"My educational background includes a B.A. in Political Science from Central Washington University in 1992. I earned a tutoring certification while I was in college, and practiced tutoring for about a year. I worked as a tutor/mentor through Americorps for approximately 6 months. I was a Registered Behavior Technician for several years and was a Certified Behavior Technician in good standing for 8+ years, until late 2024.

I worked for the last 8+ years as a Behavioral Therapist, the last 7 with the same family. During that time, I had many opportunities to observe and assist the learning process. I learned a wide variety of skills and techniques to help learners grow and succeed. I have a proven track record of success in helping others learn.

I greatly enjoy teaching, especially in a 1-on-1 environment. I am competent at teaching reading, writing and math to early learners, but my true passion is teaching political science, history and government to more advanced students." less...
