I started teaching and tutoring as a retail employee in Cleveland, teaching people how to use the technology I sold. From there, I worked in the Writing Center at John Carroll, then taught composition. I taught composition while in graduate school at UW-Milwaukee, and I spent a considerable amount of time teaching technology - in a sense - through a customer service job at a big cell-phone company. I taught 5th grade in Chicago Public Schools, worked as a substitute teacher in CPS, and finally moved into a middle-school science and reading position in the northwest suburbs, where I recently began my 10th year as a classroom teacher. I love to teach, and I think that my teaching experience is diverse enough to make virtually any subject - and any audience - within reach. My favorite areas, though, are those that are fundamental to everything else (in my opinion) - reading and writing. I finished a Masters in Reading Education at Olivet Nazarene University, and I am also a certified Reading Specialist. I hope to eventually pursue a doctorate and advanced research into the complex and changing intersections between literacy and technology. To me, this is the most practical and relevant area that I can focus on, and it also happens to fit my passions and my strengths. I love to write, and I love to teach writing because of what it helps me learn about my students and about writing itself.

My approach to teaching is rooted in patience, encouragement, and adaptability. I believe that education is not just about delivering information but about inspiring students to ask questions, make connections, and develop the skills they need to navigate life. Whether it is through engaging lessons, real-world applications, or personalized support, I aim to make learning meaningful and accessible for all students. Above all, I want my students to feel empowered. I want them to know that they are capable, that their voices matter, and that their potential is limitless. Watching students gain confidence, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals is the most rewarding part of teaching. It fuels my commitment to education and reinforces my belief that, as educators, we have the ability to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

Let's get started! I have helped K-2 students learn and grow for the past 15 years. I'm excited to meet your child and see how I can help them progress!

Hola!I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a Bachelor of Arts in Romance Language Education. I received my Master’s in Spanish Language, Literature, and Culture from Wayne State University.I have been teaching for 25 years. I have literally taught all age levels, from pre-schoolers through senior citizens. I’ve tutored numerous individuals and couples throughout this time period. Each age presents different challenges, but the variety keeps me on my toes.Currently, I tutor all levels of Spanish, as well as French 1. I love learning, speaking, and teaching languages.In my tutoring, I strive to connect with the student, find his/her needs, as well as strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. I use that information to tailor the lessons to fit the student’s need.In my free time, I enjoy doing aerobics and spin classes, scrapbooking, riding wave runners and snowmobiles, and travelling.

Hello! I am a life long learner, a passionate educator, native speaker of English, bilingual in Spanish and always on the look out for my next new favorite book. My philosophy on learning is that it should be fun! Of course, I work hard with my students, but when we are having fun, I see the learning is effortless, endless, and the student success level in my classroom soars!I knew when I was a little girl I knew wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. I LOVED "playing school" and reading and mostly having fun with my mom! This childhood of mine has shaped my teaching philosophy immensely. As I grew up, I realized not everyone has the same background. I began volunteering with my mom when I was in elementary school. I loved helping out at Special Olympics and working with students who had various disabilities. Once I was in high school, I continued volunteering and started to use my knowledge of the Spanish language to communicate with younger children in a program for students at-risk. It was a wonderful mentoring program. My students and I loved having fun together. As an aspiring teacher, I had been so impressed with how much they were growing in confidence, attention to their tasks, and becoming respectful and responsible students as well. I am now a proud mommy to two very smart, very funny, very kind little girls of my own. With both of my girls in school full time now, and boy are they reading rockstars! I am really looking forward to spending more time doing what I love-teaching! There are so many amazing things to learn and discover and I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life long learning quest and I hope you will be part of it!

Hello there!I have been a nurse for 15 years, I started my career as an LPN and then went back to school to complete my BSN at Olivet Nazarene University.I have worked mainly as an ICU nurse at level 1 trauma hospitals. I am board certified, CCRN and I am currently working in the cath lab/IR suite in a small community hospital.My mother and my brother are nurses as well; my brother is in the ED and my mom is on the Tele unit. We love to compare stories and compete about which specialty is the best. Good times! I have three teenagers and another nurse in the making.I love to teach. I can help you with NCLEX board exams, both LPN and RN. I can also help with certifications like CCRN, Progressive care, etc. I love to see when the light bulb goes off and they understand a new concept.

So if you need some extra help with trying to pass your board exam or certification, don't hesitate to reach out. Hope to work with you soon!

I enjoy helping others to learn and acquire another language, through repetition, practice and real life situations. In addition, I like gaining repertoire with my student so they feel comfortable sharing their academic challenges so that we can overcome them together.
