About Andrea
Welcome! I’m a Certified Reading and Writing Tutor Helping K–5 Students Build Lifelong Literacy Skills With over 20 years of experience as a certified educator and a specialist in dyslexia intervention, I bring a deep understanding of how children learn to read, write, and how to help them thrive. My teaching approach is rooted in science-based literacy instruction, designed to accelerate reading levels, strengthen writing skills, and build confidence. Every student begins with a pre-assessment so we can clearly see their current abilities and set meaningful goals together. Each lesson follows a proven structure based on the Gradual Release of Responsibility model—I do, we do, you do. I guide students through clear, step-by-step instruction, modeling my thought process and teaching them how to apply the skills independently. What truly sets me apart is my certification in dyslexia intervention, my extensive classroom experience, and my unwavering belief in each child’s potential. I create a structured yet encouraging environment where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. Whether your child is just starting to read, struggling with fluency or comprehension, or looking to improve their writing skills, I’m here to help. I specialize in working with students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, including those with learning differences. Let’s partner to help your child grow into a confident reader and writer—ready for whatever comes next.

My Tutoring Approach: Growing Confident Readers and Writers Through Proven Methods
As a certified educator with over 20 years of experience—and specialized certification in dyslexia intervention—I use science-based literacy instruction to help Kindergarten through 5th-grade students build strong reading and writing skills. My approach is rooted in structured literacy, ensuring that each lesson is grounded in evidence-based strategies proven to increase comprehension, fluency, and written expression.
Teaching Method & Techniques
Each student begins with a pre-assessment to determine their current skill level. This helps identify strengths, gaps, and target goals for progress. I tailor every session to meet individual needs using:
Explicit, systematic instruction in phonics, decoding, and comprehension
Multisensory techniques to engage different learning styles
Writing scaffolds that support organization, grammar, and sentence structure
Typical Lesson Structure
I follow the Gradual Release of Responsibility model:
I Do: I explicitly model the skill or strategy, narrating my thinking.
We Do: We practice the skill together with guided support.
You Do: The student independently applies the skill, demonstrating mastery.
This ensures students not only practice the skill but also understand the thinking process behind it, leading to better skill transfer and long-term growth.
