I am the type of person who likes to have fun while I am doing something I love, and that's teaching. I know learning can be frustrating and difficult, but I have learned an array of techniques to present information in ways that a child can understand. I also believe in involving the parents and possibly siblings in the learning process. I am a firm believer that all children can learn, just at different paces. I have taught as a certified elementary teacher for the past 12 years. I am also ... ... More
