Empathetic Reading Coach

I am dedicated to providing insightful reading coaching while attending to a child's school-based social and emotional development.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and a Master's Degree in Childhood Education. I also have experience working as a classroom teacher in an ICT class, Special Education paraprofessional with students with ADHD and ASD, and Clinical Therapist (completed while pursuing a Master's Degree in Social Work).

If your child:

  • has difficulty concentrating, ADD or ADHD

  • has underdeveloped fine motor skills that make writing painful or frustrating

  • missed school or reading instruction in previous grades (due to COVID or for any other reason)

  • changed schools and is having difficulty acclimating

  • learns best when things are explained with patience and empathy

  • learns best when things are explained in ways that are relevant and engaging

  • has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan

Possible Scenarios

Then, I would be happy to assess their reading skills and create a strategic plan for improvement. By understanding strengths, interests and preferences, I can combine direct instruction, customized learning tools and engaging activities to help your child become a more proficient reader!
