Hello!
My name is Arline, and I'm a former public school teacher with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I love working with young people and hearing their perspectives. They can teach adults so much!
My highest values are curiosity, kindness, and freedom of thought. I bring these qualities to my work, and I genuinely love learning and teaching.
I'm excited to meet your learner!Reviews
