My experiences have spanned all ages and types of children's learning abilities. From a church setting, to a public school to a driver training car.

As a recent graduate of Kansas State University, I am excited for the opportunity to teach reading and writing to all students. During my experience throughout the last four years, I have been fortu ... read more
