About Erika

I am a certified teacher in Canada who has been teaching for almost 20 years. I currently work with young students in an elementary school classroom. In addition to my school work, I have also provided online one-to-one tutoring sessions and support for many different students over the past couple of years. Most of my background and training has focused on ways to help students improve their reading, writing, and spelling skills.

My name is Erika, and I am the proud mom to 4 beautiful daughters and a crazy, little dog named Sugar. I have been a primary school classroom teacher in Canada for 19 years. I hold a Bachelor of Education degree and am certified by the Ontario College of Teachers in Canada.

I have specialized in Early Years Kindergarten Instruction, with additional qualifications and coursework in special education and behavioral sciences. Recently, I completed training in Structured Literacy.

I teach lessons based on Structured Literacy. This approach has proven highly effective in addressing reading difficulties, as it offers explicit and systematic instruction. My students have shown remarkable progress, both in my regular classroom and during online tutoring sessions.

I love working online. I enjoy creating engaging lessons and slideshows, delivering personalized instruction to learners in the comfort of their own homes. The flexibility of online teaching is perfect for busy families, enabling me to accommodate their schedules while ensuring quality education.

Let’s get reading!! In these lessons, students will work on phonics skills and fluency based on the Orton-Gillingham approach for reading success. Parent feedback and additional student practice are provided.

These lessons are designed to boost your child's confidence and reading skills engagingly and enjoyably. While reading and spelling can be challenging topics, I believe the best approach is to make the learning process fun and interactive for students.

The class outline is as follows:
1.) Introductions and riddle
2.) Quick review of letter sounds
3.) Introduction of new skill
4.) Taking turns reading decodable text
5.) Decoding and writing words and/or simple sentences
5.) Games and activities

Homework:
After each lesson, I provide an email summarizing the skill covered and a worksheet for home practice. The assignment is not graded, but the answers are included to allow you (the parent/guardian) to evaluate the student's progress at home.

Communication:
I aim to collaborate with you in supporting your child's educational growth. You will receive updates after the first lesson and then at least every third lesson. These updates will include our observations and recommendations for your student. Feel free to contact me at any time.
