I am a Certified Teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I currently teach ESL & Language Arts/Reading online and have been working with children for the last 3.5 years to develop their English and Reading skills. This is where I took multiple trainings and coursework, in which I learned to expand young children’s language and reading development.  I have been teaching different subjects for 9 years, all while linking language and reading to critical subjects like science and social studies. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences-Education from The Pennsylvania State University.
