Oksana Zamora

Experienced Educator & Mentor | M.S. in Elementary Education

About

I am an experienced educator, assistant professor, and student mentor holding a Master of Science in Elementary Education alongside advanced degrees in Economics and Management. With over 15 years of dedicated experience across university and early childhood settings, I taught specialized economic disciplines in Ukraine before relocating to the United States. In the U.S., I successfully transitioned to early education, guiding refugee children and working as an assistant teacher. My goal is to leverage my full academic credentials and international background as a Teacher Assistant or Long-Term Substitute Teacher in early elementary grades.

Teaching approach

My teaching approach is simple: I put students first. With over 15 years of experience, I know that people learn best when they feel safe, supported, and interested. Whether teaching university students or young children, I always focus on making lessons clear, and positive for everyone.
