Mandy: Hialeah tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm currently a first grade teacher and have been since 2017. I received my Masters in Childhood Education in 2016, and my Bachelors in English in 2014. I have been working with students to achieve their academic goals since 2014.
As a volunteer reading tutor for 2 years, I've helped and guided students towards increasing their overall reading skills and comprehension. I've also been a teaching assistant in a 3rd grade classroom, working with students one-on-one to strengthen their skills across all subjects, as well as their test taking strategies.
As part of my graduate teaching program, I had the opportunity to teach at a camp where we explored topics in Math, Science, Reading, Art and robotics through fun and engaging activities. I love to teach reading, and I tell my students that learning a new skill is like having a secret conversation with the author, where you learn more and more about what you read!
I continue to engage tactics in my classroom. I strive to give students strategies they can apply independently to strengthen
their understanding of big ideas and key concepts. My goal is to work with students to improve on their strengths so that they feel confident in their academic abilities, and also zooming in on what they struggle with, and providing them with effective strategies to help them be successful!
I believe that any student can find great achievement, with the right tools and guidance.

In my leisure time, I like to read, go on nature walks, and ride my bike!
