I'm Teacher Erika, and I believe that learning should be as dynamic and joyful as it is educational. In my classes, I combine the power of mindfulness, movement, and fun to create a learning environment where students thrive both academically and emotionally.
As a certified K-12 teacher with specialized endorsements in reading, science, and social science, I bring over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. My expertise lies in teaching foundational reading skills, and I’m passionate about making reading an exciting adventure for every child.
In my classes, your child will not only learn to read but will also develop essential mindfulness and executive functioning skills that will serve them for life. We’ll move, play, and explore together, turning each lesson into an engaging experience that builds confidence and fosters a love for learning.
I’m committed to ensuring that every student grows, learns, and achieves in their unique way. I look forward to welcoming your child into my class, where we’ll embark on a fun and fulfilling journey of discovery together!Reviews
