Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University/ Ohio
I am Teacher Colleen and am a retired teacher with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Deaf Education. I was certified to teach in the states of Ohio and Florida. During my 40 years in education I had the opportunity to teach in public and private schools, homeschool some of my own children as well as teach American Sign Language at the college leveI. Most recently, I taught ESL through an online platform and worked as an intervention tutor at our local elementary school. My experience in the classroom and with my own children has taught me that all children learn differently. I will provide a classroom where all children can learn in a safe, friendly environment. You will find my classrooms to be very hands-on and child oriented. It is rewarding to see a child's face light up as they understand something new or see them glow with pride when they realize that they CAN do something that they didn't think they could do. I will be offering classes in Phonics/Reading for Levels 1-3, Math for Levels 1-3, Cursive writing, Science camps, Writing workshops, Math Facts Practice and ASL. I do offer a limited number of 1-1 tutoring slots, but try to focus on students that really need intervention to bring them up to grade level. I am the mom of 7 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren (with the 9th one arriving in March!). When I am not in the classroom you will find me spending time with my family and my German shepherd, Ellie. Reviews
