Experience
I received a B.S. in Environmental Studies and minored in Zoology at Florida International University. As a certified teacher with expertise and experience in Science, Math, and Art, I feel strongly about helping our youth assemble the tools and build the confidence necessary to achieve their goals. Expectations run high and continue to increase, meaning that students sometimes require assistance to keep pace. As I lend that helping hand, I attempt to take the pressure off and make the learning process enjoyable through the use of hands-on activities and a generally fun approach to the material. I also make it a point to work with students not just on the subject at hand, but also in the development of organizational, time management, and study skills that will serve them in all of their academic pursuits and in many ways outside the school environment. When I'm not working with students, I enjoy crocheting, swimming, and belly dancing. In addition to my formal teaching experience, I have raised two great kids of my own. This combined experience gives me great confidence in my ability to provide the academic and emotional support students need to excel. I love to see the smile that brightens a student's face when he or she is touched by the joy of learning.
