Tainairi: Munster tutor
Certified Tutor
Hello! My name is Tainairi Rua and I'm excited to jumpstart the learning with you!
I was born in Puerto Rico, U.S.A. and have been teaching for 11 years, and in that time I have taught learners in 4th, 3rd, preschool and 1st grade. I am passionate about teaching Reading and Social Studies. My teaching experience along the last 11 years has been (and still is) in Dallas, Texas, working for the Dallas Independent School District.
I possess a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and Translation (Spanish-English, English-Spanish) and a Master's Degree in Public Administration. Both degrees conferred by the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus.
On 1988 I was selected to participate in an Exchange program with the University of Massachusetts at Boston to complete my junior year. During that time I held a side job tutoring students that were learning Spanish.
In Texas, I became an EC-6 Certified Bilingual Teacher. My bilingual background permits me to bring a unique perspective to my teaching, always focused on making learning engaging and inclusive of diverse backgrounds.
Besides English, my native language is Spanish, which allows me to connect with learners and families on a deeper level. To make online learning enjoyable and effective, my focus is positivity, good energy, praise, and enthusiasm...Learning should bring enjoyment!
Adapting teaching methods to meet the individual needs of each learner is of utmost importance. For me, the "one size fits all" teaching is out of the question.

In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, practicing yoga, reading, going on nature walks, dancing, listening to music, and experimenting with makeup. These interests also influence my teaching style and methodology by incorporating creativity, mindfulness, and a positive attitude into my lessons. I can't wait to get to know my learners and help them reach their full potential in a fun and engaging way!
