"Your methods have helped me so much", "You're such a good teacher" are common quotes I have heard from my students over the years, and it means so much to me. I believe in helping people achieve their educational goals. I have a BA in History with a minor in Theatre Arts, as well as a Master's in Education. I have a teaching license and am endorsed in PreK-12 Social Studies, ELA, and ESOL. I also tutor college students. I have also taught Chess, Creative Writing, Geography, and Cooking. I have over ten years of teaching experience in various grades at schools in Oregon and Texas, as well as overseas in three countries - The Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, and Kuwait. I love to travel. My profile picture was taken by the Baltic Sea in Estonia.

My methods have helped students appreciate subjects that they previously struggled with or didn't like, and as a result they gain greater confidence and self-efficacy. I live in the Pacific Standard Time Zone. Let me know how I can help you in your academic goals, and I hope to see you soon." less...
