"I am a mother of 5 and a teaching assistant in an elementary school with 9 years' experience in grades K-3. I have learned through helping my own children at home and from working with some of the best teachers in my area. I have 2 years of college in general studies and am looking into getting my teaching degree.

I love reading and helping children learn to read. Finding what appeals to each child and what works best with them is a challenge I enjoy. I believe learning can be fun and will do my best to make it fun for your child.

I have worked in grades K-3 helping children in all areas of study. I have also worked summer reading programs at my school that give children access to books throughout the summer as well as several years of summer school to help children get the extra help they need to succeed.

I have worked with children whole group, small group and individually to help them reach their goals.

I have hands on experience on a daily basis throughout the school year with elementary age children. I have helped children first learn to make letters correctly to writing complete stories. Children have started learning common sight words to learning to spell these words correctly.

I am looking forward to working with you and helping you meet your goals!" less...
