About

I am an elementary level educator who is passionate about teaching literacy and English language learners using the methods supported by the science of reading. I will be taking the Orton Gillingham training at the end of February and look forward to using that training to help students be successful and confident in their reading.

I have 7 years of kindergarten teaching experience in Arizona public schools where I served the ELL population by helping kindergarten students prepare each year for the state language acquisition assessment and am currently certified in Early Childhood Education (birth-3rd grade in the state of Virginia. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and a Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

I have over ten years experience as a tutor at a tutoring center where I use assigned curriculum and tailor it to each child's needs.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with your kindergarten through 3rd grade child in the areas of reading, math, and English language.
