About Me

I believe that any student can be successful in learning. If the teacher and student both understand the ideal way the student learns, environment and learning style, then that student can also be successful. I hold a Masters degree in Education and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of Houston. I am a native Texan, but I have lived in Hawaii, Tennessee, and California. Teaching is my second career, but I have been teaching special populations for eight years. I have a proven track record of identifying gaps in learning. In addition, I model strategies of successful learning and then have the students practice those strategies. Through modeling successful learning, I have had several students pass state level standardized tests, after rigorous, individualized tutoring. Reading, home improvement projects, and spending quality time with my family are among my favorite hobbies. I also volunteer my time with at-risk youth, as well as being an avid recycling enthusiast.
