As an experienced and licensed elementary teacher, I am excited to meet your child to help cultivate their conversation and social skills. No matter the grade or subject material I teach, I really value students' interactions and their abilities to express themselves. I want to help your learner become a confident speaker and equip them great listening skills. Knowing how to engage with others and interact through conversation is a skill that will last a lifetime. Through my most current work as a school librarian, I love to captivate students through songs, books, and activities and you'll find my energetic personality holds their attention. As a mom of four young children, I can not express how important it is to be a good listener, ask questions, and advocate for yourself. These are all skills you can expect to find when you join my chat club. I can't wait to work with your learner!
