Hi! I am a Certified Teacher with Bilingual and ESL certifications, with over 10 years of experience supporting young learners in developing strong literacy skills. I specialize in early reading and writing instruction for Pre-K through 2nd grade, with a strong focus on foundational literacy, phonics and vocabulary development in English and /or Spanish. As a native Spanish speaker and experienced educator, I understand how children acquire literacy in two languages and how to help them transfer skills between them. My training and classroom experience include working with diverse learners, including bilingual students and gifted and talented children, which has strengthened my ability to personalize instruction to meet each child’s needs.
Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families to build confident readers and writers by using structured, explicit literacy instruction and engaging learning strategies. I have experience teaching reading, phonics, comprehension, and early writing skills in both classroom and small-group settings for students Pre-k through 2nd. In addition to my professional background, I am also a mother of two, which gives me a practical and empathetic understanding of children’s learning journeys. My goal as a tutor is to provide high-quality, personalized and engaging instruction that helps students build strong literacy foundations and develop confidence in English and / or Spanish.
