"I am a certified elementary and special education teacher with several years of classroom experience supporting students in reading, writing, and math. I specialize in working with kindergarten and first-grade learners, helping them build strong foundational skills in phonics, early literacy, and number sense. I also work with students up to third grade and understand how to support them as academic expectations increase and skills become more complex.

In my classroom, I work with children of varying abilities, including students who receive special education services, students who are performing grade level, and those who simply need extra one-on-one time to feel confident. I regularly use strategies such as explicit instruction, guided practice, and scaffolded learning to help students grasp difficult concepts. My teaching style is patient, structured, and encouraging, and I prioritize creating a safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Over the years, I’ve learned that every child can succeed with the right support and the right explanation. Tutoring allows me to focus deeply on an individual student’s needs and tailor instruction to the way they learn best. I truly enjoy helping students build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and feel proud of their growth as learners." less...
