"I bring 26 years of experience as an educator, with a strong background in bilingual and ESL instruction. Throughout my career, I have taught students from Kindergarten through 5th grade in diverse classroom settings, supporting learners with a wide range of academic and language needs. My teaching approach blends structured, research-based methods with a warm, student-centered style that focuses on building confidence, comprehension, and independent skills. Over the years, I have provided both in-school and private tutoring, helping students strengthen foundational reading and math skills, develop language proficiency, and reach their individual academic goals. I consistently use differentiated instruction, guided practice, visuals, modeling, and targeted intervention strategies to meet each learner where they are. Across all roles, I have been committed to creating a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged, capable, and motivated to grow. My goal is always to help each child make meaningful progress while fostering a love for learning." less...
