Hello! I am a master educator with over 27 years of dedicated experience in elementary education. I hold a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Education from the University of Texas at Arlington and am a Texas recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST)—one of the highest honors for K–12 educators nationwide. As a native Spanish speaker from Mexico, I bring decades of experience teaching in Dual Language settings.
Experience & Student Success
Throughout my 27-year career, I have served learners across K–5th grade (ages 5–11) in public school classroom settings, small groups, and 1-on-1 tutoring:
22 Years as an Elementary Classroom Teacher: Spearheaded core curriculum delivery in Dual Language programs.
5 Years as an Elementary Math Specialist: Designed targeted math interventions and coached students to master challenging concepts.
STAAR Exam Success: Proven track record helping elementary students excel on the Texas STAAR Math test through effective strategy and skill-building.
Teaching Philosophy & Methodology
I believe students thrive when they understand why math works, rather than relying on rote memorization. My approach centers on:
Hands-On Learning: Using interactive visual tools and real-world models to make abstract concepts clear and engaging.
Mathematical Reasoning: Encouraging students to explain their thinking to build true conceptual understanding and long-term confidence.
Bilingual Instruction: Delivering lessons in English, Spanish, or Dual-Language formats tailored to each child's needs.
