I am an alumni to Florida Atlantic University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, including an ESOL endorsement. I am continuing my education with an emphasis on Special Education. I have been privately tutoring students for the past seven years in a variety of elementary level subjects. I am currently a second grade teacher beginning my fourth year teaching. I teach in an inclusion classroom where special needs students are a part of my general education classroom. My tutoring focus is on any elementary level subject, including students with special needs. Although I tutor all elementary subjects, I enjoy teaching math the most because I can use the most hands on techniques with manipulatives. I enjoy providing my students with fun ways to learn by using different strategies and hands on, real life approaches. When I am not providing an education to students, I enjoy spending my time with my two children. I strive to include learning into our everyday activities to give my son a solid academic knowledge prior to school, without forcing him to sit down and have "learning time." We are an active family that loves sports. A part of our everyday life is spending time at the gym where we have a solid group of friends with kids, so our children enjoy their time together as well.
