I am a seasoned educator and reading specialist, empowering struggling readers from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade through evidence-based methods rooted in the Science of Reading. I personalize instruction, blending phonics, decoding, spelling, writing, and comprehension, fostering significant reading achievement. I have helped over 40 families move their child forward with their learning in the last 3 years. I have an established following on my Facebook pages where parents seek information about reading and tutors seek information on how to tutor online with little to no effort. My YouTube pages continue to grow their reach, as do my social media channels on Instagram and TikTok. Beyond my direct work with students, I also equip fellow tutors in the Tech Hub for Tutors with essential digital literacy and marketing skills, maximizing their impact. I support almost 200 tutors through my digital newsletter, I have worked with nearly 50 educators in one-to-one mentoring sessions in the last two years, and I have a growing private membership in The Tech Hub for Tutors. I have been a guest on the podcasts, The Online Tutor Podcast and Tutoring Tips for Teachers. I have also made several guest appearances and led educational summits including IMPACT 6 and SOAR 1 and 2.
