Educational Services
It’s time to invest in teachers. Research shows that it’s quality teaching practices more than anything else that leads to the greatest improvements in students’ learning. Teachers teach content area standards and critical thinking skills while also making education equitable by helping all students achieve. It’s a lot, especially for teachers whose students are also learning how to read and write. In order for teachers to be their best, they need our support.
It is important for teachers to be treated as the professionals that they are. With time for planning with support staff and the opportunity to develop and practice their own professional goals, job satisfaction and student achievement will soar! Just like supporting students in the classroom, supporting teachers is not a one-size-fits-all.
As a reading and science specialist, I have a B.S. Ed degree in Chemistry Education, a M.S. Ed. degree in Reading and Learning Disabilities, and ten years of experience teaching in the classroom.

“I couldn’t be happier with Mindy as a reading tutor for my daughter. She is truly amazing - experienced, patient, and so engaging with my 5-year-old. Her teaching style makes learning fun, and I have seen progress in a short time. She creates a warm, encouraging environment, that keeps my child exited about reading, and waiting for Tuesdays to come. If you are looking for someone who is both skilled and caring, I highly recommend her!”
