Elementary Skill-Gap Intervention Tutor | Reading, Phonics, Math

Kendall C.

I am currently completing my graduate degree in education and am pursuing licensure in elementary education. I have several years of experience working in elementary school settings, including both classroom and intervention-based roles. My work has focused heavily on early literacy development, phonics instruction, and foundational math skills. I have experience supporting students through structured phonics programs, classroom curriculum such as Savvas, and online intervention tools such as i-Ready. These experiences have allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how to identify learning gaps and provide targeted instruction that supports measurable growth and increased student confidence.

I currently work in a Response to Intervention setting where I support Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 students through both small-group and individualized instruction. In this role, I regularly work with students in kindergarten through fifth grade, providing academic support in reading, phonics, fluency, comprehension, math foundations, and problem-solving skills. I use student data to guide instruction and to provide interventions that are structured, intentional, and encouraging, with an emphasis on building both skill mastery and academic confidence.

In addition to classroom-based instruction, I have experience working one-on-one with students who need additional reinforcement, test readiness support, and homework guidance. I prioritize clear communication with families and strive to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and celebrating progress. My goal as a tutor is to provide personalized instruction that strengthens foundational skills while helping students become confident, independent learners.
