Experience Summary
I recently retired after teaching First Grade for 22 years. I still very much enjoy teaching and am looking forward to being able to work 1-on-1 with students who are at-risk or have special needs to be successful. I have a lot of specialized training in beginning reading instruction. I have a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Reading. I have a strong ability to assess where an individual student currently is and then build their skills from there.
Teaching Style
I am very patient and enjoy getting to know my students. My strength is using hands-on learning activities. I have extensive training in multiple intelligences and many years of experience in teaching to various learning styles.
My Hobbies
Reading - of course!
Travel to places both near and far.
Volunteer work with foster children.
