I have spent over 9 years in the classroom, teaching mostly in the intermediate grades. Subjects include Math, Language Arts (Biology, Reading, Vocabulary, and Grammar), Study Skills, and Social Studies. I am comfortable with all subject areas.
I am very hands-on in my teaching style and have found that students enjoy both subjects so much more if they understand the WHY and real-world applications of their knowledge and skills. My goal is to provide a fun, motivating environment where students can learn in an environment that makes them feel successful and proud of their work.
When I was first recognized with a Teacher of the Month Award, I was so excited. It was a great honor!
My educational history includes a Master's degree in English Linguistics and Literature, and just completed my second Master's in Education and eLearning. I have also studied French and Italian.
I'm from a family of educators and I think teaching is in my genes :-) I love helping people to learn, and I love learning myself.
