"Hello everyone! I love to see the moment when "the light turns on" & students totally understand what I just taught. I am constantly learning to keep my knowledge fresh -- for instance, right now, I am working on my TEFL 160 Certification to improve my ability to Teach English as a Foreign Language.

My rates vary based on the complexity of the subject & the time I need to customize each lesson to meet an individual student's needs. Please see the Rates & Policies page for details. For example, I charge a higher rate for students in college-level courses than I do for K-6 students.

In March 2020, I received my TEFL 40 (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate, I have an MBA, a Masters in Finance, and a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I graduated with honors in both my MBA and my Bachelor's degree. Over the years, I developed certain study skills that helped me succeed, and help my students succeed, too!

I have excellent skills in English, Grammar, and Literature. In addition to my English and Grammar skills, I am also proficient in APA citations, references, and formatting.

I am a mentor with iCouldbe--a program for at-risk high school students. I encourage high school students to stay in school, do their best, & go to college. During the school year, I mentor up to five high school students online, helping them choose a career path, or a college path. I work with each of my assigned students all school year, answer questions about my profession, or my degrees, & help them progress through the program.

I taught with Boise Community Education for seven years and I am currently in my 11th year of teaching with Wyzant.

If you want someone to do your student's work for them, then I am not for you. If you believe in empowering students with the skills they need to achieve success, then contact me. I have daytime, evening, & weekend appointments available. I look forward to working with you, or your student -- providing the skills needed for success." less...
