About

Hello!

I am an experienced teacher shifting my workload primarily to tutoring while I stay home with my young children this school year. Last year, I worked as a learning specialist in a K-8 school and I spent 6 years teaching English in the classroom before that. I am a MA licensed English teacher and will be finished with my Master's degree in Education in just a few months, earning my MA Reading license and Orton-Gillingham certification. I have extensive experience with reading intervention and executive functioning skill development. I believe that we all have the capacity to learn, and we must honor our neurodiversity. I love watching students have "aha" moments as they push themselves to conquer challenging work.

Thank you for visiting my page!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

Depending on the student's particular needs, I will start with an assessment to get a better sense of strengths and areas of opportunity. If a student is struggling with reading, I will put together an age-appropriate assessment based on the five foundational building blocks of reading to determine where the student is struggling. Then, I will focus instruction in that area and use informal assessments to monitor progress, modifying instruction as needed.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have a degree and MA teaching license in English, SEI endorsement, and I am currently on the tail end of my graduate program which includes Orton-Gillingham certification and MA teaching licenses for both Reading and ESL. I have worked as a teacher and tutor for 6 years, starting in the high school English classroom. In my current position as a learning specialist, I have a variety of responsibilities including reading intervention, social-emotional learning, and executive functioning skill development from students in preschool to 8th grade.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

Lessons are typically priced at $70/hr due to my level of experience and education. I am happy to work with families on pricing as needed.
