"As a certified Reading Specialist and Elementary Educator with over 24 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping young learners become confident, capable readers. I’ve served in many roles throughout my journey — classroom teacher, literacy coach, elementary school principal, and now Director of Literacy for a public school district. Each of these roles has deepened my understanding of how children learn to read and how to best support them at every stage of their development. I hold a Master’s Degree in Reading and advanced certification in school administration, and I’m passionate about bringing research-based, high-impact strategies into every tutoring session.

My approach is warm, encouraging, and personalized. I specialize in working with K–6 students who need support with foundational skills, fluency, comprehension, or confidence. I’ve worked with children in one-on-one and small group settings, as well as supported district-wide reading intervention and curriculum initiatives. I take time to really get to know each learner — their strengths, their challenges, and what motivates them — and I design engaging, targeted lessons to match. Whether a child needs intensive intervention or just a boost in confidence, my goal is always to create a safe, positive space where learning feels achievable and progress is celebrated." less...
