About Julia

I have been an elementary school teacher for 10 years, with most of my experience in K-1, and it's a job I love. I stepped away from this career in 2020 when I became a parent, in order to care for my son full time. Since then, I've done some part-time private tutoring, and am looking for additional part-time educational work. My training and experience in education is extensive. I have a BA in Elementary Education and a MA in Education, Literacy, both from Boise State University, and I hold a current Idaho teaching certificate. During my graduate study, much of my coursework focused on young learners and foundational reading/literacy skills. As a teacher, I am strongly committed to giving individualized attention to students, and I have become proficient in recognizing different students' academic and developmental needs-and finding ways to support them. My years in the classroom have made me comfortable and effective working with both children and their parents.
