Experience Summary
I received my degree in Early Childhood Development & Child Psychology in 1999. I tutored children from homeless shelters for 2 years.
As I began helping & teaching my two daughters in every subject, and saw how well they were doing, I realized I could help so many other children.
I then began teaching, tutoring & learning from pre-kinder to high school classes/students from that point to present. As for my daughters, one is a pre-med student in college & the other attends a health magnet. They encourage my teaching, telling me that I did a great job teaching & preparing them in their journeys to become successes in their futures. And I am happy to share that with others.
Teaching Style
Creative but structured to each child's needs.
My Hobbies
I love to spend time w/my girls, I also enjoy reading, drawing, diy projects,the outdoors & hiking.
Other Comments
