I'm a credentialed K-12 teacher and a private tutor. I have taken the Lindamood Bell Seeing Stars and Vizualizing and Verbalizing workshops, and completed training with LearnUp (An Orton-Gillingham based Dyslexia Program). I have B.A. in Literature from U.C., Berkeley, and a K-12 Multi-Subject Teaching Credential from Dominican University, San Rafael, CA. I teach literacy with an explicit, systematic phonics approach with books that correlate to the phonics being taught. I tailor every lesson to each student and use a multisensory approach in teaching. I am very sensitive to each student's learning style, emotional well-being and level of comfort. I always go at the student's pace and make sure to build their confidence at every step. It's so exciting to see my students reach their goals and bloom! I really love what I do!
I teach literacy!
I teach reading with an explicit systematic phonics approach using engaging books that correspond to concepts students are learning. We also focus on comprehension, fluency, and sight words. My students learn to compose summaries and stories as well as essays. They also learn spelling rules and patterns, and how to organize and write various types of essays. Non-fiction and fiction books and articles are read to get students accustomed to reading all genres and reading for pleasure versus reading for information.

From Pre-K to High School
I teach pre-readers, early readers, elementary, middle school students, and all the way up to high school students at all literacy levels.
