Bio
With 22 years of experience teaching Early Childhood through 4th grade, I specialize in helping students build strong reading and literacy skills through engaging, research-based instruction. I am a certified teacher with extensive experience supporting diverse learners, including students who need extra support in reading, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and foundational academic skills. My teaching approach is patient, encouraging, and individualized to help each child grow in both confidence and ability. I create a warm, positive learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and celebrating progress. Whether your child needs intervention, enrichment, or extra practice, I strive to make learning meaningful, effective, and enjoyable. My greatest joy is watching students gain confidence and experience those exciting “lightbulb moments” when new skills click.
