Summary

I am a retired elementary teacher from the AISD (Rodriguez). I have taught

in grades 1st through 5th. I have continued to tutor and have trained as a

Sylvan tutor to further assist students who need more assistance. I am a

patient, caring, and effective tutor whose main goal is to assist students

who need more individualized tutoring.

I possess strong testing skills and have produced commendable status for

students ranging from Gifted and talented to Resource students. I would

bring into your workplace, Master teacher experience, a highly motivated

individual who works collaboratively with team members, and an opportunity

to profit from my experience.

I have a bachelor's degree in Education with a minor in Earth Science and a

Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction/Technology. I strongly believe

in the "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" statement because I believe there is always

some other form of reaching a student who needs more-one-to one attention.
