Teacher - Attorney

I love everything about writing - from the initial draft to the final edits - though writing good, solid prose is no walk in the park. But the benefits to learning how to write well, never stop. Scientists have even asserted that writing causes regions of a writer's brain to become more active because the writer may be subconsciously seeing the scenes in their head that they are writing down - just as though the action were happening to them in real life. When I taught high school social studies and tutored language arts, I always made sure that my students did a lot of writing. And though it may sound old-fashioned, I do still rely on E.B. White’s Elements of Style, as the foundation for teaching my students how to write. I know it has served me well in my work as a freelance writer formulating speeches and creating promotional pamphlets. My sense is that too often students and teachers allow the mechanics of writing to get in the way of what they want to express. I often tell my students to just "write what they mean." From there we can deal with the grammatical mechanics of writing, but with an emphasis on using the active voice. Using the active voice to write can be difficult to get used to, but when appropriately put to work, it often simplifies sentence structure, eliminates unnecessary words, and forces the students to write in more compellingly and persuasively. I think it's the key to good writing.

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.
