About the store
I am an experienced educator with over five years of teaching experience in both the United States and international classrooms. I spent 4 years teaching kindergarten in the Los Angeles area, where I focused on early literacy development through phonics, reading, and writing instruction. During this time, I provided targeted small-group reading intervention using differentiation, scaffolding, and social-emotional learning strategies to support diverse learners. I currently teach middle school English abroad in Asia, where I design and implement engaging, student-centered lessons that support ESL, ELL, and bilingual learners. My work emphasizes practical language development through structured vocabulary instruction, movement-based activities (TPR), and clear routines that work across mixed-level classrooms. All of the resources in my store are classroom-tested, designed to be easy to implement, and created to support both general education and multilingual learning environments.

Teaching style

I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to differentiate and scaffold instruction for a wide range of learners—especially in larger, mixed-ability classrooms. Working with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, including English language learners, has shaped my approach to teaching and resource design. My lessons are intentionally created with clear scaffolds, differentiated supports, and accessible entry points, so all students can participate confidently. I design activities that use multiple modalities—visuals, movement, structured language practice, and hands-on learning—to support comprehension and engagement. My goal is to help teachers meet students where they are while still moving everyone forward, making learning approachable, effective, and meaningful for every learner.
