I graduated from University of North Texas with a school librarian certification from Prek-12. I tutored before teaching in a Kindergarten classroom. I have tutored students for the STAAR which is the state test for Texas and I have tutored first and second grade students who were a year behind in reading at the beginning of the year and were on grade level at the end of the year.

I like to proctor exams for older students as I have proctored the STAAR test for elementary and junior high.
