Class Experience
This private tutoring session will include a brief 5-minute "warm-up read" with a leveled text your child will be able to read independently. (If you do not know your child's reading level, please have your child take my assessment lesson.) Next, we will spend 10 minutes on word-work. Word-work will include a making words game, sorting words activity, sight words activities, or an onset/ rime manipulation activity. In the next 10 minutes, we will read a "new" leveled text on your child's instructional level. Before we read, we will go over the new vocabulary and make some predictions. Your child will then read the new story. After reading, we will spend 5 minutes discussing the book. Finally, we will write for the last 10 minutes. During this time, we will work on generating ideas, basic writing skills, and spelling strategies.
Learning Goals
Students will practice working with words to build phonics and sight word skills.
Students will practice new vocabulary and comprehension skills and strategies.
Students will practice spelling and writing strategies to compose a complete sentence.

I offer various classes including, but not limited to:
First Grade Reading, Kindergarten Reading, Phonics, Sight Words, Beginning Writing, and Private Tutoring. I also offer private reading assessments and tutoring 1:1.

My Professional Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from UNCW in 1996. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Early Childhood (ages 3-8), Elementary Education (ages 8-12), and as a Reading Specialist. I also hold an NBCT (National Board Certified Teacher) license and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and have been teaching online since 2020.
I currently homeschool two of my three children and work from home.
My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe meeting a student where they are is essential to helping them learn successfully. I offer a differentiated approach to allow all learners an opportunity to participate. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. I want all children to love reading and learning in general. I am passionate about children gaining confidence in their abilities and feeling successful.
Fun Facts:
*I have a husband and three children.
