Before attending and graduating law school, I taught as a contract teacher. I taught English in Chile for students ranging from sixth grade to twelfth grade and tutored adults as well. I was sought out in Rowan County for my desire to teach various subjects. I also taught English, predominantly in middle school.

Elementary Reading is one of my top subjects! Teaching reading is another one of my favorites. It is critical that a child reads, and rereads. After getting a child through a page in a storybook, we go back and work on any words that I had identified as problematic for the child. I teach the child various decoding strategies, such as phonics, chunking, identifying smaller words, the silent E, etc. I then have the student reread that page. If there are still words that the student is having problems with, we work on them again, and then reread. With each rereading, I time the student and point out to him/her how much he or she has improved. Being able to clearly SEE progress makes such a difference in the child's overall attitude and motivation.

I got the teaching bug while teaching English as a Foreign Language in China. I taught there for almost 9 years altogether, 1 year in Beijing, 7 years in Tianjin, and 1 year in Taiwan. I now work as a substitute teacher for Lewis County Schools and I also volunteer in the school library where I help struggling students with reading.

Affordable tutoring with an experienced college graduate.

I believe in guiding the student to the correct answer. It is important to me that the student be able to work the question or problem out so that they might do the same in a classroom setting.
I have worked at an academic library for the past 8 years. I scored a 29 on my reading ACT and have tutored elementary reading to children during four years of high school. I have also took numerous history classes at the college level and have worked with children from the ages of 4 years to 17 years of age.
