"I graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and have spent the past four years teaching first grade. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of how young children learn, particularly in reading, phonics, writing, and math. Working in a full classroom setting has given me experience adapting lessons to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring each child has the support and guidance they need to succeed.

I am especially passionate about helping students build strong reading skills. I enjoy guiding children through phonics, decoding strategies, and comprehension techniques, all while making learning fun and engaging. My approach emphasizes patience, encouragement, and creating a positive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to learn.

Through my teaching experience, I have learned the importance of tailoring instruction to each student’s strengths and challenges. I focus on practical strategies that help students build foundational skills, grow academically, and develop a love of learning. I am excited to bring this experience and enthusiasm to tutoring, helping young learners succeed in reading, writing, and math while fostering confidence and curiosity." less...
