Hello!
My name is Helena P. and I have been a classroom teacher the last nine years. I received my bachelors degree in Child Development with an emphasis on Preparation for Teaching from San Jose University. I received my Masters Degree in Education from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I later earned my Reading Recovery Certification from Saint Mary’s College.
During the past 9 years, I have taught 1st grade, kindergarten and transitional Kindergarten. I have attended many professional development sessions around literacy and have collaborated with talented colleagues and have built a large bank of resources that are known to improve children’s learning. I am well versed in technology to create engaging and innovative lessons for your children.
After teaching in the classroom, I spent my afternoons leading small groups and 1:1 groups of students in intervention. We worked on building skills and confidence. I am particularly experienced in K-5th grade phonics, literacy, spelling, writing, and handwriting.
I can’t wait to meet your child and help them reach their goals. Let’s get started!
