Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ana and I look forward to being your teacher as we embark on this adventure of exploration and discovery. I have been a certified elementary teacher for over 10 years and have taught reading, writing, math, social studies, art, and Spanish. I am a lifelong learner; I have always enjoyed acquiring new knowledge and skills in a variety of subjects. Some of my interests are drawing, painting, graphic design, reading, swimming and traveling. I believe education is about awakening the curiosity of my students and about building upon their interests and strengths. I know students learn by doing, they have a better grasp of content when the lessons are interactive. It is about making content come alive for students!Reviews
