"I have been a member of the WyzAnt community for more than 7 years, during which time I have worked with several students of various abilities - including those with special needs - grade levels, etc. Each and every one of them has become my friend as well as my student. I love bringing passion and purpose to learning.

Prior to launching my freelance tutoring career, I spent the preceding six months as an AVID tutor with my local public school district. In the course of any given day, I have been called upon to help students (junior high and high school) with math, history, science, physics, and English questions. In the final month, our coursework particularly emphasized ACT/SAT and AP test preparation.

I love teaching, and I love getting to know my students. I consider them my peers and friends as well as my teaching subjects. I have a passion for history, but have also studied the sciences extensively (I am actually currently a 6th grade science teacher!). I also know American Sign Language and Spanish in addition to my native tongue (English). I am anxious to share my passion for my favorite subjects and learning in general with those I tutor.

Along with my work as a WyzAnt tutor, I am also a full-time teacher with a local school district. Among my regular teaching responsibilities, I also help students with time management, goal setting, academic questions, and more.

I graduated 2 years ago with a MA Ed (master's degree in education) from the University of Colorado (Boulder). In addition to the science and social studies/ history endorsements already on my teaching license, last summer I added an elementary education (multiple subjects) endorsement as well. I am now able to serve my students even more efficiently than before!

I am new to the Charlotte area and excited to meet you!
