AA in Liberal Arts from De Anza College 12 Early Childhood Education Units (ECE) I am currently planning to be an elementary school teacher and receive my Multiple Subject Credential. I have passed both the CBEST and CSET MS. Professional: I tutored professionally for at least 8 months and counting. I am eager to continue tutoring students of all ages and various needs.
