I have had the pleasure of working with elementary age children for the past 16 years. Although I enjoyed my time in the classroom, I came to the realization that teaching beginning readers had become my true passion. Not only were my students meeting/exceeding their yearly growth goals, but the sense of pride that they felt as a result was truly priceless.
​
Therefore, at the end of the 2018-2019 school year, I stepped down from my classroom position and officially started Raising Readers tutoring. I decided to specialize and work with the same age group that I knew and loved. I am excited to provide this service to my community and look forward to meeting more amazing families on this journey.
