Brick, New Jersey

Hello! My name is Romayne Newman and I am a lifelong resident of Brick, NJ. I run a small, private tutoring business in my home office. I work with children in Kindergarten through fifth grade providing remedial instruction in reading, writing, and math.

Experience :

• I worked as an educator for 33 years retiring recently in 2020. I was a fifth grade classroom teacher for 17 years before I transferred to the position of Basic Skills Interventionist for grades K-5. This allowed me to work with children 1:1 or in small groups who struggled in the regular classroom setting and needed additional strategies in order to become successful learners. Now I continue to do what I love part time through 1:1 tutoring.

Education :

• I earned my BS in Elementary Education from the University of Delaware in 1984 and my MA in Educational Administration in 1994. Along the way I took countless seminars and classes in Reading, Writing, and Math in order to hone my skills and keep up with research based educational strategies.

Orton-Gillingham Training Information :

• In 2018 a handful of educators in my district were Orton Gillingham trained and actively using this program in their instruction. It was evident to me that our children needed a more structured, phonics based curriculum in order to become readers. I signed up for Orton Gillingham training through IMSE in 2018. I can honestly say it was the best decision I could have made to help my students. Although OG had been used with dyslexic children for years, current research indicates that all students benefit from the structured approach to teaching reading.
