Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Parents enroll students at any time as this class constantly revolves and all courses will be covered as it resets. Classes are designed to join at any time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello future students!

I am a high school teacher with experience in Chemistry, Geometry, Algebra and Biology! I am a premedical student that transitioned to teaching. I have always succeeded as a hands on learner and hope to do the same for your student. I value learning is beyond lectures and reading material. We will saturate the topic with interaction as I facilitate your children’s inquiry in complex topics for the youngest levels.

I am also the JV basketball coach and Special Olympics liaison/coach for flag football, basketball and track. In the fall I am the head Pop Warner football coach for 5, 6 and 7 year olds. I am able to inspire my students and players be in the classroom and on the field or court.
