I have been teaching for 15 years, both in the elementary classroom and as a Reading Specialist. I have taught in urban, suburban, rural, and online schools across California, New York, and Virginia. I am a certified Literacy Specialist and have a Master's degree in Teaching Language and Literacy. I am also National Board Certified in Early and Middle Childhood Literacy. I believe we are all born with an innate desire to learn and grow. I love teaching children who are intrinsically motivated and looking for a challenge, as well as those children who need support and imagination in order to ignite their love of learning again! I am offering several virtual programs for young children in reading, writing, integrated literacy, and math. I design each program to be individualized, flexible, and engaging. My classes are designed to be individualized, flexible, and engaging. I use a strengths-based approach so your child is always growing in their confidence and independence. For small group classes, I strive to help each child reach their goals, while creating an engaging learning community. For one-on-one teaching, I create a curriculum specifically for your child based on their academic goals and personal interests. While literacy is an extremely important building block to a successful future, I also believe learning is meant to be fun! I love everything about nature and exploring new places with my family. I look forward to getting to know your child and their passions!
