I am a a graduate from West Virginia University with a B.S. in Business Administration. Additionally, I have a M.S. in Reading K-12 from Nova Southeastern University. I have over 20 years experience serving students by helping them achieve academic success with 15 years as a certified Reading Specialist. I am passionate about student achievement, as I believe every child can learn through hard work, strategic teaching, and persistence. This belief is passed along to my students so they know their brains can get smarter. I enjoy teaching students who are struggler readers while I use multiple research-based reading strategies to meet each child's needs. Although I am a certified reading specialist, I also tutor students in math and writing. In my spare time, I enjoy taking hikes, riding my bike, spending time with family and reading.

I have worked at an amusement park, I have been a hairstylist, a wife, a stay at home mom, a college student, a special education teacher, and a reading specialist . . . in that order! My education continues as I learn more about reading research. I encourage my students to reach for their dreams, do their best, become independent, and love themselves as they are. I have a special interest in hidden disabilities and I do not see a person as disabled. I believe that a person is not the label; they are so much more than that and should never settle for anything less than they deserve.

I am an elementary school teacher and reading specialist who loves helping my students find joy and empowerment through reading. Reading is the key to unlocking knowledge across subjects, including math and science, which I also have experience in and enjoy teaching.

I am an English instructor dedicated to enriching the lives of my students. I hold a BA in English Language and Literature from The University of Chicago and an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School. Over the years, I have merged my love of language and literature with my long-standing commitment to the welfare of children and young adults. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a substitute teacher, classroom aide, afterschool mentor, and teaching artist. I have also recently served as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan. From these experiences, I have developed a fluid understanding of teaching methods and a keen sense of students' diverse learning styles. I can tutor various English subjects, such as PreK-12 ELA curricula, ELL literacy, composition, creative writing, and ESL (conversational English) instruction; I also offer writing support to new and prospective college students, helping them craft effective admissions essays and persuasive course papers. Essentially as an educator, I believe in fostering a holistic, student-centered teaching/learning environment that prioritizes curiosity, inquiry, critical thought, and conversation. I aim to actively inspire and empower my students, equipping them with the tools to thrive throughout their academic journey.

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Waynesburg University. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education nK-6 with a minor in Children's Literature. I earned a Special Education certificate from Waynesburg University. I am also certified to teach Middle School Science, Social Studies and English.I have over 20 years of teaching experience focusing in grades 3-8. I have instructed students in Reading, English, Science and Social Studies. I have tutored students in China as an ESL instructor as well as tutored graduate students the study/test taking skills needed to excel on their standardized tests. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading and English, Literature, and Science. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, exercise, bicycle riding, music and arts and crafts.

Hello I am a Learning Specialist at a Private school in North Carolina. I have been teaching for 7 years. I obtained my Bachelor's in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I also hold a Masters in Administration and Supervision and I am licensed in the state of North Carolina to teach K-12 Special Education and General Curriculum to students. I enjoy keeping students engaged and absolutely love for my students to have fun while learning!

I have been lucky enough to work with many students as an educator for the past 10 years. I received my Bachelor of the Arts in Psychology for Marian University in Indianapolis and my teaching certification from Indiana Wesleyan University. Since becoming a teacher, I have worked with students in many different settings from rural to urban in both private and public schools. My prior teaching experience has been diverse as I have been a general education teacher, Title I teacher, language arts teacher and special education teacher. In fact, I have had the opportunity to work with students in grades 1st-8th at some point during my career! While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about reading intervention and teaching the Orton-Gillingham method. In fact, I recently completed training necessary to qualify as a Dyslexia Specialist in Indiana. The most rewarding things about being a teacher is seeing my students have that "AHA!" moment and grow in confidence during our time together. My philosophy when working with students is that learning should be fun, meaningful and engaging and something that sparks their interest in becoming lifelong learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially mysteries), watching movies, spending time with my family and friends and learning new things that will help me to grow both personally and professionally.

Hello! I have over 5 years experience as an elementary special education teacher, 3 years as a district special education reading specialist, and 3 years as an Educational Diagnostician, or special education coordinator supporting teacher's success developing higher understanding and implementation of special education requirements and practices.I am looking forward to helping you prepare for you journey of learning or teaching!

Anyone can learn another language, comparative/applied linguistics and simultaneous translation/interpretation at any age. I use multiple intelligences, multimodality and authentic integrated strategies to make your language learning journey one with ease, proficiency and fluency in four skills and fun!

I am a graduate of The University of Massachusetts at Boston. In this institution, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts, focusing on Elementary Education and a minor in psychology, my Master's Degree in Applied Linguistics, and a Doctorate in Leadership in Urban School Administration with a Special Education policy. Since graduation, I havetaught newcomer students and students with special education needs at the school level. Additionally, I have tutored students after school in communities with low socioeconomic status and professionals who recently moved to the United States and need to learn and improve their English to work.I have also traveled extensively, tutoring children of immigrants in Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, sponsored by the Baptist Convention.I am most passionate about English, teaching reading strategies to those who do not know how to read or struggle with reading (special education students, students with interrupted education, and dyslexia, to mention a few).In my experience, instilling an early love of reading at the elementary school level gives a child a head start on expanding their vocabulary and building independence and self-confidence. In addition, it helps children learn to make sense of the world around them and people, building social-emotional skills and, of course, imagination. My passion is teaching and training. My first passion lies in teaching students who have not learned to read in their native language; however, they may struggle to put together the sound/symbol correspondence concept, new words, and new sounds since it is difficult for students to distinguish phonetic components in new vocabulary words. My second passion is teaching special education students to develop a reading ability to increase college and career readiness. My third passion is to train teachers and support school leaders, which I have done for the last ten years at the school and state levels.I have been a firm advocate of education for the last 27 years, believing it to be essential for improved well-being, and I always impart this passion to my students. In addition, I like to train parents in my free time by teaching them different strategies to help students in their education. Furthermore, I love to travel with my family because I love to spend time with them while visiting new places.
