Instrucción directa para mejorar el pensamiento crítico y las habilidades de escritura

I grew up and went to school in the New York City area but now live in a small farming community in rural Midwest, USA. I enjoy working with and meeting people from both urban and rural settings and readily adjust to meet their learning needs in a culturally responsive way. I also volunteer at a prison and remain adaptable to ensure a supportive and safe learning environment. 

I have degrees in the area of Corporate Communication, Education, and Second Language Acquisition. I have been a certified public-school teacher since 2016 trained to teach Early Elementary, Elementary, Special Education, and ESOL. I have been an online teacher and tutor since 2018, working with learners diagnosed with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and middle school students who struggle to read and write. My teaching background is varied as a former 3rd Grade Classroom Teacher at a French immersion school, Associate level Orton-Gillingham trained structured reading teacher and as an Adjunct College Instructor.

I believe instructional data is crucial to improve learning outcomes. I constantly assess student comprehension during sessions in a relaxed and encouraging learning environment.

I love traveling and learning more about different cultures. This helps me to support all learners in my classroom. So far, I have visited Estonia, Russia, Kinshasa (Congo), London, Togo, South Korea, Latvia and a few other places. I also studied abroad in France. With each travel experience my respect for people and their culture simply deepens. I look forward to meeting you too!
