About
Hi! I am an experienced teacher with 6 years experience in public schools.
With WA State certification to teach English and history, I am ready and qualified to lay out a learning system which will get you and your student to where you both want to be.
I have helped hundreds if not thousands of students find success through martialing their inner fire and channeling it into creative learning pursuits.

I have a B.A in History and M.A. in Education with certifications through Washington State to teach English and History.

Find someone who communicates on your level and make sure they challenge you.
