I attended Rutgers University in NJ, studying Computer Science and Elementary Education. I have always had a passion for numbers and logic, and realized that good teachers in Computer technology, math, and science were essential to develop the future leaders and inventors in our country. I have taught computer classes for eleven years and tutored adults and children in computer technology and math for seven years. I was the lead math tutor for middle school students tutoring pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry to students who either struggled or excelled in their regular classroom. I have the greatest experience and heart for algebra perhaps because I have done it the most or just that it is the very foundation of logic in math. When I worked with many of my elementary students in math, I realized the great need for reading intervention. I took classes to learn the Wilson method and was mentored by a certified Wilson trainer to tutor reading. I have been tutoring Wilson reading for the past two years. I believe I am successful as a tutor because I meet the student where they are and will adapt to their needs to forge a relationship fostering learning. I love animals in general but cats the most. I have two cats and volunteer with a cat rescue. If God had not given me a family with mild allergies, I might have become the "crazy cat lady!"I believe all good things come from God, and every person is special, loved, and uniquely designed with talents and purpose. Tutoring allows me to use my gift of teaching to help others realize their potential. Watching students succeed at something that had been a challenge is exciting!
