Personal information
Bio
Hello! I’m an experienced educator with over 20 years of teaching elementary students, specializing in helping students at all levels succeed. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with diverse learners, including English Language Learners (ELL), special education students, and those facing academic challenges. My background includes following individualized learning plans, fostering a supportive environment, and helping students build their confidence.
What I love most about teaching is the opportunity to make a real difference in students' lives. Seeing the moment when a student finally grasps a difficult concept is incredibly rewarding. I believe that with the right guidance, every child can reach their full potential.
I’m passionate about making learning engaging and accessible, and I look forward to helping my students thrive!
