Well, I have. Working with children to learn has always been a dream of mine. When I was a young girl I would cherish the times when I was the teacher (play) and my friends and relatives were students. I would spend hours playing and pretending that I was the instructor. Now that I have experienced being the teacher for 18 years, I just can't get enough of working with children. This is why I am now a tutor. Working with children to learn has allowed me to live my dream over and over seeing the gleam in their eyes and hearing the joy in their voices as they unlock the key to a vast horizon. I received my Elementary Certification from The University of Missouri, in 1979. I later returned to school and received my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Arkansas in 2011.I tutor Math (grades 1-3), Phonics, and Reading (grades 1-5). My favorite subject to tutor is beginning level reading which includes phonics. The reason I enjoy teaching beginning level reading is because I believe that mastering phonics gives children a foundation in which to build on in order to become fluent readers. I believe all students can learn and I teach to the students' learning style giving them multiple ways of being successful.

My personal interests are reading, enjoying a good comedy movie, and attending church.
