Alecia DeNee
Chesapeake, VA

Old Dominion University Mentor and English Master

English has always been a passion of mine. It has always been my favorite subject. I've always been interested in reading and analyzing literature of many genres. I write poetry, craft debates, and argumentative speeches. Additionally, I've published short stories on Story Bird. Moreover, being on the debate team, in high school, has afforded me the opportunity to respectfully and properly delve into literature with an open mind. I worked as a reading specialist for two years as well as I'm currently in a teaching role at a gifted school. The accelerated program is far more sophisticated than the lesson plan provided by the City of Hampton. I also participated in reviewing and editing English writings and thesis for my college peers. In addition to editing, I create lesson plans for my middle school students. I read and edit students' essays for standardized testing. By being in a teaching environment, it lends support to mentoring and tutoring students in English Language Arts. Teaching, tutoring, and mentoring my middle schoolers in English helps them to strategically help them build upon their vocabulary, reading proficiency, context clues, test taking skills, and overall literary devices. Lastly, holding degrees in Social Sciences and Human Services, I've had an abundance of high level English, Literature, and Philosophy courses. These courses honed in on my critical thinking skills-which allows me to teach English effectively. My love for words, grammar, and English Language Arts is a lifelong love to the art itself.

TopNotch English, Literacy, and Reading Tutor

I am passionate and love everything about English and Reading. It has been my favorite subject since learning to read. I enjoy reading books, learning about and teaching the Science of Reading, teaching early literacy skills, comprehension, and grammar. In my last position, I worked an online Early Literacy Tutor. I was responsible for a caseload of four student daily in 1:1 sessions and 1:2 sessions for two ten week sessions, one in the fall, and one in the Spring. I provided daily high dosage tutoring to kindergarten through second grade students grounded in the Science of Reading. I implemented an explicit phonics curriculum to support the development of foundational reading skills. I prepared for instruction by reviewing weekly lessons, editing lesson scripts, and creating materials to support and challenge students in their learning. I adapted learning to meet the individual needs of students based on assessment data including scaffolding. Additionally, I built strong student relationships and engagement, infusing students days with joy and sparking a love of reading and learning. I also tracked students' reading skills progress by administering bi-weekly reading assessments. I have ten plus years of experience working with little ones and teaching them early literacy and reading skills, and have taught children of all ages reading and literacy skills. I worked as a fourth grade Academic Intervention Fellow (AIF), a fifth grade Special Education Teacher, and a fifth grade ELA Distance Learning Lead Teacher. I also taught reading intervention for students that were two or more reading levels behind. I know the importance of phonics and literacy, especially in the crucial early stages. I understand reading is a key foundational skill upon which many other skills are built. Having a strong phonics foundation is an essential part of being a good reader and is a confidence boost for a lot of children. Being a good reader can open doors to so many possibilities.
