Dyslexia is one of my top subjects!

I have taught Kindergarten - 5th Grade general and special education for over 20 years. My passion is helping students overcome learning difficulties. In addition to holding teaching credentials, I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham, and Lindamood-Bell. My specialty is helping elementary students with reading, but I am able to effectively teach math as well.
I am a positive and caring teacher. I identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, and develop an individualized plan to support them. I believe that young learners need multi-sensory instruction to be the most successful.

Reading and Phonics Specialist

I specialize in teaching dyslexic students how to read. I have my BA in English from UC Berkeley and my MA in Teaching Reading and Writing. I have been teaching systematic reading and phonics instruction since 2009, and am very passionate about teaching reading skills. I am experienced in all the major well-researched reading methodologies. With the program I use, I have watched students jump two grade levels in reading within 6 months of instruction. I teach students skills to decode words using phonics, along with the most common sight words in the English language. To improve fluency and reading comprehension, I incorporate texts that are both engaging and challenging for students into the lessons. I also teach students who struggle with spelling, helping them master the most common sound patterns, sight words and sight syllables to greatly improve their spelling. I love what I do ... read more

I make learning interesting.

I believe in hands on learning. I found out the best way you learn and help you discover your strengths for learning.
As a lifetime learner, I like to share my love of learning with others. My specialty is helping those who have difficulty learning something. I love math but like to teach it so it can be applied to life situations. I believe technology can help us learn but can also overwhelm us. As a special education classroom teacher for two years, test scores for special education students also went up for two years.

I am credentialed in both general education and special education. I have experience working with a wide variety of learners in all subject areas. I have worked with students who are simply trying to get ahead in school, students who are falling behind and need homework help, students who are about to be retained, to students who are significantly delayed and are on their own curriculum program. My special education background allows me to support all levels of students and support different learning styles.

I strongly believe that every individual has a different way of learning and understanding certain material. My goal as an instructor is to tap into what works for that person. I will pose questions and approaches to learning until I find the right method for your student. I love seeing the light bulb go off in a child's head when the material finally clicks and I strive for that moment in all my students. I am patient and have a way with words, illustrations, graphs, and analogies to make learning fun. I have had some spectacular teachers and through their inspiration I can help make your child's educational experience more enjoyable.

Teaching and working with children has been a passion for me since middle school when I was still a child myself. My advantage of working with children this young is that I understand them better then and now as an adult so I can find an effective teaching style that will help them grow. I've also taught a variety of students from deaf and hard of hearing to ESL students and am able to easily adapt to their needs and hardships. I love children and nothing is as rewarding as watching them grow, learn and gain confidence for their lives in the future.
I am an enthusiastic and driven college graduate of two time consuming majors, BS in Chemistry and a BFA in Dance. Along with two majors, I also participated in many extracurricular activities such as working, teaching children, dancing in multiple performances, baby sitting, etc. Due to my different majors, I have broadened my expe ... read more
