I am passionate about teaching because I love to see people grasp concepts that were perhaps confusing just minutes before. I like being a part of the process of success; each time a student does well in the educational process, that puts them one step closer to achieving their dream. I graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in French and a B.S. in Chemistry. I have fifteen years of experience in tutoring and teaching. I taught college level students at IUN, IUPUI, and Ivy Tech. I taught elementary kids and at Maple Grove Elementary. And, I currently teach both elementary school kids and high school kids at Sylvan Learning Center. I tutor french, college test prep (ACT and SAT), and mathematics for grades K -10, including Algebra and Geometry. My favorite subject to teach has always been math. When teaching math, I introduce the study material, along with pertinent examples and problem solving techniques. Then, before moving on to the next concept, I allow students to try problems independently, while remaining available to provide guidance.

When I am not teaching, I like to travel, try new foods, learn languages, dance, garden and spend time with my friends and my kids. I have a white boxer named Maggie and a black kitty named Jasper.
