Hello, my name is Martha Corbelle. I have been teaching since 2009, primarily for the most part in the South Bay. I have taught 1st grade core curriculum, 2nd Social Studies, 3rd and 5th grade Science and Computer Lab. I have also taught ESL at a private university for over a year to foreign exchange students. I see teaching as my calling. Where it is best described as an open classroom where students are made to feel welcome - "a home away from home". Where they are given every opportunity to grasp on to the knowledge needed to prepare them to become lifelong learners. I strongly believe in providing students with the proper tools and diverse teaching strategies as well as engaging lessons that will allow them to achieve success. It is my goal as their teacher to offer this learning environment to each and every one of them; if my students succeed, then I success!
