About the teacher

Hello, My name is Ms. Rosie! I love working with pre-school and elementary grades and all the exploring, learning, and fun we get to have! I have taught English to kindergarten, first and second-grade kids and  that has been most enjoyable  experience for me. I like to use creative ways to teach kids where all different senses get involved in learning and it would be more fun. I am a big believer in interactive learning and like to engage with children. I lived in Seattle for 14 years and then moved to Texas and love the sunshine here. Currently, I live in Dallas, Texas with my husband, Mohsin, and two girls (Dania and Yusra). I enjoy exercising, cooking, reading, watching movies and spending time with my family and friends. I believe that all students are capable of learning and I hope to make a difference in the lives of all my students. I look forward to meeting all of my students and can’t wait to help you become a better learner and expose you to lots of new learning adventures!
