About Katie

Hi Parents and Students! I’m a certified elementary school teacher with 7 years of teaching experience and specialized training in evidence-based reading instruction.

My journey as an educator began with a passion for helping young learners find their voice through reading and writing. Early in my career, I saw how easily students can become discouraged when traditional reading methods don't click for them. That realization prompted me to dive deep into the Science of Reading—mastering how the brain actually learns to decode text, build vocabulary, and construct meaningful writing.

Teaching isn't just my profession; it’s my calling. I bring that same dedication to every private lesson, ensuring your child gets the expert, targeted support they deserve.

How I Teach Reading & Writing (Proven & Structured)
Science of Reading Foundation: I utilize structured, explicit literacy techniques—focusing on phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, fluency, and deep comprehension strategies.

Custom-Crafted Resources: Instead of generic worksheets, I use original, differentiated passages and writing prompts tailored specifically to your child’s reading level and interests.

Confident Writing Skills: I guide students step-by-step through the writing process—from organizing thoughts and building solid sentences to writing clear, evidence-based paragraphs.

What You Can Expect
Structured 1-on-1 virtual or in-person sessions built around your child’s exact skill gaps

Regular, clear progress updates so you always know how your child is growing

A warm, supportive environment where students feel safe taking academic risks and building true confidence

Hi Parents and Students! I am a certified elementary school teacher with 7 years of teaching experience and specialized, evidence-based training in structured literacy. If your student is struggling with reading comprehension, feeling overwhelmed by writing assignments, or lacking confidence in school, my approach is designed specifically to change that.

Why My Teaching Methodology Is Different
Most tutors simply help kids complete their nightly homework or hand them generic, one-size-fits-all worksheets. My method is fundamentally different.

I ground all of my reading and writing instruction in the Science of Reading—the research-backed understanding of how the brain actually learns to process language:

Explicit, Systematic Skill-Building: We don't guess or skim. I teach students explicit strategies for decoding words, analyzing text structures, and uncovering deeper meaning in what they read.

Custom-Differentiated Resources: I design and utilize high-interest, multi-leveled reading passages and structured writing prompts tailored precisely to your child's exact reading level and learning style.

The RACE Strategy for Writing: I teach students how to organize their thoughts, construct powerful sentences, and write clear, evidence-backed responses that meet and exceed state standards.

Instead of temporary fixes, I give your student permanent tools and strategies they can use across every subject for years to come.

Outline of a Typical 60-Minute Session
Every lesson follows a predictable, highly engaging framework designed to maximize focus and skill growth:

Warm-Up & Fluency Booster (5–10 Mins): A quick, energetic exercise focusing on phonics, vocabulary acquisition, or targeted sentence building.

Explicit Skill Instruction (15–20 Mins): Direct modeling of a core reading or writing concept using custom visual anchors, explicit strategy breakdown, and high-interest text.

Guided & Independent Practice (20 Mins): Collaborative passage reading or writing application where I gradually release responsibility to the student, providing real-time feedback and positive reinforcement.

Wrap-Up & Progress Check (5–10 Mins): A quick reflection where the student summarizes what they learned, demonstrating mastery and ending the session on a high note of confidence.

Important Information for Families
Who These Lessons Are For: Elementary students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade (K–5) who need targeted reading intervention, writing support, state test prep, or academic enrichment.

Consistent Parent Communication: After every lesson, you will receive a brief summary detailing what skill we targeted, where your child excelled, and what we will build on next. You are never left guessing about your child's progress.

Professional & Reliable Partnership: I treat private tutoring with the same rigor, meticulous preparation, and professionalism as running a high-performing classroom.
