@rebekahgross
Experienced educator passionate about literacy and student development.
What I'm looking for
With over 25 years of dedicated teaching and tutoring experience, I have honed my skills as an educator, focusing on K–12 students with a strong emphasis on reading and literacy development. My approach is nurturing and personalized, fostering a love of learning while building confidence in my students. I excel in providing tailored support, both in-person and remotely, and I am known for establishing strong rapport with students and their families.
Throughout my career at Pacific Bay Christian School, I have taught a variety of subjects, including Honors British and American Literature, Theatre, and music for younger students. I have designed and implemented reading enrichment activities aimed at supporting reluctant and struggling readers, and I have collaborated closely with families and staff to monitor progress and set individualized learning goals. My experience as a librarian has further enriched my ability to promote reading engagement and support independent research projects.
