Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have a strong background in education, specifically in teaching foundational skills such as handwriting, reading, and phonics. As a current kindergarten teacher with experience teaching 3rd grade, I’ve worked extensively with children of varying ages to build their literacy skills. I use a patient, supportive, and individualized approach to help students succeed, ensuring that learning is both effective and enjoyable.

I’ve been teaching reading and handwriting skills online for several years, including one-on-one tutoring, where I focus on personalized strategies to meet the unique needs of each student. My approach to handwriting involves breaking down the process into manageable steps, helping students build muscle memory and fine motor skills through repetition and guided practice. This method has been highly effective for students of different skill levels.

Additionally, I emphasize positive reinforcement and create a fun, encouraging learning environment, which helps children stay motivated and confident in their progress. I’ve worked with children from ages 3 to 11 and understand how to tailor my teaching to meet the needs of each individual learner.

With a passion for teaching and a deep commitment to my students’ success, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where students feel comfortable taking risks and growing their skills at their own pace.
