"Hello! I am a retired math and English teacher (32 years) with an M.Ed. from Furman University and National Board certification. I have extensive experience teaching English, math, and gifted students, and I started tutoring in college. Now that I am retired, I am privileged to tutor students in my home and all over the country. I’ve tutored well over a thousand students in a variety of subjects.
My gift is breaking down complex concepts and making them easy to understand while creating a safe and friendly atmosphere that encourages students to take risks. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring because it is very rewarding to witness the "a-ha" moment in a student's eyes when it all comes together. Sometimes it is an audible "Oh!" that makes my heart soar. Additionally, I enjoy building a relationship with a student (and their parent) over time and correcting misconceptions or missed skills.
My own personality type is warm-hearted, patient, a life-long learner (I love to research and spend hours a week doing so), honest, and artistically inclined. I am a perfectionist, but only with myself.
If I sound like a good match for you or your child, please e-mail me. Generally I will respond within a few hours.
Thanks, and I hope you choose WyzAnt for your tutoring needs. It is a great company and you won't be disappointed.
