Paola BELTRÁN-Corzo👩‍🏫

Paola Beltran-Corzo

It is truly my pleasure to welcome you to La Escuelita. My name is Paola Beltrán-Corzo, and I am the founder and owner of this educational center.

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. At the age of 14, my parents decided that the United States would be our home, and we embarked on this adventure. Since then, I have had the fortune of residing in Pleasanton.


I had to work throughout my entire career, and that is where my experience as a tutor and teacher began, along with my journey towards a desire to teach. I have 10 years of experience teaching mathematics, English as a second language, and Spanish in private classes and also in other educational centers.


Today, I am fortunate to open this educational center for you. This is a place where children receive the necessary tools for their academic success without the need to depend on a tutor. It is a safe environment where they will feel supported and, at the same time, challenged.


*I studied high school at Foothill High School and then entered San Francisco State University, where I earned a degree in international business. A year later, I decided to specialize in project management at the University of California, Berkeley. I pursued my education as an AB540 (undocumented student), so I understand the challenges of students with multiple barriers and the sacrifices of their families. In 2022, I graduated from the Master's in Education program at San Francisco State University, and I am excited to know that I am increasingly preparing myself to give my all for the students. My journey in education is ongoing, and with it, my constant commitment to knowledge.
