I am very passionate about helping others learn in interesting, meaningful ways such as with Kagan Cooperative Learning.
I am a certified teacher and have taught in public schools for 35 years. As an educator, I mostly taught grade 3 and 4.

My education includes a BS degree in Elementary Education in 1988 from Iowa State University. In addition, I have a MS in Curriculum design, Instruction, and Assessment from Walden University in 2006.

My approval to tutor is in the following areas:
Elementary School English,
Elementary School Math,
Elementary School Reading,
Elementary School Writing,
English,
Expository Writing,
Math,
Reading,
and Writing.

My favorite subject to tutor is math because I like to see peoples light go on, and with math I see it!

My teaching and tutoring style is to create fun learning experiences that create learning!

Outside of academia, I am interested in building meaningful relationships and memories with play, art, and fun!

I also truly believe in the power of yet. The Power of Yet

I can't do that---ends a story.

I can't do that YET---means ANYTHING is possible!
