My name is Annelise, and I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Dayton and completed my teaching certification in Ohio. I worked with many struggling readers which led me to take many courses on the Science of Reading. I currently teach second grade in a private school and am excited to move into a homeschool or in-home setting, where I can fully invest in more personalized, student-centered learning. With six years of experience teaching and tutoring across multiple grade levels, I enjoy creating lessons that feel engaging, meaningful, and connected to real life rather than rushed or focused on memorization. I'm especially passionate about helping students develop critical thinking skills and discover how they learn best, at their own pace.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Annelise for our daughter’s second-grade year. She is an exceptional educator—highly detail-oriented, deeply thoughtful, and genuinely invested in understanding the whole child. She meets students exactly where they are academically and emotionally, and with care, patience, and well-designed scaffolding, she helps them confidently reach their goals. By the end of second grade, our daughter had developed a deep and lasting understanding of mental math, addition and subtraction strategies, phonics, and foundational science skills. Just as importantly, she grew in confidence and curiosity as a learner. This teacher has a rare ability to combine high expectations with warmth and encouragement, creating an environment where children feel supported and capable. Any student or family who works with her will benefit enormously from her expertise, dedication, and heart for teaching.
