"Hi! My name is Lynn. I graduated from college in 2003 with an elementary education degree and then went on to earn a graduate level certification in ESOL. l taught for four and half years in public schools before coming home to stay with my own four daughters. I have homeschooled them for the last fifteen years. During that time, I have tutored students in writing, reading, and grammar, and provided educational support across the curriculum for fellow homeschool families.

Currently, I teach a small group of middle school writing students online and I tutor high school writing online. I have found teaching and tutoring writing is very rewarding as students learn processes and procedures for communicating well and sometimes surprise themselves with how well they can communicate their thoughts and ideas through the written word!

I also have a passion for teaching reading. I have students with dyslexia and ADHD and I know the struggles those learning challenges can bring, but I also know the reward of having a student's face light up when they finally "get it", and they're able to read and begin to enjoy it. It is one of the great joys of my life to help students engage with reading, and I do that through making instruction explicit and systematic in order to ensure academic success for each student. I believe in the power of engagement, and I do my best to make each lesson enjoyable for students so that they have fun learning and want to keep doing it!" less...
