Hello! I'm a former elementary school teacher with a Masters degree in Teaching English. I have taught in both public and private schools, but enjoy working one-on-one with elementary school children the most! I cater lessons to each individual students' needs and interests in order to make learning fun and maximize students' success. I am a certified Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist and am certified in the Orton-Gillingham method of teaching reading. As such, I use a structured literacy approach to teaching reading and other language skills. I'm also a published author and illustrator, and love helping students with creative projects! I have formerly held a California single subject English teaching credential and a New York ESL K-12 teaching credential.
Emily is the best OG reading/writing tutor you could ever hope for!!!! We have Emily to thank for our daughter's aptitude for and love of reading!!! Our daughter was behind grade level mid-way through kindergarten and Emily caught her up within about 1-2 months. Emily uses the OG method, which is what our school teaches, so her sessions reinforced and paired with what our daughter was learning in school. We kept Emily on for over a year, not only because our daughter was learning so much - but also because she ENJOYED their sessions!! We ultimately had to stop our sessions because Emily got our daughter a grade level above where she should be - and life got too busy to continue. Our daughter now genuinely loves reading - she reads to herself for at least an hour before going to sleep every night, and finds a peace and escapism when she reads that I didn't have until I was in 7th grade. I cannot recommend Emily enough, and in fact, have recommended her to a couple friends in our class, who also use her, and have similar rave reviews!! Emily is the BEST OG reading and writing tutor in Pasadena - without question!!!!
