My name is Teacher Aneesa and I am beyond excited to be present in the Outschool community to help spread the love for learning.  I come to you with a Masters of Arts in Teaching specializing in Early Childhood Education from Walden University and an ESL certification (TESOL).  I am a licensed teacher who has been in the teaching arena for 14 years and I can honestly say that I still truly love what I do with every fiber within me.  My teaching experience includes  pre-k (80-85% ESL students every class), kindergarten and 1st grade.  Also, my high schoolers and elementary child have expanded my teaching abilities as well.  Children are our precious gifts and I am passionate about participating in the process of helping to mold them into their best selves.  Exposure to all aspects of education is a must especially when it comes to building that educational foundation.
