I earned my BA from the University of the State of New York majoring in education, music, Latin, and Mathematics. I earned my MA Humanities of fine arts history, Literature from California State University, earned post-graduate studies in Reading and Education from the University of Colorado. After moving to Florida, I continued my education earning an Educational Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction from University of West Florida with focus on Diversity Studies and Educational Technology. My philosophies of education include Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, and Dweck's Growth Mindset along with a focus in Perennialism, that truths and facts never change, and with the student focus philosophy of Progressivism that learning is active and should lead to critical thinking and problem solving as a life-long learner. I am available Monday - Friday am and pm, Saturdays am with some flexibility. With certification in 8 subjects, I am confident that I can help you!
