My teaching philosophy is, I want to give students something that can't be taken away from them, an education. This drives my passion for teaching, tutoring, and to see my students grow. I went to Arizona State University and graduated with a bachelors in Special Education and Elementary Education. I have been an teacher for 6 years in 3rd and 8th. I have also provided private tutoring for 5 years. I tutor in reading and math. My favorite subject to tutor is math, because it is very interactive, with manipulatives, anchor charts, and virtual whiteboards.
