"Working in small groups or one on one with children has taught me that children thrive and learn with that more focused attention. I love to learn myself and when I see connections made in a student's mind, I know I have done my job and it is a great feeling. I believe it is important to have a lot of trust between teacher and student and a level of comfort and challenge. Knowing my students and their abilities and challenges helps me to use different teaching methods to foster success.

I have worked with children from pre school through 8th grade, including students with learning disabilities and emotional challenges. I find that patience and compassion go a long way toward goals we have set together. I am currently a Title 1 Reading Teacher, serving grades 4-8.

English, Literature, Reading, Vocabulary, Reading Level Testing, Math, Science, Social Studies, Religion, Basic Spanish

I'm a K-6 Certified Teacher.

I understand that there are many issues contributing to learning challenges and believe we can work through them together. Sometimes that one on one work or different teaching methods unlock what is already in a child's mind." less...
