I am a graduate of Bethel University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on education, American government, and public policy. I volunteered to teach reading for years and received my ESL tutoring certificate. After graduation, I started tutoring K-2 students during the COVID-19 pandemic in reading and math and hosted a pod classroom for students K-5. While I tutor both Reading/Writing and Math K-5, I am most passionate about teaching reading in grades K-2. I love the little ones' confidence grows so quickly when learning to read and write. In my experience helping struggling students catch up on their reading skills, I have helped students go from crying at the thought of writing half a sentence to writing many sentences in one sitting, and those experiences help me continue helping other students.
