Hello, I'm 37 years old and have two children of my own. My daughter is 15 and is a sophomore and my son is 13 and is in the 8th grade. I have been a substitute teacher for 8 years and have just recently decided to go back to school to obtain my teaching certificate for English/Language Arts in Elementary Education. I currently hold a Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice and a minor in Sociology.

While subbing, I have taught grades k-8th as well as in resource rooms. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I hate to see students struggle and do all I can to reach them on an academic level as well as a personal level. I believe there is no bad student, there are some that need more assistance than others as we all learn differently. I try to make learning fun and enjoyable so students don't really think they are learning, but they are. I also try to find ways for students to connect lessons with every day life as I believe this helps them retain the information better. I'd love the opportunity to work with your child and watch them grow.
