About Delonda
I am a third grade teacher and I tutor. I am a dedicated reading educator with a strong academic background and a passion for helping students succeed. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (K–6) from Athens State University and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from WGU. My training and experience allow me to provide high-quality, structured, and effective reading instruction tailored to each learner. I approach tutoring with professionalism, patience, and clear instructional goals. I use research-based literacy strategies grounded in best practices to support reading development, comprehension, and fluency. Each lesson is thoughtfully planned, age-appropriate, and aligned with the student’s individual needs, ensuring steady progress and measurable growth. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where students feel confident, capable, and motivated. By building strong relationships and setting achievable goals, I help learners develop not only essential reading skills but also self-confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. My lessons are designed for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, including those who need additional reading support, structured intervention, or enrichment. Families can trust that I bring consistency, expertise, and a genuine commitment to each student’s success.

I am a third grade teacher that tutors and my approach as a reading tutor is rooted in evidence-based literacy instruction, patience, and a deep understanding of how children learn. With a BS in Elementary Education (K–6) from Athens State University and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from WGU, I focus on building strong foundational reading skills while helping students grow in confidence and independence.
Teaching Method and Techniques
I use research-based reading strategies aligned with the science of reading, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, learning style, and pace. I incorporate multisensory activities, guided reading, explicit instruction, and ongoing assessment to ensure steady progress.
Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson begins with a brief review of previously learned skills, followed by direct instruction targeting a specific reading goal. Students then practice through guided activities such as decoding exercises, fluency practice, or comprehension strategies using leveled texts. Each lesson ends with independent practice and positive feedback, along with a short check for understanding to guide future instruction.
What Sets Me Apart
What sets me apart is my strong background in curriculum design and instructional planning, which allows me to adapt lessons effectively for struggling readers, advanced learners, and students with diverse learning needs. I focus not only on improving reading skills but also on fostering motivation, confidence, and a love for reading.
Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are designed for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, including:
Early readers learning foundational skills
Elementary students who need reading intervention or extra support
Students working on fluency, comprehension, or vocabulary development
Learners who benefit from structured, personalized instruction
I am committed to helping each student succeed by meeting them where they are and guiding them toward meaningful growth in reading.
