I earned my bachelor of science degree in Computer Science from NC State University. I have spent hours working with my own children (one in college and one in high school) to help them understand a variety of subjects. I also worked in a tutoring role with high school students during my time in college, and have considerable experience working with high school age students as a leader in a church youth group.

I provide tutoring in a variety of subjects. My strongest areas of tutoring expertise would be in Computer Science (e.g. JavaScript, Java, web development), math (e.g. Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry), and grammar (e.g. SAT English questions).

I am a detail-oriented teacher. I like to cover subjects from a variety of different perspectives to ensure the student has complete understanding of the material. I believe in asking questions that lead a student towards the right way of thinking, rather than strict memorization. Because of my abilities in both STEM subjects and communication, I believe that gives me a broad perspective that can be useful in bridging diverse subjects.

My personal interests outside academic subjects include watching and playing sports (e.g. basketball), listening to music (especially rock), volunteering (Y Guides leadership council), participating in events with my church, and hanging out with my family. Our family has recently gotten involved with fostering dogs, which is a special challenge.
