I love teaching reading and writing skills at the primary level! As a result, I have delved into the research about best practices of instruction, and I began my own afterschool literacy program for children called Whiz Kids International. I have a bachelor’s degree in French, a credential to teach English as a foreign language from Georgetown University, and a master’s degree from the School of Education at Northwestern University. I was a kindergarten and first grade teacher in an international primary school and have more than 15 years of teaching experience. I am passionate about encouraging and supporting children to believe in their abilities and reach their full potential!
