I have experience teaching individuals of all ages. I have been working with various tutoring companies since May. Furthermore, I have taught numerous children how to read and do basic math. I have tutored many of my classmates in various subjects including psychology, English, biology, and algebra since high school.

I used to be a church nursery teacher where I taught basic gospel principles to children 18 months through three years old. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified.

My teaching involves having high expectations combined with a high level of warmth and reinforcement. I believe everyone can learn, and everyone has the right to be taught in a way they can understand.
