Fun Facts

Hello Everyone! I am excited about tutoring you because I get to watch you discover your abilities and over come challenges, together. I love working with students to encourage them to continue to succeed.
My two grandchildren will tell you I share the wonderful Hispanic Culture with them of compassion, bright colors, songs/music in festivities that demonstrate Hispanic humility, hard work and respect.
I love to dance salsa, ride bicycles and other outdoor activities with family/friends.

About Me

I am a former Educator in Spanish/Bilingual classrooms from fifth to twelfth grades teaching students from military families to people from Nicaragua, Peru, Mexico, Columbia, Japan, Russia, Turkey, South Korea and were dedicated students. I love to work with learners because motivation keeps up success. I am from the border town of Brownsville, Texas and visited Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico very frequently, I love mariachis,Spanish Culture, good food, dancing and trying new things.

Experience

My first job at sixteen was at Baker's Shoe Store where I had to calculate Mexican Money value rate to U. S. dollar rate, the subtract how much I owed the customer in change. A challenge, but I did it. I was an administrative assistant for the Vice-chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Texas House of Representatives Member where he was also an NFL Referee that put football on proper yard-lines for Dallas Cowboys. Attended college at age forty-three and graduated with a degree to teach.

Approach

I approach each student, individually, and gently, with encouragement, while I give visual, oral, tactile support with resources to clearly show the objective to be learned. I do my best in analyzing where the student is with objective and take him/her where she needs to be, slowly and a step at a time until he/she get's it, if you will. Interacting positively with the student in content conversation, together, hopefully, will make us that winning team for the student's success. Slow but sure.
