I have background in teaching a wide variety of learners and love to see students "soar" academically. I like to make learning meaningful as well as make connections in the lessons I teach so that they are most memorable for students. I truly enjoy hearing success stories from students that may have once struggled in some areas academically, but are now more aware of strategies that we may have uncovered together that makes them more successful.
