I am an experienced teacher who taught at a private Christian school for 25 years.
I tutored students during the school year and the summer.

About Me

I love working with children. It is exciting to me when a child gets something he/she did not understand before. I like to build a relationship with each student and find out what type of learner he/she is and use methods which will help a child succeed. I believe that a student is not going to be motivated unless he or she is connected with the material. I try to find their interest and strengths and help them make those connections. I like getting to really know my students so I can get to know what kind of learners they are. I plan on what fits my students best. Learning should be fun!

Hobbies & Interests

I like to read and travel. My favorite sports are basketball and baseball.

Q&A with Sharlene

A teacher is a role model, and it is his/her responsibility to help students desire to become lifelong learners. Teachers need to be flexible and sensitive to each child's learning strengths and weaknesses and use proven methods to help each child succeed.
