Certified Tutor
As a dedicated educator with over 30 years of experience, I hold a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and a Specialist Degree in Reading from Nova Southeastern University. In addition, I have a Specialist Degree in ESL from North Central University. My passion lies in fostering a love for Reading-Language Arts, Children's Literature, and Social Studies among my students. I have taught diverse age groups, from preschool to middle school, and have developed a keen ability to engage students through hands-on learning experiences. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique learning style, allowing me to tailor my lesson plans to meet their needs effectively. I believe that all students can learn when provided with the right support and encouragement. Witnessing their growth and understanding brings me immense joy, and I continually seek innovative ways to inspire and motivate them in their academic journey.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family. and friends. Going to the beach, movies, and out to dinner. Cooking is another one of my hobbies. Word Games can keep me engaged for hours. Also, I love to read, including children's books. Some of my favorites are: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Miss Nelson Is Missing, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, The Giving Tree, Charlotte's Web, and Each Kindness. I also like exercising, taking walks, and going to the gym. Listening to music relaxes me, as well as learning something new, especially about a different country or culture.
