Bio
Hello! My name is Mrs. Westcot, and I love to make learning fun and enjoyable for students! I use games and online supplemental activities that target specific skills. I listen to what the student likes and needs to learn in order to design personalized plans for each student. I live in Minnesota now and before that I lived in Nicaragua for 15 years where I had a farm. I am fluent in Spanish. My hobbies include cooking and gardening and I am always trying to get better at both! My dogs enjoy getting their scritches and belly rubs in my free time. It would be my pleasure to help you meet your learning goals! Let's get started!
Teacher Specialization
I have taught students of all ages from preschool to university. I have a Master's degree in Education and a Reading Specialist Credential from California. I am passionate about literacy, but I also have experience teaching Spanish and elementary math. I was a kindergarten, first grade, and Reading Recovery teacher in the public school system in California. After that, I worked for 15 years at an English-speaking university in Nicaragua. I have recently completed Science of Reading training for professional development.
