Hi! I'm Winta Gebregergis. I founded Race to LRN in 2023 to help students achieve a strong reading and writing foundation.
A little about me: I am a certified Georgia Professional Educator, and I have a Certificate of Mastery in LETRS Science of Reading.
I graduated from GA State University in 2012 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I taught at Georgia's first STEAM-certified school, contributing to its success, and I was a K-5th, an Early Intervention Program (EIP), and an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher.
My team and I currently tutor kids in-person because it is a race to "lrn" during their early years.
"Much scientific evidence has shown that students who have not learned foundational reading skills by the end of 1st grade are highly likely to experience chronic reading difficulties."
-LETRS, Science of Reading
Race to Lrn's mission is to provide focused and individualized in-person tutoring services in a child's foundational years using strategies aligned with the science of reading.
1. First, an evaluation of your child's knowledge of basic reading using research supported assessments is conducted.
2. Next, the data is analyzed to pinpoint your child's strengths and areas for improvement to create a tutoring plan.
3. Then, your child is tutored either one-on-one or with a small group. You get an update on what was taught and the areas you can work on with your child at home after every session.
Ages 3 and up are tutored in-person for 45 minutes to 1 hour. A few videos have been added on the YouTube channel of 4 and 5-year-olds that have been tutored for several months.
I’ve been a certified Georgia Professional Educator since 2012, and I have a Certificate of Mastery in LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) which is an IDA Accredited Program. I have taught kindergarten, 2nd grade for four years, and 5th grade and also co-taught all grades K-5th.
I tutored students in-person and virtually after school while I was a classroom teacher. Their success and the joy I had working as a tutor inspired me to tutor more kids full-time in 2024. I also saw the need for students to have a good literacy foundation early while I was a kindergarten and 1st grade teacher. I choose a team of kind and competent individuals to work alongside me to help many kids succeed.
