Rohn Marie Crichlow
Educator, Coach, Trainer, Mentor,
& Literacy Supporter and Advocate
We have been working with children for over 20 years and have recognized that a primary factor in students' academic success is their reading ability and habits. Our goal is to instill a genuine love for reading. We believe in fostering a positive mindset and building confidence by acknowledging each student's strengths and efforts.
We are committed to creating a partnership with students, parents, and, when welcomed, school teachers. Together, we strive to set achievable goals as a team. Parents can expect collaboration that is transparent and consistent. Contact me today for an initial consultation.
My Philosophy
I believe my role as a literacy advocate and educator is to nurture and encourage the lifelong learning of my students. Through one-on-one tutoring, classroom discussion, and even the use of humor, I hope to prompt students to think creatively and explore their natural curiosity. I want my students to feel that no question is too silly to ask. I am strongly committed to regularly assessing students' comfort and engagement in addition to their mastery of the material. I believe that regular testing of concepts is important, but students also need to feel like confident, resilient learners.
I praise students not just for mastery of the material but also for critical thinking, effort, curiosity, and creativity. I lead by example, always working to improve my own skills in these areas as an educator. Creating a welcoming space for learning is so important, especially for the youngest learners. As a reading coach, I am acutely aware that I am defining the experience of learning to read for my students. I work hard to make that experience a positive, nurturing one. Education is not a one-size-fits-all discipline, and I believe it's essential that my approach is tailored to the specific learning needs of each student. I get to know the students as individuals so I can appropriately support and challenge them academically.
