EXPERIENCE
I possess a wide range of tutoring and teaching experience.
I have used my degree working with various community & non-profit organizations. My experience includes teaching in early childhood classrooms, after-school tutoring programs for K-5 grades in the subjects of reading, spelling, and writing. My work has primarily been within the community education settings, working with organizations focusing on education
Since 2003, I have had the privilege of working with students of a wide range of ages and backgrounds, from rural, urban, and international students.
I have worked with little ones (PreK) and early childhood education, elementary, middle school, high school, and college. As well as working with adults who needed assistance with improving their confidence and abilities in speaking English.
In 2017, I transitioned to receiving training and teaching in the ESL field.
In regard to my work with international students, I have supported ESL learners (young learners through adults), migrant families, and international high school exchange students, providing intercultural community education and cultural exchange.
One of the areas I love to assist students in early and upper elementary 2nd-5th grades by providing early literacy and spelling, reading, and vocabulary /writing tutoring. Giving my students a solid foundation of these vital skills to carry with them throughout their educational career/learning journey.
I love teaching from early literacy to elementary reading, writing, spelling, and vocabulary, and more. I love learning about my students and their families and building great relationships and rapport over time.
As well as learning about different cultures.
In my work with my organization, Ambassador Consulting and Education LLC. One of our focuses is bridge-building between cultures, communities, and religions. I provide cross-cultural awareness education for students and families.
I have had the honor of many classes over the years.
In regard to virtual education: Since 2017, teaching over 4,000 classes while on an ESL platform in ASIA and many additional classes teaching independently.
