Hi! My name is Deb. I have 30 years experience teaching public elementary school. Most of my experience has been working with Primary grades K-2 and helping them prepare a strong foundation of reading skills, phonics, and mathematics. I am certified ESL, GT, and special education as well. I'm looking forward to helping your child make progress and feel great about their achievements! One on One tutoring is what many children need in order to bridge the gap they may be experiencing at school. I LOVE all areas of teaching from tutoring students that have slipped a bit behind, those that need additional lessons to stay current, and students who need the extra challenge above their normal coursework. I have a lot of passion for helping the little ones learn to read. Their excitement and energy motivate me and I recycle that right back at them with pride in their accomplishments! Let me know what your child is needing and we can make a plan to get them back on the "I can do this!" attitude and feel that sense of accomplishment everyone wants to feel.
