My name is Melanie, and I have taught in public schools for the last 30 years. I have a teacher certification in Early Childhood - 6th grade, ESL certification K - 12th grade, and Special Education certification for K - 12th grade. I taught in K - 4th-grade classrooms, and as a teacher, I saw the need for small group learning. In smaller groups, students can gain a better understanding of the lessons. I encourage my students to participate and ask questions. My lessons are created to be interactive and help students build confidence in their math skills. As a special education teacher, I worked with many students with learning difficulties, and I can make modifications when needed for students.
