I enjoy and am proficient in teaching both basic skills as well as critical thinking. I assess student needs and research teaching materials online as well as support textual learning and assignments given by classroom teachers. I make subject matter meaningful and fun. I can provide references if you'd like.
Speak with me about you / your child and what your situation and needs are. The consultation and 30 minute initial meeting with the student is complementary. You can decide if we are a good match for what you're looking for.
Cheers!
Sally

Hi There!
My name is Terri and I have a huge passion for teaching reading to young children, second language learners, or anyone just needing reading support. I have been teaching reading for over 25 years and I have taught hundreds of children on their road to literacy including my own two children who are now grown ups. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing the sounds of words being sounded out and sentences being read. I look forward to working with you!
