In this 1:1 class, we read and discuss captivating books to strengthen learners' reading comprehension skills, vocabulary grammar, and writing. Personalized instruction tailored to meet each student's needs allows learners to progress at their own pace. Literature is invaluable for learners in gaining knowledge and feeling understood. Through universal themes such as family, friendship, loyalty, and empathy, books help readers connect with others and themselves.
If working on reading comprehension students will examine literary elements, including plot, characters, setting, point of view, figurative language, and vocabulary, to gain a deeper understanding of a novel. If you have specific skills that you would like me to focus on please let me know. Students may also play a fun interactive Kahoot! Game to check text comprehension.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
As a licensed teacher specializing in Reading, I have had the opportunity to support and engage students with diverse learning needs. My experience has enabled me to develop a strong understanding of different instructional strategies to ensure that all students have the skills necessary for academic success. I am passionate about creating a positive classroom environment that is both supportive and engaging, where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and participating in discussions. With my expertise in Reading instruction, I strive to help each student develop a lifelong love for reading while achieving academic goals.
My passion is literature. I believe stories make concepts more palpable to children. Stories can teach readers valuable lessons, make them laugh, and see things from a different perspective, or take them somewhere new!
When I have time, I like to travel, experience different cultures, and learn the history of people and places. I am also an animal lover! I have two dogs, have worked with animal rescues, and fostered cats and dogs for years.
If you are interested in a class and don't see a time that meets your needs, please send me with your time request. I look forward to meeting your learner in class!
