Charmaine

Profession: Admissions Advisor homeschool teacher
Education, Entrepreneurship
With a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and a passion for teaching, I've spent years honing my skills as an English reading tutor for children

Interests: I'm a firm believer in the power of education and the impact it can have on our lives. My teaching journey began at home, where I taught my daughter from 1st to 8th grade. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of the learning process and the patience required to guide young minds.

As a Floridian, I bring the warmth and vibrancy of the Sunshine State into my teaching style. I have a great sense of humor and I strive to make learning fun, incorporating interactive activities and games into my lessons. I believe that a positive and engaging learning environment can spark curiosity and foster a love of learning in students.

In addition to my teaching roles, I'm also an informed trauma coach for adults. This role has allowed me to develop strong empathetic listening skills and the ability to adapt to individual needs, which are crucial in any teaching environment.

In my spare time, I enjoy the beautiful Florida sunshine, whether I'm relaxing on our stunning beaches or exploring our diverse natural parks. I'm excited to bring my passion for teaching and my sunny disposition to help your child on their learning journey.
