"Hi, I'm Rene and I can teach remotely in any time zone.

I have lots of experience working with kids building their skills and getting them excited about reading - and writing! I enjoy getting to know my students and finding ways to connect with their interests and learning styles.

In addition to helping students to build strong reading skills like fluency, decoding and comprehension - I also strive to engage them in the reading process by matching students with 'just right' books based on their skills and interests and taking time to discuss what they're reading.

I aim to make reading fun and interactive, and successful!

I have 15+ years of experience teaching kids in grades K-6, in both public and independent schools. Since March, I have also tutored and ran the Literacy/Reading Instruction part of my school's online learning platform for grades K-4 -- until I relocated this past October. I have also worked as a Literacy Program Specialist at a children's museum. In addition, I've volunteered at a neighborhood literacy center, assessing and helping kids with their reading.

Feel free to contact me with questions or just to get to know me better - I understand how important it is to find the right match for your kids and family. I'm very responsive, open to student and family input, as well as flexible and communicative." less...
