About the store

I'm an experienced English Language Education (ELE/ESL) teacher who has been teaching multilingual learners in public schools since 2006. I specialize in creating interactive games, worksheets, vocabulary activities, and classroom resources that motivate students and transform language learning into meaningful, fun experiences. My resources, ideal for grades 5-8, are tailored specifically for English learners across WIDA levels 1–5 though many can also be used in the mainstream classroom. Every resource includes supportive visuals and scaffolds designed to enhance understanding and promote student success.

Experience

Teaching style

I use a combination of explicit instruction and game based learning to create lessons where every student will experience success. I'm inspired by research-based methods like Gameful Pedagogy, Retrieval Practice, and Self-Determination Theory, and craft each resource to build confidence, fluency, and academic vocabulary through playful interaction.

Awards & shining teacher moments
