I'm Marisa, an elementary teacher with over 13 years of experience in the world of education. With a Bachelor degree and a passion for teaching, I have centered my career around fostering reading skills in young learners from kindergarten to 3rd grade. Currently, I teach a combined grade 1/2 class, while also teaching music, equipping me with a versatile skillset and a unique perspective on educating children in different developmental stages. I apply the Science of Reading and UFLI phonics in teaching reading. Using these techniques, I tailor each tutoring session to effectively address each student's unique learning needs. Whether it's improving fluency, comprehension, or decoding abilities, my approach is hands-on, engaging, and targeted to ensure academic success. For me, teaching is more than just a job. It's about instilling a love for learning and particularly reading, in every child. By providing personalized, fun, and understandable reading interventions, I foster confidence and a love for reading in children. Join me as we embark on this fulfilling journey towards educational success! I'm available weekday evenings; ready to provide services at my home in St. Albert.
