Hello! My name is Valencia, and I am a former elementary school teacher with six years of classroom experience working with students in grades K–6. Most of my teaching experience has been in second grade, where I helped students develop foundational reading, phonics, comprehension, and math skills. I earned my bachelor's degree in Sports Medicine from Howard University and am currently pursuing my Master of Physician Assistant Studies at Howard University.
Throughout my teaching career, I have worked with students with a wide range of learning styles, abilities, and academic needs. I believe that every child can learn when instruction is tailored to their individual strengths and challenges. My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to build their confidence and help them develop a positive attitude toward learning. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing.
I specialize in elementary reading, phonics, math, and study skills. Whether your child needs support closing learning gaps, strengthening foundational skills, or preparing for the next grade level, I am committed to helping them make meaningful progress. I look forward to partnering with students and families to help each learner reach their goals.
