CUTV News Radio Spotlights Audrey Fitzgerald

Kalamazoo MI – Audrey Fitzgerald taught in the classroom for 10 years and then was tapped to become a reading teacher working with small groups of students throughout the district who were having difficulty learning to read.  Several years later I began working with the staff and was working with fewer students. I was providing staff development in teaching reading, writing curriculum and implementing interventions and programs.  As a result of this change, I became the founder of The Reading Learning Lab, a first-rate tutorial service for struggling students

“This is a practice I started after I left the classroom in effort to stay connected with students and their ongoing education,” says Audrey.  “It was primarily a tutorial service in Language Arts and student achievement in all subject areas.  My goal was to put into practice what I preached about instruction and student-teacher relationships.”

“I wholeheartedly advocate that teachers make absolute certain to develop a cohesive trust with their students,” says Audrey.  “Our children merit the upmost respect and unless they profoundly sense that solid connection and feel inspired it will not be a positive environment where they can properly learn.”

For Audrey reading is enlightening informative, educational, and immensely enjoyable and can offer relief from any debilitating stress people may be experiencing.

For Audrey success was not only acquired through her tutoring it was a joint effort between teachers, parents, and herself and made a tremendous difference for children to be encouraged and genuinely stimulated to learn. 

“My teaching was so thoroughly rewarding and I feel so fortunate to have had such a wonderful career and my perpetual passion for education will always remain with me,” says Audrey.
