As an educator with a Master's in Early Childhood Specialization from Stephen F. Austin State University and over 15 years of classroom experience, I am passionate about nurturing a love for learning in my students. I specialize in elementary school math, ESL/ELL, and phonics, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. My teaching philosophy emphasizes patience and empathy, allowing me to tailor lessons to each child's unique interests and strengths. I believe that learning should be both fun and relevant, and I am dedicated to celebrating each student's achievements, fostering their confidence and curiosity.
