Hello! I’m Sharika, a certified 5th-grade teacher with 5 years’ of experience in elementary education, along with a Master's in Education. I specialize in reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, and literacy intervention. Over my teaching career, I’ve helped students raise their reading levels by 1–2 grade levels in a single year, and I enjoy making writing fun and meaningful.
My approach is patient, student-centered, and tailored: I begin each session by understanding where a student struggles and then custom-design lessons with scaffolding, modeling, and guided practice. I incorporate games, mentor texts, writing prompts, and real-world examples to make literacy engaging.
On Wyzant, I tutor students in grades 1–5 in reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and essay writing. I also help with homework, test prep, and independent reading strategies. I look forward to helping your student build confidence and success in literacy!
