Private Tutoring with
Christine Martinez
​
Hello! My name is Christine Martinez. I have been a certified educator since 2002 and began my teaching career in second grade. I fell in love with phonics. I later became a certified Master Reading Teacher in 2007. I received my Masters in Reading from the University of Houston- Clear Lake in 2010. In 2022, I received my Educational Diagnostician certification from Lamar University. I currently hold 8 teaching certifications and am currently working as an educational diagnostician at an elementary campus. I work with students from all over the United States when tutoring one-on-one with zoom. Please reach out to schedule a free consultation and see if I can help your child become a confident reader.
What I teach
I teach early literacy and beyond. My area of expertise is teaching beginning readers (K-3).
I do work with older kids that are reading below level and need to build a stronger foundation.
