¿Tienes un juego? Juegos de vocabulario con la Sra. Sydney (de 7 a 12 años)

Greetings! Welcome to my page.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from California State University of Long Beach. I obtained my Masters in Elementary Education and Multi-Subject Credential at Grand Canyon University. Since high school, I have been teaching, tutoring, and creating with learners between the ages of 6-18. I have taught in an academic cohort, and have also developed a summer academic enrichment camp. I have been an instructor on Reconstruction and Liberated Minds Homeschool Hueniversity and am currently with AYA Educational Institute and Kamali Academy. 

Teaching, learning, and creating are my passion. I teach classes on reading, reading comprehension, writing, mixed media and graphic art, ceramics, ourstory (history), and topics related to Black/Afrikan, Olmec, and Mayan cultures. I educate from an Afrikan-Centered base and give students the space to know who they are culturally. I have helped many struggling readers improve their confidence, fluency, and comprehension over the last 5 years. In my experience, blending art, games, and creativity with tough academic subjects inspires a love of learning. 

In every setting I find myself in, I strive to make it a child-centered experience that encourages positive self-concepts, creativity, and critical thinking. Games are my jam-so for any of those with that competitive spirit, my classes might be for you. I also encourage discussion and interaction, as I believe learning happens best when we engage with others.

Some of my personal interests are: listening to Afrikan music, creating art, spending time with family, playing soccer, gardening, and reading! Right now, some side projects I have going on are taking care of my plants, and making my own website. Hope to see you all in my next class, thanks for stopping by!
