Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi,
I am an elementary school teacher here in sunny Florida. Here on Outschool, I teach academic classes from simple to complex. I love reading, science, and especially math! I was a middle school and high school tutor for mathematics in my city.
When teaching, I try to fill in gaps that your child may have that stops them from learning new concepts. Fixing one gap can help your child excel and soar beyond what they thought imaginable. I teach so that each student understands in their own, most practical way. I believe that the success of teaching is having students live out what they're taught in practical ways. And, when learning has a purpose behind it, students tend to understand more. I also like to throw in humor--sugar helping the medicine go down!Reviews
