Hi, I'm Laura and I live in Fort Myers, FL! I was a teacher for 12 years, and I graduated in May with my master's degree in occupational therapy! I love tutoring because the one-on-one quality time ... provides the opportunity to go deeper and address base level knowledge skills, as well as expand upon existing knowledge. Throughout my career as an educator I became an avid lover of the reader's and writer's workshop model. This framework guides my tutoring approach as well. I love the way these programs build the self-efficacy of each individual student. Students skills are taught and reinforced through a particular genre, and the books or writing entries are student selected. It is my hope to empower students to embrace the world of literature and build their confidence, skills and strategies related to reading and writing!read more
