Howdy, I'm Santana! I am a dedicated educator with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Jacksonville State University, and I am also LETRS certified, reflecting my strong foundation in literacy instruction. Over the past five years, I have gained valuable teaching experience—three years in an inclusive preschool setting and two years teaching first grade—working with young learners at critical stages of development. My approach focuses on creating a supportive, engaging learning environment tailored to each child's individual needs and abilities. I’ve worked closely with diverse learners, including those with special needs, and I’m skilled in using hands-on activities, structured routines, and research-based strategies to support early literacy, math, and social-emotional development. As I begin offering tutoring services, I’m excited to bring this experience into a more personalized setting to help students build confidence and reach their full potential.
