ElementaryTeacher
About
I am currently teaching 4th grade at Imagine Avondale Elementary school. I teach all the general education subjects. I also have experience teaching adults English in Southeast Asia for 2 years, and have done GED tutoring for adults when I was attending college. I am very versatile with my teaching, but I have a particular skill set for students struggling with Reading, Grammar, Pronunciation, Public Speaking, and General English course subjects. Most of my experience is with younger students in the United States aging from 8-10 years old. However, I also have TESOL certificate to teach adults General English. I am also recently married to a wonderful Indonesian man.
I enjoy helping students improve and grow in their skills. I also enjoy seeing students learn basic study skills to help them succeed in every day "school" life.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with any new student it is important to first find out what they already know. I will likely ask them a few questions and may even give a few preassessment quizzes to determine their current skill level. I also like to spend time getting to know my students on a personal level and may ask them general getting-to-know you questions to help students feel comfortable with me and the new environment they may be learning in.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a current Arizona Teaching certificate and I have a TESOL certificate. I studied at Greenville College in Illinois.
