I am so excited to be part of Outschool! 
(Please note, I live in Arizona and we don't observe Daylight Savings Time. Your class time may change if or when you observe DST.)
I love teaching about so many topics including; animals, social studies/geography, science, life skills, and reading/fluency skills. 
I have taught for 14 years in brick and mortar schools and online for 5 years, including 3 years of ESL/ESOL. I am TESOL certified. I have experience with the Orton-Gillingham (OG) reading program and teaching kids with ADHD and Dyslexia. I struggled as a learner so understand that everyone learns differently. I like to get to know my students and what they enjoy learning. 
I touch on the various ways we learn by hearing, seeing, doing, and talking about the topics. 
I am the proud mom of two older boys, ages 22 and 18. I also love animals and have a CUTE dog named Myles and snake named Harley! (You can meet Harley in my Introduction to Snakes class.)
I live in Arizona and enjoy traveling. I have been to Mexico, Israel, England, and most recently Japan. 
If your child is between the ages of 5 - 12 and they are interested in a topic that hasn't been listed yet on Outschool, please message me and I'll see if I can create it.
