I am a retired teacher of 21 years but still teach and tutor in person and online. I graduated from Texas Wesleyan with a Bachelors Degree and a Masters degree from the University of Phoenix in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I am certified to teach/tutor Pre-K - 6th grade. I am working on a TESOL and a writing course at the present time. My favorite subject to teach/tutor is ELA. Reading is so important in a child's life and their later adult life. I love the joy on their face when they accomplish reading even a short sentence:). I truly believe that all students can learn to the best of their ability. My teaching style is synonymous with State Standards but with much caring, understanding , and instilling the belief that they can and will succeed in school.
