My name is Teacher Tia and I'm very excited to meet you all. I've also worked as a consultant and graduated from UC Berkeley. I also created a summer reading program in my local community to promote child literacy and a love of reading. I believe books have the potential to spark imaginations, cultivate empathy, and enrich lives. My teaching style is friendly and full of positive encouragement; all opinions are welcome and everyone is free to speak their mind. My favorite part of SOAR KIDZ is the connection I make with each of my students, as well as the bonds the students form with each other. It's been a terrific experience so far, and I can't wait to see what each new season will bring!
