I Have been an educator for 20 years, both in the classroom and outside, now as an executive functions coach and content specialist in English, History, and Spanish. I have taught all three subject areas to k-12 and bilingual courses too. I now provide academic coaching and content support services to students in grades 3-12, and I create customized materials that are uniquely specific to English, History, and Spanish.
Personal relationship and connection is everything with students of all ages! And- know thy learner. I customize my techniques and materials for the learner and the course. Students are learning lifelong academic skills along with content.
