Hi there....I am a graduate of Bastyr University with a degree in Applied Behavioral Science. I spent 6 years as a counselor serving families, women in transition, and kids . I've worked in Schools as a Speech Therapist having trained in that profession at Oregon State University. I also have worked as a private tutor to kids needing a boost. It is truly a pleasure to see them succeed. Currently I teach ESL to kids online. What a priceless connection that is! My style tends to be a combination of fun and focus. When working with my students, I love to find that unique quality, that special spark that feeds their desire to learn. .

Though I'm new to tutoring, I've spent my career helping people communicate more effectively, first in law enforcement and field research, and now as a life coach and PhD candidate. I love this work because I get to see people go from hesitant to confident in how they express themselves. My specialty is communication skills: I help students build clarity, confidence, and comfort in how they speak and connect with others, using the same listening and coaching techniques I rely on with my current clients. I tailor every session to the individual; no generic scripts, just real attention to what each student needs.

I am a warm, creative, and highly individualized tutor with over 20 years of experience helping students build confidence, skills, and self-trust. I work with students in math, reading, writing, test prep, and voice, adapting each session to the student’s learning style, personality, strengths, and goals. My approach is patient, encouraging, and relationship-based. I help students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and discovering that they are more capable than they may realize. Whether we are working through algebra, essay writing, reading comprehension, SAT/ACT-style test prep, or singing and vocal confidence, I focus on

I am a graduate of Bard College, known for its creative writing and peer tutoring programs. I have several years of experience with elementary and middle school aged kids.

I tailor our lessons to meet individual needs, and have a breadth of subject experience including essay writing, creative writing, mathematics, and history.
