I worked as a litigation attorney at a top law firm in New York City for almost 10 years. As much as I loved studying law, I did not enjoy practicing it. So, after obtaining a Master's in International Relations with a focus on Development Economics, I transitioned to non-profit work but then eventually found my way to teaching English. I have now taught for 7 years, and I love it. I have taught 7th Grade, 9th Grade, 10th Grade, 12th Grade, and AP English Language. I also coach our Debate team. I love helping the younger generation build their skills, knowledge, and confidence. I also love learning from them. For example, I am now a HUGE fan

I was a Special Education teacher for 10 years and currently work with children on the Spectrum. I have a master’s degree in Psychology and love working with kids. I break concepts into smaller chunks and scaffold to build independence.

For your elementary aged child, finding someone who knows exactly what they are doing can be difficult. I graduated from SUU with my Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education in 2009. I have taught in the classroom for ten years and am looking to expand my horizons outside of the classroom. My primary focus over the past ten years has been in third grade, though I have taught fifth as well. The unique thing about third grade is that in a third grade classroom sometimes I see the biggest ranges of all the grades in my room. I have helped students who are academically at a preschool level to students who could slide right into a high school...

I am in graduate school for a Philosophy Ph.D. at the University of Utah. I graduated with honors from Clemson University with a B.A. in Philosophy and Biology and a minor in Psychology. I am currently a graduate TA and in addition to creating course materials and grading, I offer individual attention to each of my students to help them succeed in not only getting good grades but in deeply understanding the content. I also worked as the Writing Tutor for the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Clemson for almost two years, wherein I helped students improve the clarity and rigor of their argumentative essays. I amassed significant experie...

I love being able to bring both my enthusiasm and experience to the table. Passing on what I've learned from my own tutors is my commitment. I thought it made me so happy to finally get something that was so difficult for me to understand. I've found that it's even better from the other side. It's so satisfying navigating students through a concept that they've struggled with and come out hyped that they got it.

Between teaching elementary school, raising seven children, working in early childcare, and tutoring children in reading for the past three years... I have gained in-depth knowledge about the process of reading and writing in children. Also, I was recently under contact to write 38 new children's readers for a company called Reading Horizons in Kaysville, Utah. In 2013 I published a children's chapter book called, "Shanna Banana Shines". I am extremely passionate about teaching reading and writing to children. These are some of the most essential skills we all need to have to succeed in this world! Children have always inspired me! I love the...
