Jacquelyn Delp: Reading Tutor & Positive Behavior Specialist
I’m a licensed Level 2 teacher in New Mexico, endorsed in Reading, Science, and Teaching English Language Learners. Over years in public schools, I developed a deep passion for helping struggling readers. My training in research-based, multisensory reading instruction—paired with hands-on classroom application—has empowered students to make remarkable progress.
I also bring a wealth of experience in behavior management. Through targeted coursework, professional development, and collaboration with behavioral specialists, I’ve refined effective, compassionate strategies that support children’s social and emotional growth.
What I Offer:
- 🌟 Reading tutoring for 1st–5th graders, focusing on fluency, decoding, comprehension, and love of reading.
- 📘 COMING SOON: Expert behavior tools and soon-to-launch digital products, including an upcoming ebook and online course to guide parents in nurturing positive habits at home.
Together, we’ll create a transformative experience—equipping your child with the confidence, skills, and joy to thrive academically and emotionally.
Let’s unlock brighter futures—one page, one breakthrough, and one win at a time!🚀
