I have three younger sisters that I have tutored during summers when they were in K-8th grade. I also have tutored children ages 5-7 in all subjects over the summer.
I was a 5th grade teacher for two years before moving to a new state. I have experience in several different level classrooms, and am able to tutor a wide variety of subjects and age groups. I love working with kids, and hope to help make children successful when they are struggling in a certain academic area.
