Parents, I am no longer taking new students.
All I have to do is hear someone talk about a child who is having trouble learning to read, and I begin trying to diagnose the problem. I want to help that child, because this is what I have devoted my career to doing.
I am passionate about teaching reading.
My professional experience and training have given me a variety of teaching approaches to choose from, and you can be sure that part of what I love about teaching reading is figuring out who my students are and what they need.
I am prepared.
Kids enjoy working with me. They immediately gain confidence, as they feel themselves progressing, and my teaching style is encouraging, supportive. I joke around a bit, but at the same time, hold high standards for my students and try to stretch them as much as their ability, maturity, and personality will allow. Maybe my crazy earrings help, too!
We will have fun as your child progresses.
I knew I wanted to be a teacher as a preteen. My younger sisters were students in my “school” in the attic, where my curriculum was a modified version of Go to the Head of the Class.
Teaching is in my bones.
Parents, I welcome you to contact me about tutoring your child. If you would like to learn more about my background, please ask me to send you a resumé.
