With over three decades of experience in elementary education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to fostering student success. My expertise lies in special education, particularly in using the multisensory structured language education approach to enhance learning. I hold an Orton-Gillingham Teacher Certification and a Master of Science in Instructional Design, with a focus on Online Teaching and Learning. My skills extend to language arts, writing, comprehension, and elementary math, with a strong emphasis on foundational reading skills like phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and spelling. My passion for teaching is reflected in my interactive and supportive online lessons, which are enriched with visual aids to ensure engaging learning experiences. I believe in understanding each student's unique needs, which I achieve through daily informal assessments, allowing me to tailor my instruction and help build not only academic skills, but also self-confidence in my students.
