About Tracy
With 20 years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in Reading Intervention from Arizona State University, I am passionate about helping students grow as confident readers, writers, and thinkers. I have taught students from kindergarten through high school, as well as entry-level college students, and have worked at the community college level as a reading, ESL, and critical thinking teacher. My lessons are patient, encouraging, and personalized to each student’s needs. I focus on reading comprehension, writing, essays, grammar, literacy development, and academic confidence.

Elementary School Lessons
For elementary students, lessons should feel warm, simple, and confidence-building.
What lessons would look like
Reading practice
We read short stories, passages, or books together.

I ask: Who is the story about? What happened first? What is the problem? How did the character feel?
Vocabulary building
We learn new words from the reading and use them in sentences.
Writing sentences and paragraphs
Students practice complete sentences, details, and short paragraphs.
Phonics or fluency support if needed
We work on sounding out words, reading smoothly, and understanding what was read.
