Reading Tutoring for 1st Grade

I am an accomplished educator with nine years of teaching experience across primary grade levels, including 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. I began my teaching career in 2016 in my hometown of Hamilton, New Jersey, and have since dedicated seven years to serving students in Virginia through Hampton City Schools, Newport News City Public Schools, and currently, Norfolk Public Schools. Throughout my career, I have taught all core academic subjects and currently focus on reading instruction. In addition to classroom teaching, I possess extensive experience in academic tutoring, providing targeted support in all subject areas and preparing students for state academic assessments. My professional practice is guided by a commitment to educational excellence, equitable learning opportunities, and fostering the academic and personal growth of every student. I strive to cultivate a learning environment that promotes literacy, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning while continuously developing as an instructional leader dedicated to student success.

Hi there! 👋 I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been an educator for 17 years and have had the joy of teaching nearly every grade from Kindergarten through 5th — and I currently teach 7th grade math.

As a licensed educator in NCDPI, I am dedicated to providing quality education to my learners and ensuring their success. My teaching style is centered around hands-on learning, laboratory experiments, and incorporating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) techniques. My goal as a tutor at Dojo Tutor is to not only help your child excel academically, but also to make online learning enjoyable and effective. I achieve this by using various strategies such as role play, videos, games like pictionary, virtual field trips, and fun quizzes. I also believe in gamification, using platforms like Quizizz, Kahoot, Gimkit, and Blooket to make learning interactive and engaging for learners. Additionally, I use student presentations, videos, digital whiteboard, and provide prompt feedback to ensure the effectiveness of online learning. Outside of teaching, I enjoy hiking, cooking, and traveling. I find that my personal interests greatly influence my teaching style and methodology, making my lessons more relatable and enjoyable for learners.
