About the store

Experience

I taught 4th grade for 5 years and tutor 1st-6th grades now.

Teaching style

My strongest suit is my comprehension & retell methods in reading. Most of my products in this store are literacy based. I like using inquiry-based learning in Science. I also like forming deeper, thought-provoking questions to instigate conversations among my students.

My own education history

I attended BYU for my undergraduate degree in Education with a minor in ESL/TESOL.

Additional biographical information

I'm currently a blogger and a podcaster, For the Love of Literacy. I am also a children's author & my first picture book came out last September! "Sophie Stands Out"
