I am a highly experienced teacher with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (K-8) and Special Education, Emotional Disabilities (K-12). I also have a Masters of Education in Secondary Education, Mathematics (7-12).

I am also a science geek and medicine called to me before teaching did. My TEFL with an IELTS certification allowed me to live and teach in Indonesia for almost three years. I taught a wide age range of students both in person then online extensively (as most of found ourselves in early 2020 and then too long after that). Being a curious bird by nature, I found the cultures and languages of Southeast Asia to be captivating. I asked as many questions of my students as they did of me and that help...More

I try to mak...More

I am also my little sister???s unofficial Spanish tutor ??? she is a high school student currently taking Spanish 2. She likes the extra help from time to time, and I love practicing my Spanish (as well as the valuable time I get to spend with my sister!).

I am qualified and skilled in mathematics ranging from Algebra to Calculus, as well as both creative and non-creative writing styles which grant a major proficiency in English grammar, syntax, and diction. Also, considering my background as a military dependent, I have lived overseas in Japan, which have granted me an extensive knowledge of Japanese culture and customs, including a conversational understanding of the language and its utility. Japanese and English are my favorite subjects to stud...More

I am not meeting my objectives, or if a lesson or activity does not seem to be working, I try something different. While it is rewarding to see student progress, to see engagement, self-realization, broadening, and student enjoyment of the course, teaching is also rewarding to me. This is one of the most important parts of teaching, for if the teacher is not enjoying the course, the students are not likely to enjoy it, either. Finally, for all that I hope my students take away from my courses, I...More

I am a graduate of Arizona State University where I received my Bachelor degree in Theater Arts. My original focus was to help struggling young students by integrating theater play into everyday subjects. I was inspired to go back to school in Flagstaff, Arizona where I earned my Master's degree in Education. Since then I have taught classes for kindergarten through high school working in both Colorado and Arizona schools. I find that engaging with students in either small groups or one to one i...More
