My undergraduate degree is in English and my graduate degree is in Education/Reading. When my children were in grade school, I returned to teaching and worked mostly with adults and high school students who were learning English. In addition, I taught college composition and reading courses and later I began to tutor students of all ages who needed help with homework, specifically reading and writing skills. I greatly enjoy helping my students improve their skills and gain confidence as they continue to progress. I love learning and have a great desire to keep sharing that love of learning with all students! I've found that with a bit of extra attention and guidance, struggling students will master challenging assignments.

Otherwise, I like to spend my off time visiting family (both in the US and in Europe), and enjoying the beach. I also have written as a freelancer and just completed a book on health.
