If you like video games I might just be the...

...the remote special education teacher for students from my school. I took a break from teaching to stay home when I had my baby in April 2022.

Finally, I aim to encourage the students to learn about their strengths and...

I have over eight years experience tutoring, mostly in math and science, but other subjects as well. I attempt to find analogous concepts from a student's other interests or daily experiences to make abstract concepts more understandable.

I tutor these classes...
