Prefer grades 1-6. I am an enthusiastic, retired elementary teacher with Master’s degrees and teaching credentials in both Education and Reading. My passion is teaching using a balance of fun and rigor that has a proven track record. I have taught all elementary grades K-6 in the classroom and have worked as a specialist and tutor with individuals and small groups. I have helped hundreds of students learn to read, using a variety of effective structures and strategies integrated with Common Core standards. The special practices I have honed over the years provide a rich learning environment and result in dramatic improvement for many students. I use focus texts connected with the student’s interests, balanced with phonics activities and games related to specific areas of need. I also love to do enrichment experiences connecting literature with hands-on activities in art, science, and history. I can integrate this with direct reading instruction. I am responsive, easy to reach, and invite follow-up questions from you after the lesson is completed. I am currently available for online lessons only and look forward to scheduling a lesson with you!
