New Bern Tutor, I Can Teach Your Kid To Read

Hi! I’m launching a new elementary literacy resource this summer and am looking for someone experienced with Teachers Pay Teachers store setup and product previews.

I need help with:

• creating professional TPT product previews
• designing thumbnails / covers
• uploading and formatting product listings
• organizing my TPT store

The resource is for elementary reading instruction (grades 1–2 classroom / 1–4 homeschool) and will launch July–August.

I’m looking for someone who:

• has experience working with Teachers Pay Teachers sellers
• understands teacher product previews and listings
• can help optimize listings so products are easy to find

Experience working with Teachers Pay Teachers stores is a must.

Please comment or message me with:

• examples of TPT previews or stores you’ve worked on
• your typical pricing structure.

Thank you!

Celebrating 5 Years! 🎉

Five years ago yesterday, I met my very first student at Bella’s Café in downtown New Bern. From there, lessons popped up anywhere we could—coffee shops, libraries, parks, even my sailboat!

Since then, New Bern Tutor has grown into five years of connecting with amazing families, watching kids go from “I hate reading” to giggling over books and proudly sharing what they’re reading at home. That’s the magic that keeps me going. 💛

A huge thank-you to my first families for trusting me, cheering me on, and sending referrals, updates, and pictures over the years. You were the spark!

And a special shout-out to Emma Sandilands for nudging me to try online lessons (game changer ). Now I’ve had the joy of teaching kids across the globe—all while still adventuring with my own family.

I’m so grateful for this path, and excited for what’s next (new things on the horizon for NBT). Here’s to the next five years of readers, families, and creativity! www.newberntutor.com

Daily Reading Matters!

Did you know that just 20 minutes a day is the recommended reading time for elementary-aged kids?

It may not seem like much, but it’s one of the most powerful things you can do to support a beginning or struggling reader.

A new school year is the perfect time to build strong, consistent reading habits — and I’m here to help!

I offer 1-on-1 and small group reading instruction and consultations designed to:

✔️ Support your child’s unique reading needs
✔️ Help you feel confident in your daily instruction
✔️ Set up the best reading routines for long-term success

Let’s make this your best reading year yet!
