Hello, my name is Gabriela Mella. I am an educator with 9 years of experience working in schools as an elementary teacher. I have experience working with kids of different ages. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and training in Orton Gillingham and Hand Writing Without Tears methodologies. My teaching philosophy is centered on the utilization of multiple methods of teaching (linguistic, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to reach students in different ways. I believe students are entitled to their own learned and that as the teacher, I serve as a guide providing the necessary tools and support in order for students to construct their own learning. I am fluent in Spanish and English.
