I am a former English & Language Arts (ELA) tutor/teacher assistant for grades K-5 and a current high school teacher. I see so many students that are not where they need to be when it comes to reading in high school. I think a great deal of this comes from not having that strong foundation that is needed in elementary school/younger ages. 

I believe that reading is fundamental. I want students to develop a love for reading. Students should read because they love to and want to, not because they have to.

This is why I am passionate about teaching students how to reading because it is important not just in school, but in life period. 

My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that one of the main components of being a successful teacher is knowing and understanding that every single student has their own needs and requirements when it comes to learning. There should never be a “one-size fits all” approach when it comes to providing instruction because it just will not work.  This is why I love teaching so much. I love teaching because it gives me the opportunity to help others grow in whatever manner they specifically need and that is where my passion truly lies.
