Fun Facts

My favorite pastime is writing short mystery stories, which I hope to publish, eventually.
I work on crossword puzzles daily (sometimes the easy ones, then I feel very smart).
Additionally, I am trying to create " the best brownie recipe" on the planet (with a chocolate mousse filling),
so I've eaten many yummy mistakes!

About Me

As a California Certified, Christian teacher of 15 years, I have enjoyed helping my students achieve their academic goals in the diverse classroom settings of Sacramento and Los Angeles. Tutoring students has also been a large part of my expertise. In my sessions, we keep stress at a minimum and still maintain a commitment to excellence! I believe that learning can be fun, even though hard work is involved. All of my students show a marked improvement in performance with consistent effort.

Experience

I have tutored most elementary, middle school, and high school subjects. This includes math through pre-calculus, English, and the sciences. I also tutor for Standardized Test Prep - GED, GRE, SAT, ISEE, CBEST, ESL/TOEFL.

Approach

My techniques and strategies are highly focused and flexible, tailored to an individual's needs and abilities. I know that every student is capable of learning with the appropriate foundation and skills. We target weakness and strengthen it, then fill in gaps of missed information. We are always pushing forward and building confidence/self-esteem.
