Dress To Impress

Hi! My name is Teacher Marlene and I have been working with students for the past eleven years. I love teaching and helping students learn new concepts! 

I earned a Bachelors of Science in Marine Biology with a minor in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish. I’m excited to teach your child all about science! I am also passionate about teaching young learners how to read; it is so rewarding!

I have volunteered with the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School System in a pre-school classroom since 2010; working with students ages four to five. I have been a Seasonal Pre-Kindergarten Screener working with children ages three to four years old. I assessed children’s gross and fine motor skills, critical thinking skills, language development, and learning behaviors to evaluate who would benefit the most from a Pre-K experience. I have also been an online ESL teacher since July 2017 working with students from China. I have taught students from ages 3 – 16. For early learners I have taught them phonics, the letters, colors, and numbers. For the older students I have strengthen their reading comprehension skills and their critical thinking skills. I taught Earth Science classes such as “Taking care of the Planet” with the lesson’s main topics on “Pollution” and “Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle.” I have been working with children from ages 3- 16 for the past 12 years. I have taught fundamental Pre-K and Kindergarten skills, reading comprehension, water conservation classes and marine mammal conservation classes.

I believe learning should be fun and rewarding and I hope I can provide that for your children! I can't wait to see your kids in the classroom!
