About Dawn

I have 16 years in Elementary and Middle School K-8 experience. I am also a mother of 3 adult children and have tutored each of them K-12. I am a UT licensed teacher and certified in The Science of Reading, DTL, and STEM Education. I believe in a personalized approach to learning. I have a track record of improving students reading ability one additional grade level within one school year or less. I use Step Up to Writing which is a research-based color coding technique for writing. I use a variety of instructional strategies to help students enjoy the learning process in all subjects. I teach students where to find resources and how to use those resources to increase academic confidence. I teach executive functioning skills so students can independently organize their schooling.
