I'm qualified, and licensed, for tutoring in education, allied health, as well as writing. I'm an experienced teacher with 20 years in the Elementary Public School system. I retired early this past year and am still interested in supporting students one-on-one or in small groups. I want to help your child succeed! I use a growth mindset model with principles from Conscious Discipline to build a connection with my students; make learning fun, and engage them with ownership in their education. I enjoy teaching reading with interventions that use Orton Gillingham for dyslexia and struggling readers. I also have been trained in the science of reading. I enjoy taking kids back to the foundation of reading to simplify the process and make it enjoyable. I have two bachelor's degrees, including Corporate Wellness / Disease Prevention and Early Childhood Education. My Master's degree is in Instructional Design for Online Learning. I also have my Reading Endorsement, so I am highly qualified in Reading for grades K-12. I also have previous career experience in Disease Prevention and Public Health. I am able to work with, teach, train, and tutor in the allied health and wellness field. I have worked as a program manager for disease prevention. I teamed with the NIH for disease study in adolescence and have worked as a consultant for health and wellness.
