About Alex


Bio

Hi there, I'm Alex. I was a fourth grade gifted and talented teacher for four years. I was a librarian and reading and writing specialist for one year. However, because I love fourth grade so much, I decided to switch back to fourth! So, I taught fourth-grade again from 2020-2023.

I graduated from Louisiana State University in 2014 with a degree in Elementary Education. In August 2018, I earned my Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Lamar University. I recently graduated...

Hi there, I'm Alex. I was a fourth grade gifted and talented teacher for four years. I was a librarian and reading and writing specialist for one year. However, because I love fourth grade so much, I decided to switch back to fourth! So, I taught fourth-grade again from 2020-2023.

I graduated from Louisiana State University in 2014 with a degree in Elementary Education. In August 2018, I earned my Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Lamar University. I recently graduated with my doctorate in educational leadership with a concentration in reading from UHCL. I currently serve as a College Access Program Manager.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked for a summer camp and it was the most fun ever! During the school year, I would design songs, dances, and games into my lessons to make them more fun for my students.
Personally, I love reading and try to encourage my students and all kids to read as much as they can.

I am certified to teach Elementary Grades to 6th grade, and English II.

During the school year, I build my students' reading comprehension through interesting class novels and high-interest books. I also get the students engaged in writing through creative writing prompts and providing them with grammar tidbits and mentor examples to make the writing process easier.

Since I like to see students feel confident and successful, I decided to try my hand at tutoring. I had a tutor from second grade until high school graduation, so I am excited to give back to others. I want to strengthen your child's weaknesses, transform their learning experience, and keep them from experiencing a lack of confidence in their abilities.

ACT English

I am an experienced English Language Arts teacher with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a concentration in reading. I’ve taught 4th grade, English II at the high school level, and served as a school librarian, giving me a strong foundation in supporting readers and writers at all stages. My expertise includes reading comprehension, essay writing, grammar, and test preparation (STAAR, SAT/ACT English, AP English). I create engaging, personalized lessons that help students build confidence and succeed in English.

I am a past high school English teacher. I have experience individually tutoring students to enhance their reading and writing abilities. I look forward to working with your student!
Grammar

Grammar

I teach my fourth-grade students grammar extensively to build up their writing skills. Without the proper grammar instruction, the students writing would not be as strong.
Reading

Reading

As an avid reader, I try to pass on my love for reading to any children that I come in contact with. To be a better reader, you must read more. I typically am able to build students' interest in reading by identifying high-interest texts that students like. I am a certified reading teacher and have a high Reading STAAR passing rate.
STAAR

STAAR

I have been a fourth-grade teacher in HISD for the last three years. I teach reading, writing, and language arts to gifted and talented students. I like to incorporate movement and gamify lessons when possible. Over the last three years, I have taught just over 100 students. Out of those students, the number of students who have not passed reading or writing STAAR under my teaching remains in the single digits.
Writing

Writing

I am a fourth-grade writing teacher. But I tutor one of my former students who is now in 7th grade in writing.
