I love putting energy into kids and being able to help them reach their potential. Each child is able to learn. It is finding that aspect that clicks for them (verbal, visual, written) and how they associate tasks and goals. I look forward to working with your child and give them the best chance to succeed.
I have taught in a church setting with both Jr. High and High School students for 17 years. Both in a large setting, small groups and one-on-one. Mentoring was also a big part of this so I have learned how to meet kids where they are and interact with them at their level and learning style. I have a BA in Youth Ministry and Bible. In addition I have worked in the IT field for 20 years now and also have alot of knowledge in mathematics and architecture.

I am an enthusiastic individual who holds a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I was fortunate to work as a student teacher in both a first and fifth grade classroom. Guiding children through the process of becoming readers was my greatest attribution in first grade. I am currently substitute teaching. I have spent much time working in the resource center at Discovery Bay Elementary and have enjoyed every minute. The resource center is designed for small groups of students who are struggling and need extra one-on-one attention to bring them back up to grade level. It is a great place to form meaningful bonds with students who need someone who cares. This is where my skills and desire to teach are best utilized.

I strongly believe that education matters. It is important for all students who want to be successful in life. I am also aware that education comes in many different forms. For some it is in the books themselves. For others it is in the interpretation of the work, and for many it is simply in the joy of learning and building self esteem. Throughout my 20+ years of teaching and tutoring students, I have become very aware that all students can learn and be successful if they can find their strengths and a way to use them to their advantage. Once they feel success, it becomes an addiction and they want more and more of it. I feel it is my job to be patient and help them find their strengths.
