Award-Winning Tutors from Northern Arizona University

I understand math, especially Algebra subjects, are incredible complex and often abstract for students to learn. I enjoying breaking down the topics into "why" they work. I focus less on memorization of formulas and more on the reasons why the numbers are used. This approach also means that students are getting a deeper understanding and it makes it easier to apply their prior knowledge to new concepts.

My teaching style is enthusiastic, loving, and engaging! I believe that each individual learner is different, therefore, it is crucial to use a variety of teaching strategies with students. I believe that using hands on manipulatives, comparing material being taught to real-life situations, and students having the ability to explain their thinking are key elements to learning. Aside from teaching I am an active person who loves to travel and spend time with family and friends. I also enjoy photography, paying the guitar and reading.

I'm a teacher and tutor living in Sedona, Arizona. I'm a licensed Secondary Education teacher, and I've tutored everything from Elementary math and language arts through upper-level literature and composition. Growing up in the Sonoran Desert brought me close to folks from many kinds of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

I received a BA in Elementary Education from the University of Arizona. (Go Wildcats!) I decided to further my education and obtained a Masters in Elementary Education with a Reading Endorsement embedded. I have been a teacher for 17 years. I have also tutored (both online and in person) for the last 10 years. After teaching in the classroom I made the decision to become a Reading Interventionist/Coach.

I have since switched job roles and now work with English Learners and am able to utilize many of the same intervention strategies I used as a Reading Specialist.

I'm a recent graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Law. I had a minor in communication, and graduated summa cum laude from the Honors College. While in college, I was President of our Mock Trial Club, which required me to educate new members about the nuances of trial advocacy (such as broader procedure, criminal and tort law, and my favorite: rules of evidence).Before embarking on my pre-law journey, I was always a musician, and I remain one at heart. I'm a percussionist, and I've played anywhere from the Arizona All-State Band to casual rock bands with my friends. Regardless of the context, music primed me to see the art in everything that I do. It has influenced the way I live my life, the way I think, and now the way I teach. As captain of my high school drum line, I discovered that different people learn in vastly different ways, and it's entirely the instructor's responsibility to adapt to that. Failure to understand a concept reflects on the teacher rather than the student, and I now know this quite well having led several competitive teams, I rely on the students who I teach. As an LSAT instructor, it's my responsibility to adapt to your learning habits and ensure a deeper understanding. What's more: I take what I do seriously when you hire me, your LSAT success is my mission.I can surely get excited and ramble about music or about mock trial, but the same could be said of the LSAT! I truly had a great time preparing for and taking the test, and I'm here to ensure that you get the same experience. I'm looking forward to working with you!
