  • Flor Scouten

    Hi, my name is Flor and I was born in Guatemala, but moved to the United States over 20 years ago. Coming to the United States was not easy, however, I had a little bit of advantage because I had gone to college and graduated with a ESOL degree. It was helpful to know the language but I soon realized I had much to learn. I met my husband at Carin University where I graduated with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. Ever since my oldest son was born over 16 years ago, my priority has been to be home and raise him and his brother.  I have had opportunities to tutor both English and Spanish, and I have done other part times job as time has allowed. My teaching experience mostly comes from teaching high school in Guatemala, but also I have been a home educator for over 6 years. I currently live in Leesbug, FL, with my husband, two teen boys, two cats, a dog, and a few chickens. I am excited about the opportunity to help those who are struggling with their English. I hope I can serve, help and encourage those in need.
