I have been a teacher and literacy coach to students all around the world for over 10 years! Some of my adventures include Jordan, Colombia, New Mexico on the Navajo Nation, teaching English online to Chinese students, and Florida. Though these places are all very diverse, bringing unique experiences and insight, I've found the common denominator (sorry, math teacher joke!) among students between all latitudes and longitudes: Students should see the magic in learning and be empowered to create their own magic! 

I currently have my Master degree in International Education through Lehigh University. I am certified by the State of Florida in the United States to teach all subjects K-6, specifically reading endorsed K-12 and TESOL, as well as my most recent  literacy coach endorsement I have taught in a variety of settings: online, one-on-one tutoring, small groups, public school, and private school. I am certfied by the State of Florida in the United States to teach Kindergarten-6th grade at public schools (language arts, reading, writing, math, science, social studies), Reading K-12 and TESOL. I am bilingual, so I understand the experience of language learning. I have an English bachelor's degree with an emphasis on Children's Literature from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida and am interested in teaching children's literature classes as well as creative writing classes. 

I have experience teaching students from diverse locations with different walks of life and have found learning can be magical for all students, but sometimes, the teacher needs to work a little harder to make class magical and special to each student. All of my classes will begin with an opportunity to meet the teacher (me!) and fellow students. It is important to develop a community of learners who are willing to learn from and teach each other, for each of us has our own magic to sharr! For each class, the teacher will work hard to create a comfortable setting where students are engaged with new knowledge and content, willing to practice new skills and confident to share their discoveries and creations. 

It is the magic of learning new words and facts, seeing unknown sites and creatures, exploring new ideas or languages, reading beautiful or captivating or challenging stories, and writing your own story... this is the kind of magic I would like to see in each and every one of my Outschool classrooms and I invite your student to join.
