About Me

I am an elementary school Reading and Math specialist. I received my MA in reading along with my Reading Specialist certification in 2012. I have been a teacher for 11 years and am passionate about my job. I believe that all students can be successful, but some students just need a little extra support to get there. I work with struggling students in all academic areas, and my patience, skill set, and dedication to my students as well as my ability to individualize all lessons makes me an exceptional teacher. These qualities make me an excellent tutor. I strongly believe that every child has the ability to learn and grow. However, each child is different and these differences in learning styles or prerequisite knowledge have to be taken into consideration. It is up to the teacher to find out what skills gaps each child may have and create an individualized plan to implement in order for the child to be successful. It is also equally important to highlight the student's strengths and use these strengths as a way to connect with the child.
