About Susan

I am a retired teacher with 27 years' experience. The majority of my career I have worked with students in the Primary grades (K-2). I have also been an instructional coach working with other teachers to improve instruction. During that time, I focused on utilizing data to make instructional decisions and improve performance of the students. I retired a couple of years ago, but really miss working with young students. Tutoring made sense.

My teaching based on The Science of Reading and is grounded in cognitive science, utilizing explicit, systematic, and cumulative instruction to build proficient readers.

Because primary students thrive on fast-paced, high-engagement routines, my 30-minute sessions are tightly structured to maximize active responding:

1. Warm-up & Review Rapid-fire flashcard review of known sound-spellings and an auditory sound-discrimination game.
2. Explicit Concept Introduction5 MinsThe New Target Sound/PatternDirectly modeling a new phonics concept using multisensory anchors (e.g., sound-articulatory cues, magnetic letters).
3. Word-Level Practice7 Mins Blending & Segmenting Guided reading and writing of words containing the new pattern, including systematic dictation practice.
4. Connected Text Reading10 MinsDecodable ApplicationApplication of the new skill by reading controlled, decodable books or sentences—ensuring students don't rely on guessing.
5. High-Frequency Trick Words 5 Mins Orthographic MappingExplicitly teaching irregular "heart words" by analyzing which parts follow regular rules and which parts must be learned by heart.

I work with early elementary students at all stages of their reading journey, focusing on three main areas:

Emergent Readers: Kindergarteners and 1st graders who are just starting out. We focus on letter sounds, blending, and building the strong foundations they need to start decoding words.

Struggling Readers: Children who are finding reading unexpectedly difficult. I use highly structured, step-by-step tools to close the gap and turn frustration into breakthrough moments.Fluency & Confidence Boosters:

Early readers who can sound out words slowly but need a bit of extra help. We work on building speed, expression, and the self-belief they need to love reading.
