Experience
These twelve classes will meet for 60 minutes. Because many parents are hesitant about whether send their 3-years-old children to school due to the danger of the pandemic situation, these classes have been designed to provide exposition/reinforcement on some basic skills during/before entering pre-K. Although the subjects of social studies and social science start to be formally taught in second grade, this class is a potpourri of language arts, math, included social studies, and social studies skills. Small doses of these skills will open doors of fun learning of the world that surrounds them. This is a learner-directed individual or small whole group class of two students.
⏰Schedule:
All the twelve classes start immediately with language arts, including reading, followed by social studies, and ending with integration of math/science.
😊Class Structure:
This class is structured to have 100% participation from 100% of students 100% of the time! Students will be continuously participating by responding to academic questions. Class size will be a maximum of 2 students. For this reason and because of the number of students; students are encouraged to actively participate. It is highly recommended for students to be able to focus by looking constantly at the screen and responding at the teacher's prompting.
✍Classroom Material:
None
My goal is to ensure that each student feels welcomed and comfortable in their new class. The class is stress-free. We will have lots of fun!
Join me as we explore, discover, learn and play together!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Special Education
I am a retired special education teacher who taught all the basic classes from K-12. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a master of arts in 2002. I hold a few add-on certificates, such as Braille I and 2, RESOL (ESOL and Reading), English, SS, and math K-6. I believe in high critical thinking for students who allow themselves to be trained in problem-solving in all areas. Real life is about making decisions that will lead us to success. What is success? This is defined individually. We do not want to reach mature age to realize that our decisions took us on the wrong path. The Socrates debating method was born from an inquisitive nature to question what was established in the fields of philosophy, politics, and religion. This is a way of developing the ability to think, it includes the wisdom to see what is coming before it comes. This is an impossible task for many because of the lack of knowledge. Maybe. Lack of understanding. Maybe. Definitely, lack of application. My modesty impels me to clarify that I am a human with weaknesses and fortes. Do not expect perfection. Great relationships are built on honesty and respect as a foundation. Finally, I continue teaching because once retired I discovered that once a teacher, always a teacher I will be.Reviews
