Teaching is a passion of mine. I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe that kindness, patience, and understanding are necessary characteristics when teaching students. With the proper motivation and guidance, all students possess the ability to learn. I teach my students with humor and respect. I like to make them feel at ease so they can focus solely on the material with which they need to study and learn. Learning should be a fun and rewarding experience. My students feel good about the progress they have made and look forward to achieving future successes. My goal is to foster independent thinking and help teach students the tools to learn on their own. I earned my bachelor degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth in Teaching Secondary Mathematics and Secondary Earth and Space Science in 2001. Since that time, I have been teaching secondary classes at the same

I am currently working as the accounting manager of a manufacturing plant with over 160 employees. I have additional experience in construction and personal business ownership. I have helped people incorporate and have written 501(c)3 applications for non-profit organizations.

I love teaching and working with all children of all ages and believe all children can learn, but I've learned that students learn in different ways. As part of that, I love encouraging students to believe in themselves and not settle for the status quo. I am patient, easy going, and considerate, and I want to provide the best education possible. But I also enjoy motivating students to take control of their education. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings, encouragement, tools and learning experiences. As a Big Ten graduate from Penn State University, I was very much driven to push myself in a wide variety of subjects to achieve a well-rounded education. But I also earned my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from National University in La Jolla, Calif. My undergrad degree in Film and Video/Communications. I've also sp
