Is your child capable but struggling—or ready for more challenge than they’re getting in the classroom? I help students build both skills and confidence so they can truly thrive.
My Approach
I meet students where they are and build skills alongside confidence. With 28+ years in K–8 education, I use structured, research-based methods paired with a supportive, encouraging approach so students feel comfortable taking risks and make meaningful progress.
Methods & Techniques
Reading: Structured literacy (Orton-Gillingham/Sonday) with explicit phonics, decoding, and fluency
Math: Conceptual teaching (Singapore Math) using visual models and step-by-step support
Frequent checks for understanding, guided practice, and immediate feedback
Typical Lesson
Quick review → targeted instruction → guided practice → independent attempt → positive wrap-up
What Sets Me Apart
Extensive experience across a wide range of learners, including struggling students, those with IEPs, and gifted learners. I bring flexibility, clarity, and a strong parent perspective that supports clear communication and partnership.
Who I Work With
Grades K–8, including:
Struggling or developing readers
Students needing strong math foundations
Gifted learners who need challenge, enrichment, or deeper thinking
Students who benefit from personalized pacing and confidence-building

I have known Megan for over 7 years and have seen her work as a third grade and a sixth grade teacher. She is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her as a teacher. My daughter was in her third grade class and Megan really pushed her to become a better reader. She supported her in so many ways and gave her many tools to succeed. Megan is really good at tuning in to where your child is in terms of their reading level and she pushes them to higher goals. I recommend her all day long with 5 stars!
