Experience
I graduated from college with a masters in educational leadership. I'm completing my masters in educational guidance and counseling. In my 30 years of educational experiences, I spent one counseling high schoolers, one in a correctional facility, two teaching juvenile sex offenders, six in administration, and 14 as a teacher. I am confident teaching and tutoring students of all ages, including gifted and disabled students. I am skilled in auditory, visual, and tactile learning and methods to ensure that I can get through to the student. I get to know each student on a one-on-one basis, building a rapport and learning what their needs are. By understanding a student's academic motivation and goals, I can teach in a way that guides them towards achievement. I prefer to meet in a library for private tutoring, where distractions are at a minimal level, though I can tutor anywhere. As a tutor, I believe that it is important to instill self-confidence and understanding in each student. By optimizing their learning opportunities, I can help them feel prepared to tackle any problem they may face. When I'm not tutoring, I love to cook. I am always trying new recipes and cuisines. I also enjoy dancing and scrapbooking.
