Currently, I teach reading and reading comprehension skills to elementary and middle school children. My experience in this area spans several decades, encompassing reading classes at my former Child... Development Center - Bright Beginnings, Lighten Academy, and Tutor Me Education. I also taught reading to my children when they were younger, whom were both home-schooled. read more

Hi! I'm Donna! I am a life-long native of Upstate New York and have a passion for teaching children. I especially love teaching English. My philosophy is that children are like "seeds that need wat... ering so they can blossom and grow into beautiful and colorful flowers in full bloom!" I want to help children discover their hidden talents so they can build the confidence needed to be successful in every aspect of their lives, both now and in the future. My teaching style is fun, energetic, and engaging. I smile a lot and encourage the children to be the best versions of themselves they can be. I never use punitive discipline, such as shaming or ridicule. I feel that positive reinforcement nets the greatest rewards. My hobbies are reading, writing, hiking, swimming, traveling, crocheting, learning Italian, and entertaining family and friends. I like forward to meeting your children!read more
