"As a 25 year elementary classroom teacher, I crave discovering new learning practices that keep education engaging for students. Having taught second through fourth grades, Title One Reading, and being an on-line tutor have given me a broad perspective to how different children learn. I am a proud graduate from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor's of Art degree in elementary education and earned a Master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Western Governor's University.

While I am eager to tutor in any subjects, I most enjoy reading, language and math. These subjects are where I am most creative and see the most growth in my students.

My teaching style is high energy, interactive, and purposeful while integrating connections to the student and the world. Thematic concepts are often used and I am passionate about customizing instruction to meet a child's interests. This includes reading material, teaching tools, story problems, and discussions to create a child-centered method of instruction." less...
