I completed my Master's in Education Leadership from Northcentral University and my Specialist's in Special Education from Walden University. I have 26 years experience working with students in inclusion and tutorial/resource classes. During those years I have co-taught math, English, and science as well as held a tutoring class and after school tutoring. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and English. I think the best reason is that I enjoy helping students develop strategies that they can take into their classrooms to help them get and stay caught up. Sometimes, a student just needs to hear and see the material presented in a different way and I love being able to help them do that. I also tutor science and some test prep. I would say my style is very hands on but I love to make learning fun. Whenever appropriate, I include fun video clips, songs, and hands on activities. I believe that students retain more when they enjoy the learning process and understand the material. That is my job to help them.

I enjoy reading and watching movies. I also enjoy crafting and canning. I make all sorts of jams, jellies, and relishes, and also jewelry and paintings.
