As a teacher with over 17 years experience it is important for me to know what "works" for my students. Sometimes I know right away while other times it takes a considerable amount of work. It is my belief that when a student sees that you care about their success they will go that extra mile and accomplish things they never though possible. I enjoy helping students achieve there goals. In the state of Virginia I am certified in middle grades English and math along with my certification as a K-12 special education teacher. I hold a bachelors degree in marketing, masters in special education and a specialist degree in high education administration. I have taught many places including Texas, Washington state, Tennessee and Florida. Teaching is my life.

BA Kent State University at Kent

I graduated summa cum laude from Kent State University in 2011, with a Bachelor's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. I was a peer tutor for 1.5 years at the Kent State Writing Center, where I assisted a wide array of students from freshman level to PhD candidates. After college, I taught ESL to adults in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Cleveland, OH. I have experience working with adult students from many different cultures and educational backgrounds. I have also spent time learning a second language, and I understand how difficult the experience can be. I minored in German language at Kent State University and in 2014, I completed a two-month language course at the Goethe Institute in Germany. I continued to work in arts and education as a Director's assistant at a children's theater camp, and then as the Enrollment Manager at a music-centered preschool. In addition to my experience in education, I also worked for over five years in the business sector as a customer service and global mobility professional. In my role, I provided services to employees moving to a new country for their job. Those services included arranging intercultural training, and coordinating help for employees in finding a home, enrolling their children in school and applying for their driver's license. In 2019, I earned the industry certification of Global Mobility Specialist (GMS). I have learned first-hand the language and writing needs of business professionals. I am passionate about helping students improve themselves, achieve their goals and gain a sense of personal accomplishment through education. I feel privileged to help students improve their writing, reading and language skills, and learn more about the world around them. My teaching approach is kind, patient and respectful. In my spare time, I love to read, write and play piano.

I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kent State University. Throughout middle and high school, my access to tutors and other assistance services was limited. This in turn inhibited my learning and caused me to struggle in aspects of school that never really clicked. So I want to give others what I never got, and hopefully make learning easier to achieve. My subject of choice is math, but specifically, I tutor Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry.

I have always loved math and science. That's why I went to college for physics. After graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology, I went on to get my Masters and PhD from Kent State University. My dream was to become a research scientist and make the kind of interesting discoveries that I heard about when I was a kid. However, I discovered that I enjoy teaching much more than doing research so I became a high school teacher. In addition to teaching high school math and physics, I have taught math at a community college and physics at a university. I spent several years working as a tutor while I was in college and a teaching assistant in grad school. I have also done private tutoring for high school and college students. I am comfortable with any level of math or physics. I always try to make my lessons relatable to my students by using real-world examples like riding in a car. After teaching high school for six years, I decided to go back to school for medical physics so that I could use my love for physics to help people suffering from cancer. I now work at a radiation oncology clinic but I did not lose my passion for teaching.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference. You just have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Jane GoodallI want to make a positive, world changing difference! I believe teachers are given the opportunity to build on foundations laid by parents for a prosperous future, not only for individual children, but for our society as a whole. Although this is a huge responsibility for the adults, I believe that through the education of children, we are able to deliver children the opportunity to find a future which they enjoy. I believe in the reward of seeing children flourish and it is worth the effort and dedication required. I am a strong advocate for partnership with the parents/guardians of students I work with.While classroom/large group and small group settings are both important, I find particular value in the opportunity to meet 1:1 with students. Meeting a student where they are and helping them grow is very life-giving and rewarding to me!I have both my bachelor's and master's degrees in the field of education. I have over 10 years of classroom experience in the "brick and mortar" school. Since 2020, I have been teaching and tutoring on-line. I have my degrees in and have worked with students in K-12th grades, both regular education and special education, across a plethora of content areas.Let's connect! I'd love to meet you!
