I am a retired teacher and counselor with over 30 years experience working in international schools around the world. Throughout those years, I served as both an elementary school teacher and a social-emotional counselor.
When I first moved to Florida in 2017, I worked as a literacy teacher to adults whose first language was not English. This was an incredibly enriching experience and I learned so much from the wonderful people I had the privilege of teaching.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Elementary education from the United States, a Master's degree in Special Education from Chile and a Diploma in Counseling from Peru. I have also completed specialized training with the Dyslexia Training Institute in California and the British Dyslexia Association in the UK. This training has provided me the foundation to better support children and adults who experience difficulties with reading, writing and spelling.
I am fluent in both English and Spanish and I currently tutor children online and teach English to adults.
I enjoy working with children, teens and adults helping them to build confidence and and become independent learners.
