Experience Summary
I am a tenured 1st grade teacher in the Greater Rochester area. I have spent 3 years teaching 1st grade and 1 year teaching 2nd grade. I have also had long term substitute experience in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Overall, I specialize in providing elementary reading instruction. I have my Master's degree in Literacy (Birth-Grade 6) and I thoroughly enjoy opening children's eyes to the arts of reading and writing.
Teaching Style
I look forward to working closely with you and your child to establish goals and provide individualized instruction to meet those goals. One of my main goals is to build confidence in my students. I do this by appropriately scaffolding instruction to allow students to move up the ladder of complexity at their own pace. Everyone has different needs, but it is my goal to meet these needs and get children excited about learning.
My Hobbies
I enjoy traveling, baking, and spending time with friends and family.
