Hello, My name is Linda Tamiya, and I am a Special Education Teacher at Lake Olympia Middle School. I teach 7th Grade Resource ELA / Co-Teach 7th Grade ELA with Ms. De leon, Bianca. I am the Special Education Department Head.  My Teaching Career began in the Economic Capital of Cameroon [Cameroon is located in the Central part of Africa],where I taught English as  a Second Language to French Speaking Students in a Technical High School for 5 years. This is my 8th year at Lake Olympia Middle school, working with students blessed differently, and  it has been an awesome experience working with these students.

I live at Missouri City  with my husband  of 20 years and our four  4 kids. 

As an Educator, my aim is to help/mentor these students to discover the potentials in them despite their disabilities. I believe every student is smart, talented and intelligent  in their own way, and should not be made to think otherwise.  I  do all it takes as their teacher to help them become who they truly are and can be. Students should not be defined by their disabilities. 

I look forward to having a great year with all my 7th Graders.  This is going to be a great year!
