"Hello! I taught Kindergarten at a private school in Elko County for 3 years along with substituting in 3rd-6th grades. Prior to that, I worked with students with learning disabilities with a premier optometrist in Sacramento, CA.

I enjoy helping students of all ages unlock their potential and enjoy academic success, which in turn has a positive impact on self-esteem and life in general!

English has always been a favorite subject of mine. As an elementary student, I won numerous spelling bees and earned A's in literature, grammar, spelling and reading. In high school, I developed my creative writing skills and continue to enjoy writing and reading.

I majored in Marketing in college, and worked as an assistant teacher for the Marketing Dept. I have worked in the field for many years and continue to learn the most relevant and effective ways to market products and services.

I have always been fascinated with history in general and have been a life-long student of American history. My college minor in Communications has a lot in common with social studies.

If your child is struggling in school, I hope you will contact me. If your child avoids homework, tires easily while reading, has difficulty following directions or his/her test scores don't seem to reflect actual knowledge, I hope you will contact me. I would love to help!" less...
