"I'm a relocated Coloradoan who loves the ocean! I provide effective but kind feedback to struggling students and hope to spark a similar response to my passion for reading, writing, literature, government, civics, and political science. I'm an insatiable reader, a recognized and accomplished writer, and a thorough researcher and analyst. Proofreading and editing are gifts that come naturally to me, and I continue to sharpen as an editing consultant to the Baker Institute of Public Policy at Rice University in Houston. I earned a Master's Degree from the prestigious Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver in International Studies. I focused on Comparative and International Politics with emphases in Intelligence, Security, Global Health, and Professional Communications. I also have a B.A. from Regis University, where coursework in History, U.S. Government, and International Politics were part of my degree work.

My goal of tutoring, beyond the immediate need, is to produce critical thinkers. I welcome input from students and parents.

POLICIES: I tutor exclusively online. My hours begin at 11 AM PT, and my last slot starts at 4 PM PT except on Fridays. No tutoring past 5 PM PT. My minimum rate is $45 per hour. This rate extends to research, proofreading, editing, designing, and lessons. Of course, you are welcome to talk to me about capping hours or budgeting, and I will do my best to help you. I abide by all Academic Honesty policies set up by each school and policies set up by Wyzant, including that all tutoring of minors MUST have an adult in the room. I will send you a PDF upon scheduling. Potential students can request a free 25-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit. Cancellation requires 24-hour notice, or I will charge the total amount of the lesson to the student's account. Additionally, I will cancel and charge the time scheduled if a student is 15 minutes or later to an online lesson." less...
