We have all been in the situation where we needed help. My daughter struggled through the public school system and needed a bit of help. I decided to homeschool her from 5th through 8th grade in order to give her a solid foundation for high school. She's graduating high school this year with an associate's degree at 18 years old. Sometimes hurdles turn out to be a launching pad.

Additionally, I have a passion for working with English language learners. I have three years of classroom experience teaching middle school math in a school that is 90 percent ESL students.

While deployed in the United States Navy I earned an associates in Electronic Technology from Coastline Community College. After I was finishing discharged for fulfilling my military contact,
I earned my bachelor's degree from UHD in 2013.

I have a bachelor of science in Political Science with minors in Communication, Public Policy and Administration, and International Relations.

I love teaching math because it's a practical skill used in day-to-day life. My daughter is right brained and struggled in math. It is deeply gratifying to help a child and watch their self confidence grow when they are successful in subjects they deem difficult.

I believe every child can reach their goals when given the foundation to succeed. I am a trouble shooter and problem solver by nature. I believe in listening to the student in order to develop meaningful communication. Once communication is established, it's a matter of setting goals and creating a plan to reach those goals. I love helping children achieve their academic goals.
