Classroom Full of Love

Helping All Children Succeed

Hi! My name is Ms. Celina, and I am an elementary educator with six years of teaching experience. I currently teach 2nd grade and have previously taught Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 5th grade. I hold a K–6 Elementary Education teaching license with advanced standing from Montclair State University and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Merrimack College. In addition to my classroom experience, I have also worked in a daycare setting with children from infancy through preschool, giving me experience supporting children at various stages of development.I am passionate about creating meaningful experiences where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. I believe every child is unique, and I strive to celebrate each child's individuality while helping them build confidence, develop new skills, and reach their full potential. Through my experience working with children of all ages, I have developed a strong understanding of how children learn and the importance of creating positive, engaging environments where they can thrive.I provide babysitting services for infants through 4th grade, with the option to incorporate fun, age-appropriate educational enrichment activities during each visit. I also offer one-on-one tutoring for students who would benefit from additional academic support outside the classroom. Whether your child needs dependable care, homework support, skill reinforcement, or enrichment beyond the school day, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that encourages both learning and play while meeting each child's individual needs.

These sessions are not intended as tutoring or targeted academic instruction.

Families are encouraged to share any areas of focus, concerns, or goals they have for their child before the first session.To provide the best possible learning experience, families should provide a quiet, comfortable, and productive workspace with minimal distractions. A designated learning area helps children stay focused and allows us to make the most of our time together.Please have basic supplies available before the session begins, including a pencil, eraser, and sharpener. Having materials ready allows us to maximize learning time and helps children stay engaged and prepared.If more than one child is home during a tutoring session, we ask that other children remain in a separate area whenever possible to allow the student receiving tutoring the space, focus, and attention needed for a successful session.
