Experience
I have taught in elementary classrooms for the past five and a half years (grades 1, 2, 3, and 5). I have also tutored in small groups and one-on-one for the past eight years. This past year, I am proud to say that my classroom students grew an average of 28 words per minute in their reading fluency and 3 levels in their reading comprehension. They were able to grow an average of 1.2 grade levels in math and the principal of the school commented how they were "the best second grade writers that he has ever seen." The teaching methods that I use in order to bring out the success in a student depends on how he/she responds to certain strategies and how he/she learns the best. This could be through games, manipulatives, repeated readings, think-alouds, etc. I understand how important it is to fill educational gaps. By working closely with you and providing interventions for your little one, I am confident that we will have them ready for the next grade level!
