About Explorer
Experienced 4th-5th grade teacher retired June 2025 from Concord Public Schools in Concord, Massachusetts. I was also a full year remote academy teacher in Concord during COVID. I currently tutor four students in grades 4-6. One of my parents wrote "I highly recommend Ms. Nancy. My daughter has experienced great success under her guidance. With over 30 years of solid experience, Ms. Nancy brings both expertise and compassion to her work. She is incredibly kind, patient, and truly dedicated to helping her students thrive."

With over 36 years of teaching experience in grades 3–6, I specialize in helping students strengthen their skills in reading, writing, and research while keeping learning creative and enjoyable.
Teaching Method & Techniques:
My lessons are tailored to each child’s interests and strengths. I combine direct instruction with engaging, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and build confidence. Students don’t just practice skills—they discover how reading and writing connect to their world.
A Typical Lesson Plan:
Warm-up with background knowledge (pictures, short facts, or discussion)
Guided instruction on a specific skill (reading comprehension, note-taking, or writing)
Creative application—such as a short story, research activity, or essay draft
Wrap-up and reflection, setting a goal for next time
Special Writing Projects:
One of my most effective and popular lessons is a student-created Animal Magazine, where each student writes both fiction and nonfiction pieces, including articles, stories, interviews, and nature notes. This project not only develops strong writing skills but also builds organization, research, and creative thinking.
What Sets Me Apart:
36+ years as a classroom teacher—deep experience with diverse learners
Reading and writing expertise, including essay writing and research skills
Ability to turn lessons into memorable projects students love
Individualized, supportive approach that makes every student feel successful
Who Lessons Are For:
Students in grades 3–6 who want to:
Strengthen reading comprehension and writing skills
Learn effective research and note-taking strategies
Gain confidence in essay writing and creative expression
Enjoy learning through personalized, project-based lessons
Whether your child needs extra support, enrichment, or simply a new way to love reading and writing, I bring creativity, structure, and decades of proven teaching experience.
