I pride myself on being a lifelong learner and educator. I have 42 years of public education experience as a teacher and administrator. I have experience tutoring students in Grades K-5 in early literacy. i enjoy teaching students in programs based in the Science of Reading. Phonemic awareness, word recognition, vocabulary development, comprehension, writing skills, make up critical components of a balanced program. I relish the opportunity to help students master these critical skills and become confident and highly proficient in the art of Reading and Writing.
