About
I have been teaching 4th grade Math, Reading and Science for three years. My passion is finding an engaging way to learn difficult content. As I understand how my students learn best, I adjust my teaching strategies to their learning methods. A general plan for my lessons include: modeled teacher instruction, guided teacher and student practice, then individual student practice and mastery of the skill. I am passionate about seeing the light bulb moment for students. Sometimes, it just takes a little extra practice to get there.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin by building a relationship. I want my students to feel comfortable to ask questions and make mistakes, this is where learning begins! I approach learning with gradual release. "I do, we do, you do!" This approach allows students to find confidence and independence. I also incorporate their learning style once I find works best.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Fine Arts. I have been teaching 4th grade math, reading, and science for three years with experience in teaching online and in person.
