Experience Summary
Need help with academic skill sets, test prep or a specific subject? Tired of being one among many in a franchised tutoring club? Want one-on-one attention at a reasonable rate?
I currently offer online lessons. Each session is tailored to the need(s) of each student.
I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, a Master of Science in Special Education as well as several teaching certificates in two states. I have taught in public and private schools and I continue to serve students of all ages, grades and skill levels; from those with severe autism to the gifted and talented, Pre-K through College.
Using a unique combination of tried-and-true teaching methods, accelerated instruction (the ability to achieve more than one year's academic growth in one year's time) and appropriate practice, I offer an incomparable opportunity for growth to my students year after year.
Take advantage of flexible scheduling, minimal distraction and the attention of a master teacher and you will see why each of my students believe that they are my only student.
Teaching Style
I tailor every lesson to the student that I am working with. I do not waste time on things already known, but focus on the exact point where a student will be challenged but not frustrated. I specialize in accelerated instruction (the ability to cover more than one years' worth of skills in less than one years' time).
My Hobbies
My hobbies are DIY home repair and decor. I love to learn!

My students have been able to become more efficient, learn what they need to or want to learn, actively attack their homework and have more time left over for activities of their own choosing. |
