Reading Tutoring for 7th Grade

I'm a nationally recognized veteran language arts teacher, librarian, and teen programs administrator in Denver, Colorado. In my professional life I facilitate teacher development workshops rooted in equity and access in literacy instruction and librarianship. My work has been featured on NPR, PBS Education, KQED’s MindShift, Rethinking Schools, Learning for Justice Magazine, School Library Journal, American Libraries Magazine, and many more. I am the co-author of Liven Up Your Library: Design Engaging and Inclusive Programs for Teens and Tweens (ISTE 2022) and Seasons of Literacy: A Monthly Guide to Growing Lifelong Readers and Writers (Solution Tree 2025).

I was a classroom teacher for 14 years, teaching reading, writing, and social studies for 4th through 8th grade on the southside of Chicago. I stepped into tutoring with Dojo Tutor in early 2024, a few months after my daughter was born! I hold a Master's in Education from Northwestern and a Bachelor's of Science in History with a minor in Elementary Education from Grand Valley State University. I currently hold a professional educator's license as well. My personal interests and hobbies include gardening, singing, playing piano, being active, cooking, and spending time with my husband and daughter.

I have been teaching for eight years and have experience teaching learners in grades EC-12. I have taught in various states and regions, including Texas, Maryland, Georgia, Colorado, Arizona, and South Carolina. I have also taught in China, bringing a global perspective to my teaching. Regarding my education, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in both History and Anthropology. I also have an MS degree in Management with a focus on Public Relations and an MBA. I am a certified Special Education teacher for grades EC-12, as well as certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12 and English as a Second Language (ESL) for grades EC-12. These qualifications have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide a personalized and practical learning experience for your kids. When it comes to online learning, I am dedicated to making it fun and engaging for my students. As a high-energy teacher, I love to incorporate props, games, and even bad (but funny) jokes into my lessons. I also believe in personalizing lessons for each learner and using gamification to keep them motivated and excited about learning. I am also a big advocate of encouraging questions and using checks for understanding to ensure that online learning is effective for all my students. Outside of teaching, I have a range of hobbies and interests that keep me inspired and creative in the classroom. I love reading and writing, and I even enjoy building websites in my free time. I am also passionate about gardening, cooking, swimming, and playing pool. When I'm not teaching or pursuing my hobbies, you'll find me indulging in my love for Marvel and DC comics or binge-watching crime dramas like NCIS. I also adore spending time with my dogs and cats, who bring joy and companionship to my life and teaching style. I look forward to getting to know your family and helping your kids reach their full potential through our online learning sessions together!

I have been teaching for 8 years and have experience in a variety of subjects, including AVID, World History, and U.S. History. For 5 years, I also tutored English and Reading, both in person and online. I have taught in South Florida and hold a B.S. in English. I am certified to teach Social Studies, and my previous experience as an English and Reading tutor has given me a strong foundation in language and literacy. I believe that my diverse background allows me to cater to the unique needs of each of my learners. I make online learning fun and engaging by incorporating my students' interests into the lessons and creating interactive games. I understand how important it is for learners to feel special and have their individual interests included in their learning. To ensure that online learning is effective, I establish clear learning objectives and maintain a consistent structure. This allows my students to feel confident and engaged, knowing what to expect and that they will have fun while learning. In my free time, I love to volunteer at church, read books, and go on nature walks with my Chiweenie. My love for volunteering has made me a patient and supportive teacher, while my passion for reading allows me to bring engaging stories and discussions into my lessons. I am excited to share my interests and teaching style with your family and make learning a fun and enjoyable experience for your child. I look forward to working with you and your family!

I have been teaching for 17 years and have taught all subjects for PK3 to 6th grade. I have had the pleasure of teaching in Texas, specifically in Region 4 and 10. I hold a BSIS with a minor in Early Childhood Education and a MSED in Educational Administration. My teaching certification is EC-4. My goal as a tutor is to make learning enjoyable and effective for your child. I use various strategies to make online learning engaging, such as authentic conversations and ice breakers. I am a self-proclaimed goofball and love to have fun and create lasting memories with my learners. I utilize the tools available on Lesson Space, like reactions and other modalities, to make learning a fun and interactive experience.

Hi! I’m a certified English teacher who loves helping students grow as readers and writers. I’ve spent years teaching elementary, middle, and high school ELA and tutoring students in everything reading-related. I believe every student can succeed with the right support. My sessions focus on building confidence, breaking down tough concepts, and making learning meaningful and fun.

Hello, my name is Shannon. I work with students in grades K through 8 to strengthen their reading and math skills. My goal is to increase content knowledge and make learning enjoyable and interactive. During our sessions, I focus on building an understanding of content through engaging activities — reading practice, whiteboard interactions, word problems, and giving stickers to keep students motivated. Over time, I want students to gain better academic results and greater confidence in their ability to learn. I look forward to meeting you and helping you and your student learn.
