My name is María José Bravo, and I am 36 years old. This is my 16th year teaching, but it is my 4th year teaching first grade at ANS. I will have the honor of accompanying the learning processes of your sons and daughters through tutoring. I am sure that it will be a great adventure where learning will be in both ways, because I have so much to teach your children, as well as so much to learn from them at the same time. I'm looking forward to meeting them!
I have a true passion for working with young learners, and my objective is always to help my students achieve their goals by creating an inclusive and nurturing learning environment that is full of interaction and positive energy. I am going to spend a lot of time strengthening our reading, writing, and math skills to turn our little ones into great tigers!
With that in mind, please feel free to contact me at any point if you have questions or concerns about something going on in the classroom or with your child specifically.
