I have been an educator and sports coach for over nine years. I have taught in elementary, middle, and high schools. I continue to coach girls soccer at the varsity level. I have just finished my master's degree in Educational Administration and will begin my doctorate degree in sports administration.

There are many wonderful views and thoughts on the benefits of education that spark inspiration and motivation. At this moment, the one I would like to share with you is from the late, critically acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick: "I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach anything by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker." As a proponent of formal and lifelong education, self-discovery, and self-expression, I believe in the exchange of ideas and evaluation of information to successfully choose one's path moving forward. Ignorance and misinformation get us nowhere and only hinder our progress and success. Perhaps the main reason I view education as a passport to personal success is that it allows people to find happiness and satisfaction within themselves instead of using external metrics to measure their accomplishments. This allows people to build confidence within themselves and chase their dreams and unleash their passions. With a background in journalism and education, I obtained degrees from Howard University in Washington, DC (Journalism) and Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas (Educational Technology Leadership). Since 2005, I have taught a variety of subjects at the middle school, high school, and college levels including English, Language Arts, Writing, English as a Second Language, and First-Year Experience: Education 1300. In addition, I have worked as an online editor and freelance writer, so I enjoy teaching anything that involves reading and writing. I have also passed TExES teacher certification in the state of Texas. Another aspect of teaching that I enjoy is meeting a variety of people, as diversity is important, and creating relationships by identifying what we have in common. I want to transform people's negative experiences with education by meeting them where they are and helping them chart a personal path to attain their goals and dreams. And when I'm not involved in education, you can find me making music, watching Netflix or Disney+, or plotting my next trip to an unknown destination. If you have ever viewed education as a "punitive" or "hurtful" process, I'd like to change that. Feel free to drop me a message or jump right in and give me a try. Looking forward to meeting and working with you.

I love teaching and enjoy helping people to learn foreign languages. Languages are fascinated to me. I was born in Chile so Spanish is my mother tongue and I have taught Spanish one, tow and three and four in middle school and high school in North Carolina, Maryland and Texas since 2004. Before being recruited in Chile to teach in the US I taught English as a second language in Chile for about 15 years and even though I am not an English native speaker I am also certified in English. I believe that learning a foreign language is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Just do it! You will never regret it because will open a whole new world of opportunities.

I am a graduate of TAMU Commerce. I received my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Special Education. I also obtained a Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Lamar University. I love spending time with my children and grand children. They all live within 20 minutes and are all involved in some type of sport that keeps a grand parent's schedule active. As a Title I teacher, tutoring has always been a must. I focus on the student's preferred learning modality to accomplish comprehension and success. When necessary, I use task analysis to identify where a student is struggling and build from that skill or task. I teach evidenced based strategies to assist in mastering standardized test. Building confidence empowers students to succeed. I feel that, if you believe, you can achieve!

I am a graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I received my Bachelor or Science degree in 2006, with a teaching certificate for English, Language Arts, and Reading, (4-8) and Social Studies (4-8). I received my Master of Education in Administration in 2009, with a principal certification. I also have Dyslexic and 504 training. While in college I tutored algebra and geometry. My favorite class in college was trigonometry. After college, I taught reading and social studies at the junior high level. i enjoyed teaching both, but I believe I am most passionate about reading. I am also really good at helping my students with test-taking strategies. If you understand how to read the question, you have a better chance of passing the test. Each student dictates my teaching style. I know not all students learn the same way. Being dyslexic myself, I like to see what learning style best meets the needs of my students and I adapt my teaching style to meet their needs. Outside of teaching I love spending time with my grandchildren. They are the light of my heart. Spending time with family and friends.

I graduated with a masters in Electrical Engineering from Lamar University, Texas. I have been actively looking for a teaching position where I can excel using my skills and expertise. Teaching has always been one of my passions, which led me to start off as an undergraduate teaching assistant back in 2010 at North South University.

In particular, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for The College Readiness Math Department where I taught a variety of math courses from basic algebra to calculus to freshmen college students.

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.

As a teacher with 10 years of experience, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience here at Varsity Tutors. In addition to my Masters in Education, I have found history, government and economics extremely exciting and linked together in many respects. I also have 3 years experience teaching history and government to high school students. What I have learned through that experience was that to get kids to understand and value historical events, I had to make these events come to life. I implemented unorthodox teaching strategies such as combining film, biographies and historical accounts together to make these events memorable for them. I am passionate about teaching and helping students come to love the act of learning and I would cherish the opportunity to transform the way your students view history, government and economics.

I am available and ready to help. I currently teach all high school sciences, but I also have experience with middle school science, high school algebra, English, and social studies. I have been teaching a total of 21 years. My family is my life, and I have the four most beautiful grandgirls.
