About
I'm fun yet firm. It is my goal to show my students that they can excel in all areas of their life if they put in the effort.
I love when students have that "aha" when they finally understand what I'm teaching.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I meet with the student and his/her family. I explain the tutoring process and have the student tell me his/her strengths. I may ask grade level questions or provide a formal pretest. I review the results with the parents and develop next steps.

My degree is in Criminal Justice, but I've worked in child welfare, mental health and education for over 20 years.
