"My background in education spans just over a decade. Throughout my tenure, I've held multiple administrative roles within both the K-12 and higher education settings. I hold an M.Ed. in School Counseling, am a Nationally Certified Counselor, and currently work as a school counselor and own a college counseling business. My counseling background allows me to see each student as a unique individual, giving me the ability to mold my techniques into what would work best for each student.

When working with students, I like to use various multi-sensory methods. I find that each student learns in a different way and the multi-sensory approach allows me to find the way in which each student best learns. When working with younger children on letter recognition, sound recognition, and reading, I like to use shaving cream, play-doh, and other techniques that they can see, feel, smell, and touch. Not only do the children have fun learning this way but I find that they quickly pick up the concepts.

I realize the importance of working with students within a quiet, distraction-free environment. In my experience, I have found that students seem less distracted when working outside of their home environment. For that reason, I offer tutoring in my office. If you are unable or would rather me travel to you, I am open to that as well. I have worked with students in my office, their homes, and even at the public library. Whatever works best for each individual student!

My love of teaching comes from my own love of learning. As a lifelong learner, I am a committed to guiding each student with whom I work towards a greater love of learning. Not only do I want to see each student succeed academically, I love to watch as they learn more about themselves and gain confidence along the way!" less...
