...believe that by bringing a child's interests into their school work and helping them to understand, they can develop the desire to want to further their learning. I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at Penn State. Once I completed that, I plan to attend graduate school to continue my education -- I wish I could stay in school forever and learn about everything! Throughout my college career, and even in high school, I...

...and led many such groups, as well as one-on-one sessions, helping students navigate through various writing assignments in all subject areas. As an English teacher for more than two decades, I know the issues that most students experience as readers and writers.

...burden -- a long paper over the holiday break or busy work they can skirt. With writing, there is not always a correct answer (sometimes there is, like with "there," "their," and "they're," but we will get to that later), and for some that can be scary, but for me, and hopefully the students I tutor, this is the greatest blessing.

I have been a high school math teacher for the past 6 years, while tutoring on and off since 2006. During this time, I have taught Algebra 1 to Statistics to pre-calculus/trigonometry, including ACT math prep.
