Bio
I am a seasoned educator who believes in meeting students where they are in their academic journey. I believe in being respectful of their unique learning needs and prioritizing personalized learning goals and plans to help each student progress along their educational pathway. One of my main goals in teaching and tutoring has always been to help students to see that you CAN succeed. Over the years, I have heard students say, " I can't do this or learn this!" My response has always been, "Maybe you can't do this YET, or you haven't learned this YET...but guess what? You can!" And, I am here to help YOU do just that! I want students to walk away from my classes knowing and feeling that this teacher believes in ME and I can learn this information and in fact--I can do anything I set my mind to do! Why? Because WHO I AM MAKES A DIFFERENCE! This has always been my educational why! The reason I do what I do! I look forward to the opportunity to work with YOU!
