About
I have 5 years of experience tutoring students of all ages in English, Writing and Reading. I can help support students through all stages of Reading Development. I also have experience teaching students Study Skills.
Learning to Read and Write is hard work. It is my goal as an educator to instill confidence into the students I work with. I will meet them at the level they are and work with them to progress beyond grade level.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I start by getting to know the student and building a relationship with them in the first session. Once I get to know them and figure out their needs, I draft a personalized lesson plan to help get them where they want to be.
If a student is looking for help with a particular assignment then I will start the session off right away by helping them with their assignment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working in Education for the past 3 years. I have 5 years of tutoring experience. I have a BA in Communications. I am currently working towards a Masters in Education.
I worked as an interventionist for 1 year. In this position I differentiated instruction for students with exceptionalities and English Language Learners. Also, I guided students through social-emotional learning curricula and concepts.
I currently work as a teacher for the Institute of Reading Development. In this position I equip students of all ages with the skills they need to become stronger readers and writers. I work with students on: developing phonemic awareness, fluency training, paragraph & essay structure and other reading and writing skills. I provide a variety of learning materials and resources for students related to reading development. I provide parents with ongoing progress reports and documentation on their childs progress.
