About Me

Experience Summary

I have been teaching K4-8 since 1994 as a substitute and certified teacher. I hold a BA in Computer Science, and Mathematics, and a Master in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. As an international student who came to the USA with no English, I found ways to help me learn and understand American Read and Writing Standards and graduated with honors. These tips can help anybody regardless of their background become a master reader and writer in two sessions.

Teaching Style

As a teacher, I encourage students to learn the traditional methods of learning, then use them as a guideline and modifier them to find their own learning style. One-size-fits-all only work when it comes to tube socks!

My Hobbies

Enjoy coaching basketball (individual skills) and working with youths in various capacities. I also enjoy writing, and I am currently shopping three books that I have written.

Other Comments

Successful people are not any different from you and me. What makes them special is they have found ways to do what they need done the best way as individuals.
