Hi Friends!
I am Miss. Emily and I teach English and Reading Comprehension, for Pre-School- 3rd Grade, as well as English as a Second Language (ESL). I also teach History for ESL in upper elementary and middle school. 

I have a Bachelors Degree from Concordia University Irvine in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in English Literature and a minor in Child Development. I also have a passion for History and spend a lot of my free time learning as much as I can. I have worked with and taught young children for the past five years and spent a majority of that time in Pre-K and Kindergarten. I also have experience working with middle school and high school students teaching and tutoring in English Literature and History. 

I love watching the wonder and curiosity grow within young minds and helping to facilitate that is one of my passions in life. I grew up in a family of teachers and have soaked up all the advice and wisdom they have given me and I hope to bring it into my own classroom. I strive to make my classroom a safe place to feel heard and to grow in community as we learn about the world together. 

My husband and I just adopted a new baby kitten named Lily and she loves to hangout in my classroom. So, I have a feeling she will be joining us sometimes during our lessons as she loves books and history just like the rest of us!
