I’ve always loved to read and my goal is to share my passion with my students through a variety of teaching techniques that suit them best. I currently assist elementary students in a classroom settin... g and one-on-one with reading and comprehension. I’m also a virtual reading tutor at Amplify, which is a literacy program that uses phonics instruction. My first time being a reading tutor was in middle school. I would tutor students K-5th grade in reading. Since then I’ve grown as a tutor, and I actively participate in educational professional development to continue to improve my teaching skill set. I also enjoy reading a good book in my free time. read more

Hi! My name is Rose, I love reading and helping students not only become better readers and writers, but also have an appreciation for it. I’m happy to help students reach their learning goals by h... elping them with materials they provide and/or creating personalized lessons. I've loved reading since I was a child. I enjoy introducing students to new novels along with books I used to love to help them reach their reading goals. Typically, I like to incorporate reading into my teaching plan whether the student's goal is to become a better reader or writer. Reading helps students subconsciously become better writers by exposing them to new vocabulary, sentence structures and new ideas. I also like to use nonfiction and fictional stories. This allows students to use practical insight as well as their imagination because both are needed to be strong writers.   I’m currently a virtual reading teacher at Amplify, which is a literacy program that uses a phonics based curriculum. At Amplify, I work with kindergarten through 6th grade and participate in their monthly professional development trainings. Periodically, I assist teaching in a classroom setting helping students with reading and writing. I’m also an in person substitute. I graduated cum laude from Frostburg State University with a major in mass communication and a focus in journalism. While in college, I was an entertainment writer for the school newspaper and the writer for the Social Marketing Team. I studied journalism abroad and wrote a published feature story. I also volunteered abroad and taught Spanish speaking students ages 5-7 in a summer camp. I believe everyone can have love for reading and writing if you have the right materials and comprehension skills. As a tutor, I want to share my passion with others and help them with their studies/creativity. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!read more
