My name is Alexis and I have ten years of teaching experience in Virginia. I am currently licensed both as an English teacher for grades 6-12 and a reading specialist for grades k-12. My experience lies with grades 3-12. I have had the pleasure of teaching middle and high school English, as well as serving as a reading specialist for elementary, middle, and high school ages.
I love teaching because I enjoy helping people. I especially love teaching reading and English because I love books and language, and when students are able to understand the subject because of something I've done, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment and success. I have a passion for teaching writing, and have helped more thirty students publish their own novels.
Because I have so much experience teaching English and reading, I know I can help your student achieve. My reading students (typically 2+ years behind when we begin working together) have a history of growing by more than a year's worth of growth during a year of instruction, to close the gap between grade level and skill level. As an English teacher, I had a 93% SOL pass rate.
Please contact me to learn more about me or what tutoring I can offer. I look forward to hearing from you.
