Reading Tutoring for 1st Grade

With 10 years of teaching experience under my belt, I have taught a range of grades and subjects, from 1st to 3rd grade in all subjects, as well as being a 5th grade ELA teacher.

I have been teaching for 13 wonderful years, and I am so passionate about guiding and supporting young learners in their educational journey. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught a range of grades and subjects, including Pre-K, 1st grade (all subjects), 2nd grade (all subjects), 3rd grade (math and science), and 4th grade (reading and writing). My expertise lies in elementary education, with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education, a Master's in curriculum and instruction, and a specialist degree in early childhood education. I have had the pleasure of teaching in the beautiful state of Georgia, where I have learned so much from my students and their families. In terms of teaching certifications, I hold a deep understanding and love for the littles in Pre-K and Kinder. I love 1st and 2nd grade and currently teach 1st. When it comes to online learning, I understand the importance of making it fun and engaging for my learners. That's why I incorporate music, games, and other interactive resources to keep my students actively participating and learning effectively. As a hands-on person, I also use total body response to make learning more dynamic and enjoyable. Outside of teaching, I love to dance and even teach ballet. My love for singing also influences my teaching style, as I believe incorporating music into the classroom can make learning more memorable and enjoyable for kids. I am excited to share my passions with your child and help them grow and thrive in their educational journey!

With 28 years of teaching experience, I have taught a wide variety of learners from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. My expertise lies in teaching Early Childhood Education, English as a Second Language (ESOL), and reading literacy as a Reading Specialist. My passion for teaching has taken me to two different regions - Georgia, U.S., and Johannesburg, South Africa. My Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and Master of Science in Early Childhood Education, with a Specialization in Reading and Literacy, have provided me with a strong foundation in teaching and learning. One of my main goals as a tutor is to make online learning enjoyable and effective for my learners. To make learning engaging, I use interactive methods that make my learners excited to learn. I believe in setting goals, reviewing progress, and making adjustments with modifications and enrichment when needed to ensure that online learning is effective. Outside of teaching, I love to travel, do Pilates, and read. These interests not only bring joy to my life, but they also help me with problem-solving, self-awareness, and adapting my teaching style. I’m thrilled to be a part of Dojo Tutor and connect with families and learners in a virtual learning space. As a tutor, I am dedicated to creating a positive and nurturing environment for learners of all ages. Let’s work together to make learning fun and rewarding for your child!
