About Elizabeth
I am a credentialed teacher with 17 years of classroom teaching. I have taught and been extensively trained in Orton Gillingham, Guided Reading, as well as Readers and Writers Workshop.
Shortly after my first session with a student I conduct some low pressure assessments to help me understand what the student's strengths and weaknesses are. Then I work with him or her to set short and long term goals so that the student can track their progress. I have found that immediate and appropriate feedback provides a great incentive to keep going.
I love tutoring because I get to work one on one with students. This allows me to adapt my methods to each student's particular needs. Even after 17 years of teaching, I never tire of seeing the light in students eyes when they master a new idea or concept!
I have always been an avid reader. I started my career in sales but found it very unfulfilling. I became a Rolling Reader going into low income schools and reading to students. The students were so excited to be read to and the teachers were so happy to see me that I started thing about becoming a teacher. Within one month I had returned to school to get my teaching credential.
I am am a credentialed teacher with additional studies in literacy. I am a trained Orton Gillingham instructor. Orton Gillingham focuses on helping students with dyslexia and is research based. I find that it provides excellent instruction for all students learning to read.

I spend the first session getting to know the student and assessing where the student is in relation to his or her goals. I use these assessments to plan all of my lessons.
I have worked with students Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. I usually work with students who need additional support to catch up to their classmates, but I have also worked with students who need more challenging learning than what they are learning in the classroom.
As a reading specialist, I read Because of Winn Dixie with a small group of at risk fifth graders. I had to overcome some resistance from the boys in the group because the main character in the book is a girl. However, I persisted and won the boys over. To this day, two of the boys name Because of Winn Dixie as the book that made them love reading.
