About Joellen

I'm an experienced elementary school teacher with training in the Orton-Gillingham approach. My lessons use structured, multisensory reading instruction to help children strengthen their skills in: • Phonemic awareness and phonics • Decoding and word recognition • Spelling and encoding • Reading fluency • Reading confidence I'd describe my personality as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to work one-on-one with students and provide individualized support based on their unique learning needs. I love helping children build confidence in their reading abilities and watching their skills grow. I'm looking to work one-on-one with students in grades 1-3 who need additional reading support. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going for walks, and spending time with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is that I truly care about helping every child feel successful and confident in their learning.
