As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun is also an asset. The extensive course work, I received in college has enabled me to teach others to become academically proficient. Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand.

As an educator, I have been given the opportunity to teach in various venues and modalities. Through these opportunities I have taught adults, children and teenagers using many techniques and styles. My education and experiences as a military spouse, an adult college student, Girl Scout Troop Leader, teacher and business owner have given me knowledge in various subject matters (i.e., English Language Learners, Language Composition, Mathematics, History, Science, Music, Business Management, and Team Building) that would benefit many levels of learning. I love teaching students to discover the answers to questions and problems that otherwise eluded them. I am a firm believer in student-centered learning, meaning the students are given the opportunity to research, discover, and progress through various techniques. Providing the appropriate learning environment is essential for a student t

After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years.

I believe that individuals process information in different ways, and

During college, I worked as a home-school Spanish, Language Arts and History teacher for students ages seven through fourteen. I volunteered in classrooms, tutored, and provided childcare for children with special needs. I studied Spanish and abroad. Upon graduation, I began my teaching career in L.A. where I taught kindergarten. After three years, I decided to teach abroad and moved to a small Chinese city where I taught preschool. Back in the U.S., I taught an intervention class for struggling readers in the second and third grades. I also tutored for students after school in their homes. Currently, I am a second grade teacher at La Joya Elementary School in Salinas, CA. I also taught kindergarten at the school for two years. I have always had a passion for teaching students who face challenges in their lives. My focus is on the student and his lifelong education above test scores.
