My degree is in Cognitive Studies and Psychology. Since I started working in special education 10 years ago, I've loved it. Children want someone who cares for them and believes in them.

I graduated from Ashford University in 2017 receiving my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. Growing up I had a few teachers in my life who really helped me learn in a unique way that was best for me, and it changed my life. I knew then that I wanted to become a teacher and help others in the same way that I was helped. I have experience with teaching many different grade levels both online and in classroom. I have also taught a broad range of subjects such as English, Phonics, Math, Science and Social Studies. I believe that it is important when teaching to use the "I do, we do, you do" method. With this method there are 3 stages. Stage 1 is the "I do" stage used when introducing material, I will model how it is done fully explaining it along the way. Then we will move to stage 2 the "we do" stage where we work together on the objectives. Finally, we finish with the 3rd stage the "you do" stage. This is where the student can complete the objectives independently and confidently. Let's not forget that there is also plenty of practice to build confidence in each skill, because practice makes perfect. I love working with students and do my best to make learning fun and engaging for each student. I believe that children at any age learn best in a fun and positive environment.

I am a graduate of Ashford University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Science with a minor in Sociology. I continued my education back to back and received my Master of Arts in Education with specialization in Higher Education. Since I graduated from the University I have been working with students at the Elementary School level. I have been tutoring Elementary and Middle school Math. I also tutor Middle and High School level Spanish and Italian. As a native Latina and Spanish being my first language, I enjoy very much helping out ESL students. I am passionate about education and feel that it is the most important asset a person can obtain.

Students learn best when instruction in differentiated learning environments according to the student's needs. I have experience in guiding students towards success throughout all educational endeavors.

Philosophy of TeachingMy philosophy of teaching for learning is that every child has a special gift or talent and it takes a determined and caring teacher to tap into those gifts and talents. A teacher can motivate and inspire to make a difference in a childs abilities and confidence level. A teacher can help a child realize his or her potential and use it in order to enhance the learning experience. Every child develops in a unique way physically, cognitively, socially, and as a teacher I must respect and embrace those differences. I feel that an instructional environment should be inviting without intimidation.Education is not only about words and facts, reading and writing, numbers, and equations, but it is a chance for students to discover, develop and be passionate about a life of learning. Through my teaching I am preparing my students for the rest of their lives. They are enhancing life, personal, and social skills that they will need use for everyday to come. I am there to be a facilitator for learning, pointing my students in the right directions. Personally, I know that lifelong learning is a vital process because I myself am learning each day just like they are.Each day, I am gaining knowledge from colleagues, parents, community and most importantly my students. I think that if I as a teacher can guide my students into a positive light, develop a way of thinking, and give direction with social and life skills then they can be prepared to successfully succeed. I believe my purpose here on this earth is to guide students onto the path of understanding themselves and knowing their place within their environments surrounding them. Overall, I hope to leave a footprint upon each of my students that education is powerful but most of all it contains knowledge. With this great possession we can become anything that we want to be.
