Fun Facts

I love to travel and have visited many foreign countries, including Spain, The Dominican Republic, Canada, Puerto Rico & Nicaragua. While overseas I love to learn the native language, taste new foods, and meet new people. I hope to continue these adventures throughout my lifetime!

About Me

After many many years of schooling I am now staying home full time to care for my 2 young toddler/preschooler daughters. We love to play at the park, go on hikes, and read stories together. My family is everything to me. I also love to run & do yoga, go camping, attend live music concerts, and travel.

Experience

I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Education & a Master's of Arts (graduating Summa Cum Laude) in Teaching English as a Second Language. I have 8 years of teaching experience, Preschool through College level, and taught writing at University for 2 years as a graduate assistant.

Approach

1. Get to know my student a bit by learning about her/his background, family, hobbies, strengths, & favorite ways to learn.
2. Proceed with a short diagnostic assessment to determine strengths & areas to improve upon with target subject and needs.
3. Develop a short term or long term syllabus based on desired outcomes.
4. Teach while having fun!
