About

Meet Mrs. Cherry

Supportive Reading Instruction

With over 25 years of experience in education, I specialize in helping K–5 students become confident, capable readers. I hold a Master’s degree in Education, am a Certified Reading Teacher, and have experience supporting both beginning and struggling readers.

In addition to working directly with students, I have served as an instructional coach, mentoring and supporting teachers in implementing effective literacy instruction and research-based teaching practices.

My instruction is personalized, supportive, and grounded in research-based strategies that build strong foundational skills while growing confidence and a love of reading. My students’ reading scores have ranked among the Top 20 statewide, and I’ve been honored with recognition including Teacher of the Year.

Whether your child needs targeted support or continued enrichment, I’m passionate about helping students make meaningful, lasting progress. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and continuing to explore new ways to support young readers.

"Your patience and encouragement made a huge difference in my reading growth and confidence."

Kayla

Former Student

"Mrs. Cherry created a positive and supportive learning environment where every child was treated fairly and encouraged to succeed. She worked tirelessly to help each student build confidence not only in fluent reading, but also in comprehension and test-taking strategies.

I am truly grateful that my son had the opportunity to be one of Mrs. Cherry’s students."

Amanda S. 

Parent

"Mrs. Cherry is an exceptional reading teacher who meets students where they are and moves them forward with impressive results. I’ve seen students go from recognizing only a few sight words to reading on grade level within a year.

 

Her “magic phonics” approach builds strong skills, confidence, and a genuine love of reading."

Ariel H. 

Teacher

“During her time as an Instructional Coach , Mrs. Cherry demonstrated exceptional leadership and a strong commitment to student achievement. Through her support of teachers and data-driven approach, she helped drive meaningful gains in student learning.

I would trust her without hesitation to guide my own children’s education. It was truly an honor to work alongside her as both a colleague and a friend.”

What materials will my child need?

No special materials are required. I provide all instructional resources needed for each session. Your child will simply need a device with internet access, a camera and microphone for Zoom sessions, a quiet space, and something to write with. I’ll let you know if any additional materials would support your child’s progress.
