Chadron State College

I am a lifelong learner and passionate about education. I graduated from Chadron State College in Nebraska with a bachelor's degree in Biology. In addition, I have 50+ hours of graduate work in Special Education at the University of Wyoming and The University of Northern Colorado. After 35 years in the classroom, I have developed many skills to help students become successful. I am available to tutor in Earth, Space, Life, and General Sciences as well as Biology. With 25+ years working in Special Education, I have the experience to help you learn content as well as organization, study skills, time management, and self-discipline. I am also able to assist with IEPs and accommodations as needed. I am a people person who has learned the value of helping individual students succeed. I am also passionate about spending time with family and friends, reading, and doing crafts. I am excited to begin this new chapter of my career.

Q&A with Susan

All students can be successful in the classroom if they are willing to ask for help when they need it and are also willing to put in the work. How would you help a student stay motivated? A motivated student is the student that can see his/her progress on a frequent basis. The student often needs praise and encouragement on a daily basis in order to get and stay motivated. By pointing out what he/she has learned, I can help with this process. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
