Experience Summary
As a graduate of Barry University I am a teacher that loves to do hands on activities with the children in order to create for them a real learning environment. Although I graduated last year I have had my Associate Degree in Early Childhood since 1993 and have been teaching in private preschools since then. Also, before going back to school to finish my BA I was a substitute teacher for 7 years for Dade County Public Schools at times being placed for weeks for teachers that were out. I have tutored several children in the past privately. I am currently employed by Dade County Public Schools but do have the desire and time to help any other child that needs tutoring afterschool.
Teaching Style
Teaching has been my passion since I was a child. I love being in the front of a class and seeing how the light bulbs go off when they "get it". I firmly believe that all children can learn but they all have different styles and needs. I believe that their environment has a lot to do with their desire to learn and they all have to be given the right tools so that they can reach their highest potential. As an educator I have made it my life goal to make sure that every child that crosses my path goes away with at least some kind of new knowledge that they will be able to use in the future.
