About Donna

I'm a dedicated first grade teacher with five years of experience at a classical school, and I've spent my summers tutoring elementary students one-on-one. I specialize in helping early readers build strong foundations in phonics, fluency, and comprehension. There's nothing better than watching a child gain confidence as they begin to read independently! In math, I focus on developing number sense, foundational skills, and problem-solving strategies that make learning both clear and enjoyable. My approach is patient, encouraging, and structured--tailored to each child's individual learning style. I'm passionate about building confidence in young learners and creating a positive, supportive environment where students feel successful. Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I would love to support their growth.
