Greetings,
I am Ms.Iid. I have M.Ed as a reading specialist. As an elementary teacher by profession and a reading specialist by heart. I have taught first, second, and third grade for almost a decade. I have also served as a dyslexia specialist. I firmly believe that every child has the ability to become a proficient reader. I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of effective reading instruction and its impact on students' confidence, academic success, and overall love for learning. My journey as an educator has led me to specialize in working with struggling readers, those who may be experiencing difficulties with fluency, decoding, phonemic awareness, blending, segmenting, and comprehension. I have made it my mission to understand the intricacies of reading instruction and to discover innovative strategies that engage and motivate students to develop strong reading skills.
Through personalized and interactive sessions, I will provide individualized support to students who need extra guidance in building their reading abilities. Whether your child is a beginning reader or struggling with specific reading challenges, I am dedicated to tailoring my instruction to their unique needs, helping them gain confidence and excel in their reading journey.
My goal is not only to address immediate reading difficulties but also to equip students with the essential tools and strategies that will foster a lifelong love for reading. I strongly believe that with the right support and a nurturing learning environment, every child can succeed in mastering the reading framework.
I invite you to join me on this educational journey, where we can work together to unlock your child's full potential as a reader. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to discuss how I can best support your child's reading goals.
Thank you for considering my tutoring services, and I look forward to the opportunity to guide your child towards reading success.
Warm regards,
