Teaching Style
I love working with children of all ages. I specialize in multicultural education. I am nurturing,patient,caring,dedicated, and devoted to my chosen profession. I am computer literate, and a muti-tasker as well as a creative, innovative educator. Not only will I help your child gain a better understanding of the subject matter,but I will also help your child with time management and organizational skills which are key to academic success. The FCAT as well as many other diagnostic tests are timed. Even computer tests such as the SRI Scholastic Reading Inventory are time sensitive. My motto is if your child succeeds as a student then I succeed as an educator and I strive to make a difference in each one of my students' lives.
