About Violet
I’m Violet, a credentialed California elementary teacher with 15 years of classroom experience. I have taught preschool, TK, kindergarten, 4th grade, and 5th grade, so I understand how reading skills develop from the very first letter sounds to reading chapter books with understanding.
Much of my career has been in Title I schools, where I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds, including many English learners. I have helped many students who started the year behind in reading make steady, measurable progress.
Reading intervention is my focus. In the classroom, I have seen how quickly struggling readers improve when they get the right instruction and consistent one-on-one support. I started tutoring to give families that support outside the school day.
When you work with me, you can expect:
-A credentialed teacher with years of experience teaching reading
-A fingerprinted, background-checked educator, as required for California teaching credentials
- A formal reading screening and written Learning Profile, so you know exactly where your child is starting
- Lessons planned around your child’s specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all program
- Regular progress updates and clear communication with parents
- Sessions that start on time and are fully prepared
My goal is to help your child become a confident, independent reader. I look forward to working with your family.

My teaching method:
I use structured, explicit, research-based reading instruction. I teach reading skills step by step in a clear order and make sure each skill is solid before moving on. Lessons are hands-on, using letter tiles, sound games, and decodable books so students practice new skills right away.
Every student starts with a reading skills screening. I check phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension. You then receive a written Learning Profile that shows your child’s strengths, the skills to work on, and my lesson plan.
A typical lesson:
1. Warm-up review of sounds and skills from the last lesson
2. Phonemic awareness practice (hearing and working with sounds in words)
3. A new phonics skill taught directly, then practiced through word building and reading
4. Reading a book at the right level to build fluency
5. Vocabulary and comprehension questions about the text
6. A quick check of the day’s skill and a short home practice activity
What sets me apart:
-Credentialed California teacher with 15 years of classroom experience
-I have taught preschool, TK, kindergarten, 4th, and 5th grade, so I know what reading skills students need at each stage and where they tend to get stuck
-Years of experience in Title I schools and with English learners
-Clear communication with parents, including a written Learning Profile at the start and regular progress updates
-Patient, encouraging lessons that build confidence along with skills
