I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a BA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies with minors in English and History. This program also included studies in Philosophy and Theology. This was a heavy research-oriented program of study.

I have done graduate work in Mental Health Counseling at Capella University.

I did briefly substitute teach in the early 2000s and I was a Special Education High School Resource Math and Social Studies teacher.

Currently, I am an Ordained Minister in Shamanism and a Licensed Massage Therapist. I am also a Massage Therapy Instructor. Generally, the courses I teach revolve around energy healing such as; Reiki, Aura Healing, Crystal Healing, Meditation, and Journaling.

I did teach children ages 3-13 in an online program out of Beijing teaching English to Chinese children. I was a teacher in that program for nearly 4 years. I do have my TESOL and TY7 Certificates for that purpose.

My first experience as a classroom teacher was at the age of 19. I went to the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies to become a Montessori Teacher. I taught a 3 to 6-year-old class in Albuquerque, NM for about 18 months before I moved out of state.

I enjoy teaching others. There is so much to learn. Montessori taught me that teaching is not just the teacher pouring information into the student, rather it is about a triangle perspective that includes the teacher, the student, and the environment; each learning and affecting the other.

Hobbies

I have many hobbies. Gaming is fun. Right now I only have time for Minecraft. In the past I have had accounts for WoW, Rift, FFXIV Online, Eve, and many more. Another hobby is Diamond Art Painting. I used to be very active in the Society for Creative Anachronism. We re-create the Middle Ages. It really is great fun, but very time-consuming.
