I am an educator with over 30 years of professional experience teaching K-4 students to read. My training and experience has focused on assisting students who are having difficulty learning skills and strategies to read successfully. It brightens my day, when I see the glow in their eyes as their reading improves through employing different reading strategies. It is my goal for all students to become successful learners. Each student learns at different levels and rates. I am dedicated to working with students individually until they become the successful learners I know they were meant to be.
