I have been teaching for over 10 years and love going to work every day. I went to Concordia University - Wisconsin for my undergrad and majored in Elementary/Middle School Education with an emphasis in mathematics. A few years later, I went back to CUW and got a degree in Alternative Education. I currently work full time at a high school teaching math, but have experience with teaching math in grades 1-9 previously as well and reading skills and comprehension to grades 1-9. Before working with Varsity Tutors, I spent a few of my off summers tutoring privately for friends and family whose students were falling behind or whom needed a little "push" going in to the next school year. I love getting to know the students, their personalities and their quirkiness. That moment when students finally "get it" after struggling with a concept or working really hard on a subject is incredibly rewarding both for me and the student. I love that moment and work really hard with my students to get to that point. I am not afraid to try different methods - if something isnt working for you - then we need to rethink what we are doing and try to figure out what we need to do in order to be successful. Your success is my success. Your struggles are my struggles - and success is a much better feeling. I know all student are capable of success and that is what we will work at!
