Hello! My name is Dina, and I am excited to have you here! First and foremost, I am a mama to 4 kidlings. Most are grown and 3 have left the nest, but I have 1 left at home. I love teaching kids. I love the "aha" on a child's face when they understand a new concept. I love the personalities that I come across. I have been teaching English online for several years to children ages 3-16. I have also been a preschool teacher for over 20 years. 
If I could have had another career, I might have been a librarian, because I LOVE reading! Reading is one of my favorite hobbies! 
Some of my other hobbies include hiking, gardening, my pets, and cooking! 
I believe in finding the spark of curiosity that lives in every child, and encouraging it to grow. I hope to inspire my students through engagement with reading, learning, cooking, a positive mindset, play and laughter. 
When I am not teaching classes I am a wedding officiant! I get to marry people~ which is so rewarding and special. :) 
I have an ECE degree, a Bachelor of Arts, and a Masters in Business, and a Doctorate in Divinity. I also have my TESOL and TOEFL certifications. 
I hope you will be inspired to have a class with me, and I am hopeful your child will have as much fun with me, as I plan to with them! 
See you in the classroom! 
Sincerely, Dina
