Early Childhood Teacher Credentials to teach Elementary/Special Needs

Carley M.

Does your child need help with reading or writing? Does your child struggle with a disability such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or autism? I am a patient and experienced tutor who can help.
Growing up, I always had a deep love of books and learning. I could spend hours reading—going on adventures with the American Girl characters, laughing as Anne Shirley turned her hair green in Anne of Green Gables, experiencing the many babysitting adventures of The Babysitters Club, or sleuthing alongside Nancy Drew. That joy and excitement for reading is what I now strive to share with every child I teach.
I specialize in reading instruction for children ages 4–12, including students with learning differences and disabilities. My lessons focus on phonics, decoding, fluency, and reading comprehension, while always meeting each child at their individual level. I believe strong reading skills are the foundation for success in all subjects, and I work patiently to help children build both skills and confidence.
I am a lifelong learner. I graduated from Keene State College in 2013 and returned to the Community College of Vermont twice (2017–2019 and 2021–2023), earning my certification in Early Childhood Education. I continue to grow professionally through online courses via Northstar at the Community College of Vermont and Coursera. I am currently working on getting my TESOL Certification to allow me to teach ESL.
I am kind, caring, focused, and passionate about helping children succeed. I tailor lessons to a child’s interests to keep them engaged and motivated, making reading both meaningful and enjoyable.
Let’s help your child love reading and grow in confidence!
