I am a certified teacher with a BSEd from Abilene Christian University. I have been teaching and tutoring students, grades K-8, for 25 years. Reading, Writing, and English Language Arts are my favorite subjects, so those are the subjects I choose to teach and tutor. I have training and experience with students of all learning levels. I also have a special needs child of my own, so I understand the needs of students from a teacher's and a parent's standpoint. I believe that the greatest success comes when children are allowed to move at their own pace, taking time to strengthen their skills and reinforce their successes as they learn. I love working with students, helping them improve their skills, making them see that everyone is someone and every someone can succeed!

My hobbies are reading, writing, and gardening. I also like to keep pretty flowers growing in the flowerbeds around our home. I live on a farm, so I love nature and am very interested in crops and animals. I am also interested in the quest for a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
