Experience Summary
I have been in the field of teaching for 16 years. I have a wealth of experience working with students in various settings, cultures and at different academic levels. I am a Language Arts/Reading/Social Studies teacher during the school year. I love to help students with reading and getting them hooked on books. I can help your child improve their reading and develop a love for it. I have also taught intensively to prepare students for the STAAR test in reading. I can help your child with strategies that are sure to improve their score or make them confident and comfortable going into the test. I also have a passion for writing. If your child is struggling with writing skills, craft, or conventions, I can help him/her.
Teaching Style
Finding a point of interest that motivates a child is extremely important. Reading and writing can seem like chores or homework for students, but helping them to see the joy of these things is key. Excitement about something can be contagious. First of all, I will get your child hooked on reading or writing. Once there is motivation, skills can be developed.
