My name is Christina Freeman and I have been working as an educator for over twenty years as a classroom teacher, tutor, and reading specialist in Virginia. I believe in using evidence based reading strategies including Orton-Gillingham to teach reading. I have a Masters in Reading from the Universtiy of Virginia and a degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education from Frostburg State University. I know what it is like to be student that struggles with reading. I recognize the importance of making a connection with my students by learning their interests and learning styles. It is my passion to make sure that the students that I work with learn phonetic code, become more confident with their skills, and enjoy the gifft of reading.
