Fun Facts

I have a passion for Dancing! Often, you will find me taking lessons in Intermediate and Advanced West Coast Swing. It is a couples dance & a fun fact: West Coast Swing is the State Dance of California. I have traveled to 17 Countries and will be visiting my 18th Country soon.

I taught High School business subjects and English. In a Corporate Setting, I have taught Adults Communication, Business Math, MS-Word, MS-PowerPoint, Excel and Publisher. I also teach QuickBooks. My corporate training has been in Service, Sales & Software for US Bank, The UPS Stores. I volunteered teaching Religion.

Approach

As a student, I did well in school. My teachers recognized this early and I was given confidence. I was also selected to help tutor younger grades in my Elementary school. I knew from the age of 6 that I wanted to help others learn. As a tutor, I meet the students (whatever their age: young, teens, young and Senior Adults). I believe and feel it is my responsibility to not only teach the subject content, but study skills & hands-on activities that will help them be successful in problem solving.
