A Little Bit About Me...

Despite a demanding, accelerated academic schedule, during my three years at a competitive private college I voluntarily tutored underprivileged elementary students. In earning my BA in Sociology/Anthropology I became well versed on understanding people from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. I also have a strong background in the social sciences including social studies, history and language arts. My college major also required that I write numerous papers and helped me to develop a strong writing style, as well as a keen understanding of grammar. After moving overseas in 2004, I began substitute teaching at an elementary/middle school for two years. The experience I gained there was extensive and I am now comfortable working with children from pre-K through 8th grade, on a variety of levels and topics.
My whole life I have had a love of education. I look fo ... read more

I enjoy working with all age groups, and find it very rewarding helping others succeed at whatever endeavors they need asisstance in. I truly believe in challenging others to reach their full potential. I also believe my laid back, calm personality makes a good match for many people that can be shy or might be afraid to ask for help. I have been known to make many types of people feel comfortable and relaxed around me, which promotes a sense of self confidence in the learner.
