Bio
I have over 30 years of dedicated service in elementary education, and I bring a wealth of experience, passion, and leadership to every classroom. I have taught across all grades K–5, with a strong foundation in literacy instruction and student-centered learning. My expertise spans diverse roles, including Reading Interventionist, tutor, and specialist for English Language Learners and gifted students. I believe all students can learn with the proper support and encouragement. As a tutor, I aim to provide individualized instruction that engages students in their learning and increases their confidence. I enjoy getting to know my students on a person level by asking about their interest, hobbies, and other special facts. I feel that this helps to establish a relationship with my students.
