Foundations of Literacy
Prepare your preschooler for a successful academic journey with reading and writing. I offer science of reading and brain based activities that not only make learning enjoyable but also help build a strong foundation in these essential skills. Your child can benefit from personalized one-on-one tutoring or participate in small group sessions with no more than four students.

Academic Support
This program is designed for students from kindergarten through eighth grade who face academic challenges and may not be receiving sufficient support within their school whether attending a public, charter or private school. I will provide academic support to your child by collaborating with their teachers and assisting you in advocating for your child's educational needs.
About Me
I'm Mrs. A and I am passionate about instilling a love for reading in kids. For the past 13 years, I've had the amazing opportunity to work with young students and it has been such a fulfilling journey. My teaching career began in a PreK/Kindergarten classroom where I witnessed the sheer excitement that students displayed when they started comprehending what they were reading. Then I spent three years teaching in a preschool setting, followed by four years teaching first grade and another three years in a kindergarten class. The connections I formed with my students were truly special and it was incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and succeed. Throughout my teaching experience I've encountered the challenges both students and parents face when learning to reading. That's why I'm fully committed to helping students overcome these struggles and discover the joy and ease in reading. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a focus on English Language Learners and a Master's degree in Special Education. I can't wait to help your child uncover their own passion for reading, making it an effortless and enjoyable experience.

Programs
At Mrs. A Tutoring, instruction is focused on the effective Orton-Gillingham principles. Through a combination of engaging activities, repetition, and multi-sensory experiences, students learn the essential skill of decoding words. With a focus on direct and explicit instruction, students gain a deeper understanding of the language and its underlying patterns. By breaking down language components into manageable parts, and teaching them systematically, students receive the targeted support they need to succeed.
Originally designed to address the needs of students struggling with dyslexia, the Orton-Gillingham approach has proven effective for students of all abilities. Whether students are grappling with specific learning challenges or simply aiming to enhance their language skills, instruction is designed to meet their unique needs.
