I earned my Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts from San Diego State University and received a Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential in 1992. I bring over 20 years of experience in classroom instruction and independent tutoring. My teaching philosophy focuses on building a trusting and safe relationship with each student, creating an environment where they feel confident to take risks, ask questions, and explore new ideas. I prioritize understanding each student's learning style and tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I dedicate myself to helping students thrive and uncover their potential, making every lesson a moment of self-discovery.
