Lorena: Irving tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Florida Atlantic University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education in grades K-6th. With this I am also ESOL endorsed. I taught grades 1-3 and 6th grade as a Reading Intensive Teacher. After nine wonderful years of teaching, I decided to leave the classroom to educate my own children at home. During my teaching journey, I've learned that all students are unique in their own learning styles. This was difficult to tackle in a classroom setting of 30 students. This is what drove me to home educate and begin my online tutoring journey. I began by teaching students from mainland China the English language. While I love teaching all subjects, including math, I am very passionate about teaching Reading and Language Arts. In my experience, this content area is one that many of my students struggled with. I have many years of experience with prepping students for state testing and what those entail. However, my focus is to help current students find the joy in reading again. I am a firm believer in that reading should be a daily practice and one that should be enjoyed.
