I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 8 years old. I am incredibly passionate about teaching, and always have been. I believe that learning about the world around us is one of the best ways that we can improve it, and being a part of that for the young people of today is incredibly important to me. I have worked with students in a variety of environments, from outdoor education programs to traditional classroom teaching. I have a bachelor of science degree in secondary history and social studies education with a minor in women and gender studies. I currently teach middle school science, and I love it! I tutor in a variety of subjects including, but not limited to, history and social studies, elementary core subjects, and my personal favorite, personal finance. I am also available for assistance preparing for standardized tests.
