"I am an educator and private tutor who has been working with students K-12 across many disciplines and skill levels for more than 13 years. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, a degree in Elementary Education, a degree in Social Sciences as well as a Masters in Teaching. I have taught K-5, as well as 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th & 12th grades. Prior to teaching, I served multiple years in the AmeriCorps program working with youth in education, and I have spent more than 3,000 hours in middle school and high school classrooms and ran my own tutoring business for more than 8 years.

I love tutoring on academic material, but my top skill set is taking complex ideas and subjects and communicating them in more clear and relatable terms. When I was growing up, I struggled in many subjects and I operate from the perspective of knowing what it feels like to not "get it" right away. Learning can be very fun, and there are tricks to making it less stressful!

I look forward to meeting you and the student and determining how I can best support their academic needs! Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

My teaching expertise especially strong in reading and writing, but I also have a love for history, civics and establishing understanding in how we function within society and interact with each other and institutions. I have many general content resources and strong knowledge of math and science across the K-12 disciplines.

Please feel free to contact me! I have a traditional school schedule where I am usually done for the day by 4:30 pm, and I am fairly flexible with tutoring appointments. Let me know what I can do to help!" less...
