🤚 Hello Families! ✋
I’m Teacher Jennifer, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to inspire and guide your learner on their educational journey. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education PreK-6 and a Master's degree in Special Education, alongside 12 years of teaching experience, I’ve passionately dedicated myself to nurturing young minds in both general and special education settings. With two years molding second graders, nine years shaping fifth graders, and now teaching sixth graders, my expertise spans a wide spectrum, ensuring every student's unique needs are met.
Beyond the traditional classroom, I've expanded my horizons with a TEFL certification, enriching the lives of children worldwide through the art of English language instruction. Teaching isn't just a profession for me; it's my calling, my passion.
I provide a diverse range of educational classes encompassing grammar, reading, writing, word study, and comprehensive private tutoring across all subject areas. Additionally, I am deeply committed to instilling a growth mindset and offer specialized courses in this domain. Central to my teaching philosophy is the belief that every classroom should serve as a safe, nurturing environment where all learners feel empowered to express themselves and thrive. By utilizing proven strategies acquired throughout my teaching career, I am dedicated to fostering a flourishing classroom community where students can truly blossom and reach their full potential.
When I'm not shaping young minds, you'll find me chasing after my energetic three- and five-year-old children, embracing the joys of parenthood. In my downtime, I enjoy running, gardening, and tackling DIY projects. With seven half marathons under my belt and a penchant for the exhilarating, like my past skydiving adventure, I'm always seeking new thrills.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to inspire and empower your learner in the classroom.Reviews
