About Me

Every child can learn no matter the circumstance. I continually strive to help students connect to the curriculum objective and feel proud of his/her own strengths. Teaching has been a calling and I love seeing that "light bulb" go on for a student when a challenge has been met. I graduated from Ohio State over 30 years ago with my elementary education major and music minor. The drive to teach has stayed just as strong from the day I graduated to now. With my masters degree from High Point University, I grew as a student myself and the teacher drive continued. Now as the mother of a special needs child my teaching has changed direction. I work from home tutoring children of all types and interests. I love teaching all subjects, but there is a draw toward Math and Science. Interestingly enough those were my worst two subjects as a high school student. Now as a teacher, these are my best two subjects to teach. I know the feeling of being confused and/or frustrated over a math/science sub-topic. Therefore, I know how to solve some of the confusion challenges because I've been there myself. Hence, i can change the dimming light bulb of confusion to a bright light of understanding and confidence. I have been a tutor for the past several years since my retirement. My tutoring experience includes both face to face and online tutorial instruction. While Math and Science are a definite focus, I have worked with all core subjects to include ESL -Reading instruction. The integration of music and drama in all core subjects is a special interest, not to mention experiments and the Scientific Method. Remember..."if your mind can conceive, and your heart can believe it, you know you can achieve it! " Let's work together to achieve greatness with understanding.
