Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there!
Thanks for reading my profile; I'm happy to answer any questions.
I have been teaching elementary, middle school, and high school in Florida since 1995.
My teaching style is mostly easy going and casual as long as everyone is able to learn.
I encourage classroom interaction and discussion between students and with me. My students might be from three different countries all in the same virtual classroom! However I will keep everyone muted during instruction or when there is just too much background noise.
My education includes a Bachelor's degree in Education from Toledo, Ohio, and a Master's in Psychology from The University of Phoenix, OLS.
My Educator's License is from the State of Florida Department of Education. I am certified in ***Exceptional Student Education (Grades K-12)
Elementary Education (Grades 1-6)
and Mathematics (Grades 5-9)
If you're interested in a little bit more about me, be sure to watch my profile video.
I am so excited to have you in my class! See you soon...
