About Me

Experience Summary

Hi there! My name is Alyssa, and I am currently in my fifth year of full-time teaching. I have experience teaching kindergarten, second grade, third grade, and fifth grade. I earned my multiple-subject K-8 credential here in California, and was trained extensively using Common Core State Standards. I provide instruction that is rigorous and challenging for my students, while also providing extra support as necessary. I am equipped to tutor in all elementary subjects. I have received awards for my reading intervention strategies, and have witnessed a great number of struggling readers develop into fluent readers that read with expression and great comprehension skills. I also have a very systematic method to teaching writing and math using many different tools and strategies to reach all learners.

Teaching Style

As a lifelong learner myself, I believe that education should be engaging. I provide many different types of learning opportunities for my students to keep them interested and ensure that I am catering to all different learning styles.

Subject Commentary

Elementary Proficiency: Expert
I have taught all elementary subjects in a self-contained classroom for the last 5 years.
Elementary Phonics Proficiency: Expert
I am extremely skilled in this area and often see massive growth in my students' reading fluency.
English ESOL Proficiency: Expert
I have worked with ESL students my entire teaching career. During my first four years of teaching, my classes were made up primarily of ESL students. I have been trained in SDAIE and GLAD strategies which help me to support my ESL students in understanding material.
Math This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have five years of experience teaching Common Core math at the elementary level. I have received extensive training and done research on teaching according to the Common Core State Standards. I have also completed training in Cognitively Guided Instruction and have some background in tutoring Algebra.
Reading This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
Teaching reading is my #1 passion! I have had massive success in teaching students to learn to read and also to read to learn. My school district has video taped my small group reading instruction as a model for all second and third grade teachers in the district to follow. I have watched many students go from struggling readers to readers who thrive and love to read! I also studied reading comprehension for my Master's thesis and received the Educational Teacher-Researcher Award, graduating at the top of my class!
Reading Comprehension Proficiency: Expert
Please see above explanation of my reading instruction.
Writing This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I teach writing in a very systematic and simple-to-follow method. My students have gone from being students who dislike writing and write short essays with many errors, to students who love writing and write beautifully constructed multiple paragraph essays teeming with descriptive language and free from errors!
