Jamie Z.
Reading and Mathematical Literacy Educator
Jamie is a versatile educator who believes in meeting students’ individual needs through the establishment of rapport, multisensory learning, and formative instruction. She has more than 16 years of experience teaching diverse groups of students. In addition to her focus on reading and writing, she uses the Structured Mathematical Literacy approach to help students develop a new understanding of mathematics through explicit and systematic instruction.
Jamie is a certified English language and mathematics teacher for grades K-12 and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). She is also a certified Multisensory Mathematics Instructor teaching mathematical literacy through a research-based Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) approach. Inspired by the Orton-Gillingham philosophy, this approach helps guide students from foundational skills and numeracy to place value, operations, fractions, and decimals using manipulatives effectively to reinforce concepts, aid memory, and enhance conceptual understanding. Jamie holds a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and sociology from Florida International University.
Jamie firmly believes that a highly effective educator is one who is always evolving. She keeps up to date with the latest reading research, attends workshops and courses regularly, and continues to build upon her educational experiences. Jamie has also created a fun and engaging workshop entitled The Original Selfie, which advocates for self-reflection and building life-long mindful habits in children and adults. Jamie lives in Florida with her husband and three boys.
