I am a certified Pre-K to 6th grade educator with over 11 years of classroom experience teaching both 1st and 3rd grade. During my time in the classroom, I also served as a team lead, supporting fellow teachers in instructional planning and student achievement. I have extensive experience helping students build strong foundations in reading, writing, and math, and I have successfully prepared students for Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments by strengthening their skills and confidence.
I specialize in reading instruction grounded in the Science of Reading, with training in phonics and experience using the VALLSS assessment to identify specific areas of need. I use this data to create targeted, structured lessons that help students close gaps, improve fluency and comprehension, and develop lasting academic skills. My approach is systematic, patient, and personalized to meet each student where they are.
My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them feel confident and capable. I create engaging, supportive lessons that encourage students to take ownership of their learning and develop a love of reading and learning that will benefit them for years to come.
