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.

Hola! My name is Ms. Miranda. I am a full-time college student at Saint Mary’s College of California. I am currently studying Politics and Ethnic Studies. I plan on continuing my journey in higher education by obtaining a Master’s in Latin American Studies with a concentration in International Migration. I hope to one day become a Cultural Studies professor to academically, mentally, and emotionally support a new generation of Chicanx/Latinx/migrant students.
A fun fact about me is that I live on a ranch with my family! We have 4 dogs, 4 cats, 8 peacocks, and around 30 chickens. I was not the biggest animal person before moving onto the ranch, but I grew to love them so much and see them as part of our family.
At La Escuelita, I am the Executive Assistant to the Director. In this position, I am able to work behind the scenes in the business aspect of La Escuelita, but I am also able to interact with the students and co-facilitate student lessons. This is more than a job to me; it is an opportunity to see our students grow and know that I can help them learn the way I wish I would have.
Hello, I am Ms. Zeira. I am a Geological Engineer, and for the past few years, I have discovered that I love teaching children! During the pandemic, I had to become my children's teacher, which has provided me with many experiences and tools to now share the same with other students.

Hello, I am Ms. Zeira. I am a Geological Engineer, and for the past few years, I have discovered that I love teaching children! During the pandemic, I had to become my children's teacher, which has provided me with many experiences and tools to now share the same with other students.
My creativity has led me to explore fields I never imagined, one of them being making thematic cakes with beautiful decorations!
I enjoy being part of a team of professionals willing to make La Escuelita a safe and respectful place for children, where not only Spanish, English, or mathematics are taught, but where each child becomes a part of a great family
Hello, I am Ms.Kenia
One of my priorities is to help young children succeed in another language build up their confidence. Efficiency sets them up for success; as a teacher, building that solid bond bringing a safe & comfortable environment is too great importance. Allowing their ideas and questions to be heard and creative, and open-mind

I graduated from Foothill Highschool; I’m studying at Las Positas College my career path is to become a Bilingual Teacher and a Pediatric Nurse.
Becoming a member at La Escuelita is a great privilege; as a daughter of immigrant parents, it has helped me be empathetic to the struggles and needs of others how challenging is to learn a second language, not only that but other school courses.
Being able to help develop & strengthen a child’s academic needs is of great importance in my life, to see them overcome their challenges and their success and be able to applaud them.
I came to California not knowing the language, the different levels of school subjects. Learning the hard way and having blessings in my life, a one-on-one tutor who became one of the most influential people in my life and impacted my life, even when we couldn’t communicate due to language barriers. Know I want to return the favor with other young children, hoping that maybe one day one of them will be able to help others when needed. Learning two languages or more is the most significant benefit. It not only sets you for more success in life, but you can help others who have limitations; it opens new doors every time.

Besides being a Spanish teacher at La Escuelita, I work on different projects, including marketing and multimedia.
Working at La Escuelita has evolved my mindset and how I used to see the learning process, becoming something more than a job for me; it's a fantastic project. It's a huge challenge to be part of this team.
