Reading lessons with an experienced and certified teacher
Hi! I’ve been working with students of all ages and abilities teaching phonics and reading to both general education and special education students for 15 years. I have 2 Masters Degrees in education, and I’m endorsed in English as a Second Language. I currently teach special education k-5 bilingual students. I love teaching reading and enjoy working with, and getting to know, my students! I work hard to make lessons fun and engaging but also effective. Building trusting relationships are an important part of student learning, so I work are to build those relationships whether they’re online or in person.

About Lisa W.
Hi! I’ve been teaching elementary school for 15 years! I have a great deal of experience teaching reading, phonics, grammar, writing, math and science to students from kindergarten through 4th grade. I’ve been teaching struggling learners/diverse learners, who are also ELL, for the past 7 years and have been teaching online for the past 9 months. I have my BA in elementary education, MA in Curriculum and Instruction, and an M.Ed in Educational Leadership.
I work hard to identify and tailor instruction to each student’s needs and create lessons that are fun and engaging. I get to know my students on a personal level to build trusting relationships as well as incorporate students’ interests into lessons. I’m flexible, honest, and hard-working.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! I can’t wait to meet you.
