I have a MEd in Secondary English Education, a Masters in Literature, and 15+ years of tutoring or teaching experience. I believe we all need to find our WHY.

...that you have helped them achieve is truly priceless. While overall comprehension is certainly important, I strive to teach others how to overcome problems using their existing knowledge. Through this, they can build the confidence to overcome future obstacles by themselves. Along this basis I specially tailor each tutoring session to individual needs in order to reach success.

Teaching has been my passion since I was a little four-year-old playing school with her dolls and stuffed animals in the basement of my parents' home. I love reading, writing and learning!

...as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress. I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and nursing homes. I enjoy tennis and...

...as well as working as an adjunct professor for a local community college, and as a Freshman Volleyball coach. My absolute FAVORITE subject to teach and tutor is literature.

I am able to teach a variety of subjects, but the most rewarding subjects for me to teach are Math and Reading. Working with children on those subjects is the most rewarding because I love seeing the light in a child's eyes when they learn something new. It is...

...of being an astronaut was not really what I wanted to do. I had always had a passion for music, and was a good trumpet player, and with a little nudging from my College Band Director, well, the road definitely took a right turn. In 2002 I moved to Phoenix where I took my second teaching job in the Glendale Union High School District at Washington High School. While at WHS I was the director...

I want my relationship with my students to feel like a friendship, and ideally, I want us both to have some fun.

This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin with.... Whether you come to...
