About Milena Thomas

As an educator with a passion for lifelong learning, I'm committed to helping students of all ages reach their full potential. Through my diverse experiences teaching music, language arts, and early childhood education, I've discovered the joy of watching students grow and succeed.One of my recent accomplishments is completing the K-5 Orton-Gillingham training in May 2022, which has been a game-changer for my classroom and private tutoring sessions. I am in process of becoming a Certified Dyslexia Specialist, aiming to complete by fall of 2024. Watching my students' reading, focus, and confidence improve has been truly rewarding!With a Master of Science in Finance under my belt, I've also pursued research positions in higher education, exploring evidence-based approaches to teaching. My goal is to create engaging and effective lessons that cater to each student's unique needs.When I'm not busy in the classroom, you can find me immersing myself in the latest research or seeking out new opportunities to expand my knowledge. As a dedicated educator, I believe that there's always more to learn and new ways to inspire my students!
