Certified Tutor
"I just get it the way you explain it" is a refrain I cherish in my teaching experience. I have taught all middle school academic subjects even though my degrees are in music. A passionate learner myself, I strive to share that with my students. Whether leading a classroom, instructing my own children, or teaching private music lessons, personalizing and customizing the learning experience is and always has been the ultimate goal. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in music performance which I eventually used to get my teaching certification. I am certified to teach middle school math (including algebra), ELA, and science; math is my passion. When not teaching, I love to travel. On my bucket list are seeing the brown bears in Katmai, Alaska and polar bears in Churchill, Canada as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. I cherish working with learners, facilitating the skills that will help them open doors that will maximize their potential to positively engage in our world.
