...about teaching and tutoring math is that I can take an intimidating subject that many students don't enjoy and help them gain confidence and a connection to themselves.

I have a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies and a MS in Early Childhood Education, both from Old Dominion University. I currently teach second grade in Hampton, VA and I absolutely love what I do. Teaching is my passion! I look forward to tutoring your child in elementary level reading and/or math. I believe learning can be a challenge, but it can also be fun.... I believe all children have the ability to learn. It is important for children to ask questions and seek answers to make their own meanings about their learning and the world around them. They should be actively involved in their education. I also believe it is important for teachers to be sensitive to the needs of the child and be able to adjust to meet these needs, because all children learn differently and at different capacities.

Teaching is something I love to do and tutoring is one of the ways I do it. I enjoy helping others reach their goals. My favorite subject is Math, specifically Algebra. Equations are like puzzles to be solved. Outside of tutoring, I love to read and spend time with my friends and family. I enjoy shopping and reading.
