Hello! I am a credentialed teacher with a background in Art Education, Literacy, ESL, and Math. I have several years of experience as a classroom teacher and tutor in Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, High School, and even Adult Education. I love working with students one-on-one, tailoring lessons to the student's specific needs while fostering a sense of academic independence and confidence in their ability to learn. I have a facility for developing a strong rapport with students based on collaboration, trust, and mutual respect, and often invite students' personal interests to the lesson in order to create an engaging and dynamic learning environment. I am a visual artist and actor, and am happy to share my artistic passions as well as academic inclinations with my students. *I am fluent in Spanish*
