About Maria

My name is Maria. I worked as a substitute teacher assistant ( paraeducator) for K-12th in public schools on and off since 1995. I especially enjoy teaching reading and math! Some feel that they are unteachable. So I first assure my student of my confidence in them , that they can learn. It is those that struggle that I especially enjoy working with. I teach phonics based on Words Their Way. It is systematic and have taught people to read better based on this old school solid method. First I assess student 's baseline. The basic outline of the method: 1)sounds of letters 2) word patterns made by letters ; rules that govern ( I before e except after c, etc.) Math I am comfortable up through 1st year Algebra. Would gladly meetup before being hired.
