Certified Tutor

I am a certified elementary teacher and secondary English teacher. I have graduate degrees in English and English education.

I have a wide variety of experiences working with children both in classrooms and online. I have taught high school and college composition courses. I have presented science assemblies to large groups of elementary school students. I have experience working with young children with special needs both as a substitute teacher and as a direct care professional. I also teach online ESL classes to children and adults from around the world.

I am curious, creative, cheerful, patient, and encouraging. I am curious about the world and love to read and learn. I am playful and fun but also believe in working hard and persevering through challenges.

I sincerely enjoy helping students find joy in learning. I look forward to laughing and learning with your child.

Hobbies

I love nature and camping. I enjoy traveling around the US and the world on my folding bicycle. I naturally enjoy reading and particularly enjoy reading travelogues and nonfiction. I play the violin, and although I have been tempted to give up on it many times, I persevere and plod on! I try to learn new languages. I would like to brush up on my French and learn Chinese. I have dabbled in painting by watercolor and knitting. There are so many wonderful hobbies to try!
