Additional Information

I run a private tutoring business to assist the children in the community that require extra help with their schooling. I never stopped teaching, even during the lockdown due to COVID-19. I built a mini library in front of my home and students could ride their bikes to my house and grab books. We would then read those books over the phone, because most of my students do not have internet due to having low income. I answer emails and texts messages at all hours because the students need me. I am the teacher that never stops learning and never gives up on her students. All children deserve the very best education.
