As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in K-12 curriculum and instruction from the University of Central Missouri, I have over 18 years of classroom experience, focusing on Elementary School English, Math, Reading, Writing, Handwriting, and Orton Gillingham Reading. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and motivated to explore their potential. I utilize engaging, hands-on methods tailored to individual learning styles, ensuring that concepts are accessible and enjoyable. Currently teaching in Missouri, I am dedicated to fostering a love for learning in my students, helping them build confidence and achieve academic success. In my free time, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources to continually enhance my teaching practice.
