...other words, I don't want to make things harder than they need to be. I use technology as much as possible and like to find resources that I can provide to my students to make their academic careers more enjoyable and manageable. I retired from the US Navy in 2015 after serving for 22 years on active duty. I am enjoying my retirement and each opportunity I get to work with the wide variety of...

...multimodal learning. I hold a Master of Arts degree from the University of Denver with a concentration in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners. I also hold a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Early and Elementary Education. In our sessions, we will reinforce concepts utilizing design thinking strategies, inquiry based learning, and creative problem solving.

I heard someone say that everyone starts out liking math. But they meet that one math teacher or class or even a problem that intimidates them, possibly embarrasses them. And they build a wall and find it hard to continue liking math. I want to show them an easier way to understand the concepts; I want people to like math.

...accounting this December. I've been in the business of education since I was in 6th grade and finally started getting paid for it nearly 3 years ago.

I'm super excited to be getting the chance to work with as many of you as I can and I can't wait to make...

Today's young males, specifically, lack positive role models that speak and demonstrate how a man conducts himself in a vibrant and moral society. Lately, passion and urgency are driving my commitment to become a teacher. I believe God has placed a level of patience and grace within me, that others have affirmed, which can assist me by...

...had over three decades of experience teaching various skills and subjects to students ages 6 to 76. My passion and expertise is in Psychology, but I also enjoy helping students organize their personal and professional essays and papers. I'm "fluent" in APA style, 6th edition writing. I've never met a student who is unteachable, and my two sons, ages 11 and 15 are the people I consider to be MY best teachers. I'm looking forward...

...classroom as a long term substitute while the teachers were on maternity leave. I believe in active, engaging learning where content is presented to show students how it applies to their lives. For example, working with decimals isn't another thing to do in math; you have to know how to work with decimals so that you can work with money. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, cooking/baking and am working towards a certification to teach...

...elementary grades. My personal interests are running half and full marathons and showing our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy in local dog shows. I like to travel whenever possible. When I was in the military, I was a Korean linguist, so learning new languages is an interest of mine. My students tell me that I am extremely patient and understanding, and I enjoy helping people understand concepts and developing a life-long love of learning.
