindergarten teacher with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education for grades PK–4 from PennWest Edinboro, which I earned in May 2025. I have also completed graduate coursework in reading education. I enjoy helping children build foundational skills, gain confidence, and discover that learning can be rewarding.
My teaching experience includes kindergarten, high school Spanish, and serving as a summer lead teacher for second- and third-grade children. In my current classroom, I teach early reading, writing, and math using programs including CKLA and i-Ready. I work with students on blending sounds, beginning reading, handwriting, counting, and number recognition. I also lead small-group instruction to support students with different learning needs.
My tutoring would focus on early elementary reading, phonics, writing, and math. I would begin by learning about your child's strengths, challenges, and goals, then plan lessons with clear modeling, guided practice, and engaging activities. My approach is patient and encouraging, with specific feedback and opportunities to practice skills in manageable steps. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes as they learn. I would also communicate with families about progress and simple ways to reinforce learning between sessions.
