I previously worked as a credit recovery online teacher in Denver, CO, and San Diego, CA. I recently moved to Portland with my husband and am hoping to return to teaching once the pandemic is over next year. In the meantime, I want to continue working with students in my community, doing what I love best: teaching!

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." A. A MilneStudent success is my passion! My firm belief is that positive guidance and communication are essential for success when working with students.I have over 15 years of experience working with the students of my community as a Substitute Teacher, a Special Education Assistant, an Early Childhood Assistant, and an ESL Teacher. I have experience teaching all core subject areas, but grammar, phonics, and writing are my favorites!I have a BA degree in English with a concentration in professional writing.When I am not teaching, I am writing and enjoying an RV lifestyle with my husband and sweet dog Buddy.

I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado - Boulder, studying Mathematics with a computational emphasis alongside minors in Economics and Computer Science. Math and test taking are my two academic strong points, so I focus on teaching Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and ACT / SAT Prep. I try to bundle a passionate approach with a focus on the principles to produce students who can think on their feet and attack any question with confidence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, athletics (especially rowing), and playing video games.

I have dedicated my professional life to education. It gives me great satisfaction to see ideas and concepts suddenly click for students. I am passionate about education as a pathway to new opportunities and economic success.I attended the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in sociology, minoring in psychology. I then attended Michigan State University, where I received the master's and doctoral degrees in sociology. My areas of interest included Latin American societies and so I learned Spanish as well. I have three times had teaching assignments in Central America. I worked for many years as a full-time professor and academic administrator; I have since retired but continue to teach social sciences courses on a part-time basis. I have worked extensively with students on individual projects and have served as a mentor to many students. I enjoy working with students at the high school and college levels and have had considerable experience working with adult students.In my leisure time I like to watch movies, to read, garden and visit friends and family members.

I completed my education at Texas A&M University and the University of Phoenix. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business-Hospitality Management and my Masters of Business Administration (MBA). I am extremely passionate about education and personal growth and strongly believe that an educated world is a better world. If I can help with that mission in any way, I'm excited and motivated to do so. Since I was in elementary school, I was always the "go-to" girl to help others in my class. I have found that I have a natural gift for helping people feel good about themselves (kids and adults alike) and have translated that gift in my work as a tutor as well as my career. Although I am knowledgeable in many academic areas, my favorite subjects are English and Mathematics and I have found that my excitement about these subjects is why I am so successful in helping others improve in these areas. I cater my teaching style depending on each student's learning style. Because everyone learns differently, I find it extremely important to get to know my students in the very first session to ensure that we will both be successful in reaching our goals. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, camping, and music.

While earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in English, I spent four years working full time as a Writing Lab Consultant at my college's Center for Student Learning. My experience as a writing lab tutor was my first experience with, and truly ignited my passion for, teaching; as I honed my own writing and instruction skills, I developed best practices to communicate writing skills to students with varying educational backgrounds, writing experience levels, majors, and assignment types. I was ultimately able to gain the highest level of certification in the lab, the Master Level College Reading and Learning Association Certification, after many hours of tutoring and training sessions. I was invigorated by the challenging and rewarding experiences I had collaborating with students to help them develop their writing skills. I was thrilled to watch so many of them become better writers, and more confident students, than when they first entered the lab. This passion for working with students led me to complete my Ph.D. at Arizona State University in the interdisciplinary field of Gender Studies, where I am currently an instructor. I have taught college courses there for the past five years, and in addition to instructing in the classroom, I have greatly enjoyed working with individually students who are interested in going to graduate school, medical school, and law school, to work on their admissions essays and writing samples. Working with students, and helping them be successful, is my true passion, and I bring this passion into every tutoring session I completewhether that be in basics of composition: writing, editing, grammar, and syntax, more advanced questions of English and American Literature, or even some of my most challenging and rewarding sessions: creating thought-provoking application and college essays from scratch.

I am an experienced teacher/tutor that has been working since 1988. I have taught high school mathematics (grades 9-12) and I have also taught college courses at several locations. I have even taught online courses. I have tutored for learning centers and privately. I enjoy the variety of each new day of teaching. I learn from my students as they learn from me.

I'm a 2016 graduate of Pepperdine University with my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Currently I'm preparing to apply to optometry school; I hope to be accepted for the 2018-19 academic year. During my time in college, I was involved as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry I and II laboratory, as a tutor for General Chemistry I, as a member of the Regents Scholar Student Board, and as a "small group" leader through multiple organizations. I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and held the positions of Historian, Senior Transition Leader, and member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee during my undergraduate years. As far as tutoring goes, I offer my services to students of all ages and in numerous subjects. I particularly enjoy tutoring the STEM subjects. I also thoroughly enjoy working with female STEM students, which allows me to serve as a role model and to offer additional encouragement for my female students to not lose interest in STEM subjects. A large part of my tutoring style focuses on logical thinking for how to tackle new and difficult problems using previous knoledge and educated hypotheses; I have found that my students find both success and a boost in confidence using my methodology. Aside from my academic interests, I love cooking and baking, my cat, photography, and National Parks.

I graduated from SUNY Geneseo with my Bachelor's in Philosophy. I have spent the past three years as a teacher at a private high school in Connecticut. I have taught British Literature, World Literature, Drama, Health, Physical Education, and Psychology. I have also tutored for the past three months at a Community College, working in the Center for Academic Progress, teaching remedial English and preparing tutoring materials. I am a sensitive, patient, and enthusiastic teacher. I love teaching, but I prefer one-on-one interactions, they are the best for learning and teaching. I am respectful of all people, and happy to work with all ages. I genuinely care whether someone understands material, I believe in a student-centered approach, and I prefer discussion and positive reinforcement over being a critical authority figure. I have found most students very responsive to me and appreciative of my methods. My hobbies and interests include writing, playing sports and video games, and spending time with friends.

I am excited about this opportunity to help aid you towards your goals. Let me tell you about myself. I have a Bachelors of Economics degree from U-Mass Amherst. Few years after college, I decided to change my career and dive into the Information Technology field. Today, I am a certified Cyber Security Professional. I hope I can be of help towards everyone!
