I am very passionate about helping students to learn. As a teacher in elementary education for 22 years, I have instilled in my students the passion of learning, and I hope to instill that same message to students on this platform. I am experience in teaching through various modes of instruction and have earned various degrees, including my doctorate degree in education, with varied methods of instruction. My favorite subjects to tutor reading and writing because I believe its important for students to be able to comprehend and communicate what they are learning through reading and writing. My teaching style and philosophy is directed towards the learning needs of the each student. I love to travel, garden, and to do arts and crafts!
