Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Grace and I am very excited to meet and teach your child! I have over 24 years of experience working with children. I have a Bachelor's degree in Game Art and Design, focusing on Educational Content. I also have an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I spent 8 years teaching English as a second language in Wiesbaden, Germany, and El Paso, Texas to children ages 0 to 13. I also homeschooled my children while we moved around the world as a military family. I like to use props, movement, games, or anything that helps the child to understand the concept in a fun and positive way!
When I am out of the classroom, I am spending time with my family playing games, building furniture, or working on craft projects. I love art and consider myself a Maker. If it is something I can create with my hands I can and WILL do it! I love art so much that when I lived in Germany I took the opportunity to visit as many museums as possible while studying Art History at the University of Maryland.
See you in the classroom!
