Hello! My name is Tracy or as my students call me Miss Tracy! I currently teach ESL classes online to children ages 4-10 and love getting to meet so many new faces. Before that I spent my time in preschool classrooms getting to introduce the littlest learners (3-4 years old) the ways of school and getting used to school environments. The best part of teaching young students is I get to introduce them to the wonderful world of science, math, art, reading, and so much more! The smiles on their faces as they start to understand is priceless and keeps me wanting to come back and teach them more! 

I have a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and am certified to teach K-6. I also have obtained a certificate in the religious Montessori program Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for the 3-6-year old child. I have worked in preschool settings for about the last 6 years but have nannied and tutored for children of all ages. I have been working with children in some capacity since the age of 12, or for those counting the last 17 years! Children make me happy and keep me smiling!

Children have wonderful minds and I love seeing them in action! I believe teachers are there to be the guiding lights but that children will lead how far they can be challenged! I love giving the children the building blocks to make connections and discover new things but letting them get there on their own when they are ready! Each child is unique and I love having a classroom full of students eager to learn and gain insight and knowledge not only from me as the teacher but their peers as well! Children are complex creatures who need nurtured and I love creating that through hands on learning experiences for their minds to grow and explore! 

Both of my parents are blind but that hasn't stopped either of them or myself from living life! They instilled a love for travel at a very young age and I yearn to travel again soon! They work hard and have always taught me that nothing can stop you! That is what I want to instill in my students!
