I am a graduate of Columbia College. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I received my Master's degree in Divergent Learning. I hold certifications in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and Gifted and Talented. I am certified to teach grades from four year-old kindergarten to sixth grade. I also have my Teaching English as a Foreign Language certification. Upon graduation, I taught second grade and then moved on to teach third grade. Currently, I teach English as a Second Other Language. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my passion is English, writing, and reading. I do enjoy tutoring math and science in the elementary grades. My past tutoring experience includes working with students in elementary, middle, and high school. I have also tutored students for the English and Reading portions of the SAT and ACT. In the past, I have worked with college students in English, writing, and reading. I believe in personalizing lessons to meet a student's learning needs. Education is an important part of a student's life, and I try to impart that to the students I work with. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, and walking. I also enjoy taking courses to further my own education.
