Hello! I’m Brenda, a certified K–5 teacher with a Master’s degree in Reading and 30 years of classroom experience teaching all elementary grades. I specialize in reading, phonics, writing, comprehension, math, and homework support, and I tailor each lesson to meet the unique needs of your child.
My Teaching Method & Techniques
I use a structured, supportive, and interactive approach, combining proven literacy strategies with individualized guidance. Lessons often include:
• Guided reading and phonics practice
• Comprehension and writing exercises
• Hands-on problem solving for math
• Positive reinforcement to build confidence
I focus on engaging students actively, making learning enjoyable while ensuring they master key skills.
A Typical Lesson Plan (45–60 minutes)
1. Greeting & check-in (5 min) – brief discussion about previous work or current focus
2. Skill practice (10–15 min) – phonics, reading fluency, or math
3. Guided reading / application (15–20 min) – reading passages, writing, comprehension exercises
4. Wrap-up & feedback (5 min) – summarize progress, set next steps
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
• Decades of experience: I’ve taught every grade in elementary school
• Advanced expertise: Master’s in Reading and ZA endorsement
• Customized lessons: Each session is tailored to the child’s current skill level
• Confidence-building: I emphasize encouragement and creating a positive learning environment
Who the Lessons Are For
My tutoring is designed for elementary students (K–5) who need support in reading, writing, math, or homework. Lessons are ideal for children:
• Working on phonics or reading comprehension
• Building writing and math skills
• Needing extra help or enrichment outside of school
I also offer online lessons via Zoom, making sessions accessible from home while keeping them interactive and engaging.
