"I am a certified elementary and special education teacher with over 12 years of experience teaching students in kindergarten through sixth grade in both general education and special education settings. I hold a degree in education and maintain active teaching credentials. Throughout my career, I have supported students in reading, phonics, comprehension, writing, and foundational math skills, while also providing targeted interventions for students who need additional academic support. My experience includes working with diverse learners and implementing differentiated instruction to meet individual learning needs.

In my classroom and one-on-one teaching experience, I focus on building strong foundational skills while increasing student confidence and independence. I use research-based instructional strategies such as explicit phonics instruction, guided reading, modeling, and gradual release of responsibility to help students master skills step by step. I adapt my teaching methods based on each student’s learning style, pace, and academic goals, and I consistently monitor progress to ensure measurable growth.

I have taught in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one settings, which allows me to personalize tutoring sessions to each student’s needs. My sessions are structured, supportive, and goal-oriented, with a strong emphasis on helping students transfer skills to their classroom learning. I am passionate about helping students build confidence in reading and academic skills while laying a strong foundation for long-term success." less...
