Every subject has its own teaching style, yet there are some consistencies throughout. I teach based on how the student learns. This may require adapting typical styles to meet the individual student's needs.  You or your child will benefit from my focus on repetition and consistency, yet at the same time my desire for a variety of learning techniques. I encourage every student to do his or her own best work before bringing it to me, then allow me to help enhance his or her work to help the student excel.  It is my firm belief that every student has the potential to excel with the right environment, style, and motivation. It is my goal to figure out what this is for you or your child and provide you the opportunity to do so.

After working in the field of business for a number of years, I chose teaching as a second career because I wanted to help children reach their fullest potential. I earned a BA in Education in 2006 and taught elementary school for two years, after which, financial obligations required me to return to Corporate America. My passion, however, is working with children and helping them strive to achieve their goals. I have participated in mentoring programs over the last five years and am a mother myself. Helping children succeed is something I’ve found very rewarding and a feeling that is irreplaceable. I believe the importance of a good education is not primarily mastery of a particular subject area, but is preparing students to seek out knowledge about anything they will encounter throughout their lives. A strong and effective teacher is one who will act as a guide and facilitator to s

My love in life is helping people and helping them to achieve their personal goals. For the past 18 years I have been in the IT industry, and I am looking for a career change. I have held positions as a programmer, business analyst, and training analyst. My teaching style incorporates all of the senses, listening, watching and doing. Everyone learns differently, the idea is to tap into what works best for them. The way to do this is to better learn who they are as individuals. I have in the past prepared written learning materials and conducted stand up training sessions. I believe that my greatest strengths in learning and development are patience and a willingness to work with people.
