My name is Rachel. I am going into my 8th year teaching. I teach first grade and love helping students learn to read. For years, I worked with struggling readers and was not understanding why I couldn't help them learn. Then I came across the Science of Reading and completely shifted the way I teach. Now my students are able to read on grade level each year. I tutor students from 3k-5th grade. I take an explicit, systematic, multisensory approach to teaching, making sure to assess students to start with exactly what they need. I make learning fun in both in person and online sessions. I always provide parents with notes or a quick conference to update them on how their child is doing and what we are working on.
